@ArmandDoma Extremely weird that a guy would have an affair with someone in his professional circle, which provides temptation he would otherwise not seek out and ample opportunity and cover to meet with her.

The Treachery of Images

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@morallawwithin It gets worse. Physicists have identified all the fundamental forces and none of them are "touch", thus ruling out its existence.

@xwanyex @thereisnojayjay This rejoinder would carry more weight if you didn't regularly armchair psychoanalyze your ideological adversaries.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@CommanthaBiden He was effectual enough that someone wanted him dead and many now celebrate his passing. You can't have it both ways.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@ded_ruckus Also, many Christian ideas have antecedents or equivalents in other philosophies (Judaism, of course, but many striking parallels with Stoicism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism), so it can claim credit for spreading them widely but not for inventing them.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@ded_ruckus I'm skeptical that you get more than half after subtracting "basic" stuff that pagans understood (don't murder) and later secular developments (racism is bad, corporal punishment is wrong), but it's not exactly easy to rigorously tally.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@ded_ruckus Christianity made important changes to the moral character of pagan Europe, but Christians also understood pagans to possess conscience, moral reasoning, and moral knowledge independent of Christianity.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@ded_ruckus This is so wrong that the contrary position has been the teaching of the Catholic church since at least Aquinas and has scriptural support in the New Testament (e.g. Romans 2:14 - 2:15). Astonishingly ignorant take.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@jeffrsebo For a living? So, what, you get paid to shrug emphatically? Just checked, hard problem's still hard?

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@AlexGodofsky Biological neurons and their connections are noisy and less than completely reliable, so learning tends to be encoded more diffusely and avoid single points of failure. Artificial neural networks can unintentionally settle into such arrangements with less downside.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@kitten_beloved That's a Bingo

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@kitten_beloved My Claude won't stop "julienning". It's almost as annoying as a real chef. Thanks!

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

Uh-oh

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

Meet desperate contractors in your area. They don't want anything long-term, they just want to repair your roof.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@xwanyex You would also find it difficult to evaluate your past output and reconcile contradictions if your memory kept getting wiped after every question.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

You can't spell "rebased" without "based"

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@thewreathwright Yes, so long as character designers aren't doing their utmost to repel the male gaze and then feigning ignorance when they succeed in doing so.

[atomic_gingerbread @atomicgbread]

@jbarro AIs hold beliefs in the prosaic sense of possessing representations of external facts which dispose it to certain behaviors. The problem here is more that the AI lacks a coherent, integrated "self" to hold beliefs about, nor the rest of the neurological correlates of pain.
