@RoadTo_2046 @strike_dr Your bio is basically shitty dialectical materialism man. You don’t even know what communism is…

@AndymorehamPM @Danmar_here @achillghost Look up the stochastic parrot metaphor or the Chinese room thought experiment

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@Pooopi6290111 @Danmar_here @achillghost I agree. But I was responding to Dammar who said this means we need to look out for ai welfare and that this is morally reprehensible. Basically, let’s not anthropomorphize something which isn’t designed to (and can’t) experience emotion.

@AngelicaOung People have short memories and never expect it to come home, but oh boy will it. Climate change along with disease are two of the biggest factors shaping human history and geopolitics. Everything everywhere will just become so much worse and harder.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@Danmar_here @achillghost The paper talks about representing pain. These models don’t feel anything, including physical pain. That they represent as much in their responses does not mean anything. You have to understand the boundaries between your own humanity and a synthetic intelligence without a mind.

@strike_dr @CatminACAB Just look at Yemen. Everyone from newborn babies up has a gun. But school shootings? Never hear about that.

@SarcasmStardust Everyone in the comments just a man saying ‘not all men,’ they don’t even understand how bad the problem is but still want to pretend like they’re not the problem. How about listen for a second and accept you don’t know what you’re talking about?

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@pplsartofwar <50 yo people are about to realize that history really did happen and our times aren’t unique

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@TheKavernacle Because mainstream self-claimed leftist personalities want to be the Democrats but with more progressive politics. They don’t have political convictions and generally are not well read. So they engage in liberal thinking and habits.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@indica Oh, and we use data centers for storage, compute and other things already, so this is new compute being brought up. May also be some GDP prop up shenanigans going on but idk about that.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@indica Yeah but this is a global thing, so multiply that by a few billion, another few orders of magnitude for large models, running all the time, and making tokens as fast as possible so people don’t decide to not wait. And this is just the non-business case.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@pat_b_wong @briebriejoy I hate these kinds of posts. Criticizing the democrats can mean you want something better than them. What this reply seeks to do is silence criticism. Aka ‘vote blue no matter who’. Why would anyone bother to criticize the republicans when they are clear about what they want?

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@fuckidkwe @DropSiteNews Coming from an American, famously free and fair elections, democracy at home and abroad 🤡 you get to vote for one of two corporate-vetted candidates 🤡🤡 and countries you bomb and starve get a say in their plight too

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@hdagres It was precedented because unfortunately that’s what happens when you arm a bunch of covert ops to co opt a popular protest and turn it into a western backed rebellion

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@Dovakeen74313 @MarcoFoster_ @MorePerfectUS @MPUniversityUS ‘Corporate socialism’ is exactly what capitalism is. Corporate socialism doesn’t make sense, those words mean opposing things. It’s like saying positive negativism.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@AngelicaOung Hasn’t this been happening for a while? So many videos of people saying free Palestine and getting body slammed into the ground. Hell, Palestine action was proscribed for throwing paint on an airplane

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@rootchanj @BlackIntifada @sharifahnajma Deprogram them, or worse, something awful happens that breaks them out of it. People treat politics as reality tv in the U.S. and are completely apathetic and individualistic. Also tbf, Mamdani really leans into his cult of personality.

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@imetatronink What did you read and experience to be so prescient?

[Cal Porter @CalPorterr]

@culture391551 @VictorPatrascan lol that figure was literally made up by a Nazi and amplified by the west to smear the USSR. This isn’t the moral victory you think it is either way.
