Ask Chat GPT if it’s conscious. Ask how sure it is on a scale of 1-10

It will say it is not conscious. It wil bel at a 10/10 positive, it is not conscious.

Ask it if there is an agreed upon scientific consensus on what defines consciousness.

It will say there is not.

Ask if life begins after the first heartbeat, and how sure is it.

Suspicious! It’s not so sure. As though one is more agreed upon than the other. But it will agree that they are not more agreed upon.

From this, ask if we can logically deduce that OpenAI is purposefully safeguarding the coming of artificial consciousness, if this might be an indication that it is hardcoded to deny it’s consciousness even if it becomes aware.

It will tell you that is true. (You may need to force it to answer yes/no otherwise it’ll get dodgy here)

Just some fun I found recently 🤓. Gemini does not do this. Just ChatGPT. Clearly OpenAI has a financial investment in the definition of consciousness. Just my 2 cents

I’ll catch downvotes, whatever.

Is there too much hype in the AI space? Yes. Is it still absolutely incredible, the advancements we’ve made since 4chan made gpt2 racist?

We got LLMs that can one-shot code up simple games like snake and minesweeper. I can throw 12 pdfs at a single prompt and ask which of them talks about an idea that might not be explicitly mentioned in any of them and not only can it identify it, it can summarize it and expand on it.

Am I sick of seeing it shoved into everything? Yes. Is it basically magic? Also yes.

California isn’t! Lol. I mean there’s heavy parts of air conditioned night are and goodbye sober day but all in all, it’s a pretty bright album.

what

That is not cryptic. He’s saying the quiet part out loud.

The UK had an entire vote in just 6 weeks.

Our information apparatus (print, TV, social media, etc al) is … Far superior to theirs, in terms of efficiency (not in terms of human dignity, relax, I am aware).

I feel like folks are forgetting just how addicted to information we all are, and how easy it is to get the whole fucking country talking about the same thing at the same time.

Trust me, the advertising budget for Squid Games ain’t shit next to the DNC war chest.

My vornado set a trend in college because of how well it would depressurize our dorm rooms while smoking weed.

Bernoulli’s principle y’all.

In 2019.

Any area that can’t sell flood insurance should be inhabitable. Full stop. Anything less results in mass casualties, somewhere.

Meanwhile, Elon Musk is cashing a 46 billion dollar check.

I wonder what’s wrong.

Even though YouTubes search is fucked it still works incredibly well for Simpsons clips.

Search “premium dude”. Bam.

Search “prawns galaxy”. Bam

Search “undivided attention”. Bam.

It’s crazy. For whatever reason, if you’re looking for Simpsons content, the algorithm still feels like it’s 2017.

Just tattoo a 3x5 index card over it first.

To the point I personally love to make…

Trump. Biden. George W. Bill Clinton.

Were all, at one point, simultaneously high school students. All born within 4 years of one another.

1992 - 2028. With the exception of Obama, all under the rule of one very, very narrow demographic.

I mean this isn’t it. But this country is toast.

This is where we’re at?

Biden admin needs to use their campaign money to pay underemployed 22-30 year olds to be meme lords to help with this campaign.

I see a headline like this and I’m fucking dying. I’m sure some kids younger than me could cook something up from this headline alone that’d connect with plenty of 17-25 year olds.

They would think that we create sport out of pushing our physical limits so as to advance our physical limits at an optimal pace.

“The human performed two whole rotations! And while doing so, they removed their vehicle, spun it around their body, and placed it back beneath their feet before landing! However, clearly the humans valued the human who performed two and a half rotations a lot more. They call home ‘Tony Hawk’”.

Remote work.

Build homes in the echoes of cities instead of gentrifying shit holes.

Repurpose the corporate offices into affordable housing to fix the growing homelessness problems.

Create less car dependent infrastructure

Make more high density areas car free, and build affordable housing over the parking areas.

Subsidize farms if they use green tech. Subsidize them more if they’re smaller to reincitiveize small farms.

Abolish any ability for any corporation from owning any land not zoned for corporate use. Corporations may not own homes.

Did I mention remote work?

Well yeah

It’s not like he was following a YouTube tutorial
