Please apply that to this:

all I said was that I don’t know and neither do you.

Because there is not any evidence whatsoever that there is consciousness associated with LLMs. We have ample evidence that consciousness is associated with many forms of biological life.

I’m not even aware of a scholarly theory suggesting there might be consciousness associated with LLMs. Now, I’m not an LLM expert, but neither are you (hurr durr) and so I think if you are going to suggest that maybe consciousness exists there, it should be based off something other than “hey man you never know” which is pretty much what it feels like. (Or you should be unsurprised when folks find that assertion unconvincing.)

The people cheering it on think it’s patriotism. Then there still seems to be maybe a third of us who think this was just another election we had in 2024.

The rest of us know, and are appropriately freaked the fuck out.

Does anyone ever think the guys with anything at all like that on their clothing have forgotten how to be violent? Did we need a reminder? Or does this guy just want to be a typical posturing, aggressive, “alpha male” maga shitstain and be certain no one forgets it?

I don’t think they are stalking me - it usually looks like they just go down the thread and everyone who is +1’ing that day’s ranting or mockery of Trump/Musk gets a downvote.

And here I thought Jack White coined the term.

Well it’s not a meme (and I’d be told that immediately) so wasn’t sure where to go with it. Fortunately the rules of shitpost are that anything goes.

Stupid mother fuckers.

Anyone old enough to remember knows - politicians have been stupid and reactionary about public access to the internet from its earliest days.

Section 230 of the DMCA is probably the only reason social media as we know it was able to emerge past infancy. (You could argue about whether we might want to put that cat back in the bag, but the earliest discussion forums, leading to sites like Lemmy and Reddit, also could not have existed as we all knew them.)

And frankly, this looks like another part of the march to oligarchy to me. When the only social media sites that can exist are those with owners that have big enough pockets to hire enough people to become responsible for what users post and aggressively control it… (or, shudder what if the end goal is literally nationalized social media)

I absolutely love that Emby is such a third thought that they don’t even get a mention anymore.

“I can’t be a bigot, I have this one black person I’m willing to call a friend!”

My bad for not being in circles where this behavior was common the last 20 years i guess?

When people talk about privilege, and checking it, doing that before your other comment is what they are talking about.

Aaaand scene

The scene I pictured while reading that:

I think the person who originally posted it may have had that intent. I don’t know anything about them. But I’m skeptical that Musk’s retweet was for the same intent. 😀

I think you’ll need to apply to be a mod of the sub so you can change the rules and sidebar then.

Anything and everything goes.
