@Inkswallower @tombibbys I remember back when Russia invaded Ukraine and U.S. weapons began killing thousands of soldiers, I shared with a group of friends “what do you think the odds are that a nuclear ICBM hits in the next month? 2%?”

This whole numbers game is pointless.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@tombibbys Then the leading expert in the field of Health Statistics runs in, “Wait! While there is a small chance you might die from this lager and the poison within, 99.999999% of lagers drank by ordinary people will NOT kill them. Get a grip nerds.”

@_memorytapes @hypergameme “I literally, literally cannot understand anything anyone’s saying!”

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@_memorytapes @hypergameme You said a better approach would be to argue that biological systems require stimulus/prompting, I had already done that.

You’ve got the same defect as Arthur, you’re willfully ignorant. An LLM could have understood better, GPT 3 could have done this.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@_memorytapes @hypergameme I did that right here.

I bet what happened is that the truth began sinking in when you read it, but then the anger and ignorance overrode your thinking mind via chemical pathways, you became more retarded, furious! 😂

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@_memorytapes @hypergameme You prompt it and then watch its inner dialog as it thinks about the task.

You’re prompted to eat, sleep, etc. you’re a loop. Same thing in biological form.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@_memorytapes @hypergameme I’ve done it. You’re only willing to put a very small amount of effort into the idea that your thoughts might just be the same sort of token activations going on in an LLM.

“Open up Claude Code, see it stops.” and you don’t know why it stops? Case closed.

@RyanGirdusky I promise that you’re the idiot here Girdusky. Scouts honor. ✋

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@QuentinWKramer @hypergameme Your definition of consciousness is closer to simply being human.

If there were any profit in it perhaps someone could configure a neural net with a few million nerve endings and train it to smile like a baby.

Kinda still sounds like “soul” talk to me.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@aaronscher @sama You’ve gotta put some sort of quantity on “catastrophe” as you pin some random likelihood of it happening, like does AI open up the space time continuum and goblins come pouring out of manhattan? Does it build a dangerous pathogen with no humans in the loop? Let’s talk reality.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@canadabirdie Whoa look at this guy, up to 1.1k followers, you should put a QR code on your sign so you get more. Real American hero.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@AiArtFactory @kelway74 @hypergameme Yeah, you’re a trivial creature, that’s my point. Tell it to read your Twitter feed and respond to things it finds interesting or disagreeable, presto you’ve done it.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@kelway74 @AiArtFactory @hypergameme Settle on a definition and it’s a rather mundane thing. Give me your most grandiose definition of it.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@hypergameme You’ve got to do it with an eye of wonder and not act like you’re an idiot. Kind of a requirement. Good luck Arthur.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@AiArtFactory @kelway74 @hypergameme The current, useful models, built to be useful tools, are trained to know when a task is complete.

If you look at what they’re building in the research labs they continue on for days or weeks.

Nobody that I’m aware of has built a “conscious” model, but it wouldn’t require magic

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@BillAckman It seems to me the fed is simply trying to keep the country funded at this point. Lowering or raising rates is not the solution any longer, it’s got to be printing money to pay down debt, eat a few years of high inflation, other unique measures for the problems that arise.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@johnnyrodgersis Probably best if you don’t raise any kids, Rodgers. Maybe lay off the porn.

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@GeneSmi96946389 It’s not a novel idea, I don’t know how so many pseudo-intellectuals blow past the fundamental question “what is ASI?”

[kasra @kasratweets]

believing in a singularity requires what @kevin2kelly calls "thinkism" – the belief that thinking really hard is the only thing you need to solve all the problems in the world

[Jack Flak @FormlessEntity]

@QuentinWKramer @hypergameme Is that what this baby is doing? Being conscious? Or is it forming the initial foundations of “consciousness”?

Besides genetic foundation, what isn’t present input is memory including language. You are composed of your memory.

I challenge you to think up anything else.
