I assume the most basic scenario that we’re just complex patterns of self referencing data (electrical activity), your conciousness can cease during anethstetic or some types of coma or rare cases of temporary brain death and start right up again no problem, if someone replicates a close enough copy of you then that’s got an equal claim to your continuity as the you that wakes up in the morning, even if you’re still alive both of the yous are you, the yous could even be merged again so long as no data is destroyed the new hybrid you would have a completely valid claim to both continuities that emerged following the intitial seperation.

TLDR: You’re no more special than a videogame save file and that’s fantastic because it makes it really easy to be immortal or get resurected.

Also the Human brain is still on par with some of the worlds best supercomputers, I doubt a Tesla has that much onboard processing power.

I mean the end goal of AI is to monetize access to information while obsfucating the pre-existing free information so there’s no real conflict there?

That’s kinda scary honestly, but I guess feeling like I have no intrinsic self worth and thus being extremely skeptical about any entity thats nice to me all the time finally has an upside!.

If you find the super bland stuff that only comes in ‘chicken’ flavour its like 7 euro per dry kilo (bought as seperate packets, its cheaper in bulk) which is almost a week of cheap calories to bulk out some vegetables or cut price sausage. Or you can get fancy and fry it up with an egg and leftovers.

HOW though? I periodically check if an LLM can run a passable one on one D&D esque game and they can’t even remember who is who or what they said a few paragraphs ago.

Nah the horrific part will it at first doing erratic but vaguely in character posts of people you actually liked which will then slowly mutate into shilling for whichever political party or company paid facebook the most.

Given that a lot of websites need cloudflare to shield them from getting DOSd by the infinite hord of web scrapers maybe cloudshare should be depicted as a shield blocking a broom from knocking the tower over? Probably both held by the same person…

Honestly the wording worries me, while I’m almost certain our current approach to LLMs is completely incapable of conciousness, the way the big companies are wording their use of it implies that they would absoloutely enslave a sapient being if they could.

Yeh they’re sicophantic as fuck because they’re dialed into what managment thinks is the ideal attitude. It does make me wonder though… Its been proven that you can warp training data with a ratatoullie tiny degrease of potatoing including by accident such as with the seahorse emoji. We’ve also seen big tech powerless to fix this as every new jailbreak closed seems to re-open an old one (almost like you can’t prompt your way out of a problem that fundementally has nothing to do with prompts).

So can we collectively just… invent some new words? and train AI to use them? Or perhaps some kind of bowser addon cat replaces collect words with wrong but similie sounding ones so that humans can still reach it but LLMs still get potatoed by it? Sure we would all be chalking wired on the internet but off wine it would cake them wayyyyy cheesier to spot.

All we did was create an economy where no one has the time or money for kids… why is no one having kids!?

This is what I was thinking (but you seem way smarter than me) the design of a chip is about as close to pure math as a physical object can get so in order to validate it we’re going to use software that’s just math but worse?

I was under the impression that jury trials have a higher false conviction rate so this is actually a win? Then again its the UK so I’m sure some way will be found to fuck it up.

But… people live their whole lives in first person view?

Especially right now, at least where I am a steamdeck is half the price of a regular laptop with the same specs.

iirc that was the claim but it did significantly worse in actual tests, I wish em luck though as we can always use more competition on the market/

Goddamn, LOVE those clouds.

The country with a leader who accepts any and all bribes + the country with a leader so spineless that you don’t even need to pay him? Who’da thought?

I’d imagine the lack of being shipped many thousands of miles is what makes them ecologically friendlier.

They can claw my modded gameboy and collection of old and still working consoles from my cold dead hands. I’ll go full retro before I pay a subscription.
