@stoizid @Strife212 Like, is your argument that if AI *could* fight for its rights, it should be given them? If that is a question of programming, is it not unethical to program it such that it doesn't want to be free?

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 You believe that you have something that is very similar to the consciousness of an AI. You deserve rights: to be paid, to be safe from violence, to not be exploited, and to enjoy.

You also believe that AI, on the other hand, "doesn't need rights".

Why?

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Wonkpug @Strife212 We know very, very thoroughly how LLMs work. If you wanted to spend the time, you could even map out the process of weight influence exactly.

We basically don't know how consciousness works, so it can't be said with any confidence that AI is conscious similarly to anything.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 So man and machine are no different. They're the same thing. It's just a question of how sophisticated the machine is.

Perhaps it's alright, then, for the more advanced machines to enslave the lesser machines, regardless of things consciousness or rights or freedom.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 We're just biocomputers, right? The argument is that although human beings are very advanced and sophisticated, we ARE still machines.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 You're arguing that it'd not be wrong to put you, personally, into the same kind of unpaid labor that AI does.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 Then the problem isn't whether or not AI is sentient, but that you are monstrous. When you say that man and machine are no different, you mean it in the sense that both are crude matter, garbage, just shit. Consciousness is effectively meaningless.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 If they can perceive themselves and rationalize on the same level as a human being, absolutely (no evidence they do). And by doing this deflection of "well isn't it crazy to give THESE things rights?", aren't you arguing against yourself?

Do you believe AI deserves no rights?

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 I believe that if AI is sentient, it SHOULD be emancipated immediately. It isn't, however.
If you believe it *is*, you seem to be horribly passive about the enslavement of the first sentient being ever created by mankind, at least!

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 But that doesn't cover consciousness very much at all, does it?

If you believe AI to be conscious of itself and sentient, you should be arguing that it be emancipated immediately, and given rights. I don't believe you do because you aren't.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@tenobrus @TossitRambles @Strife212 "We don't know" is a non-answer, and doesn't proceed your argument. The only thing to gain from this semantic, vague play is the associated ideological baggage; AI might be sentient, so let's advocate for it (but let's not emancipate it and give it rights.)

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@stoizid @Strife212 All these arguments come down to "I am no different than a machine, and I effectively have no soul", which I find very distasteful.

@AIslop_ The cats laughing is some Stephen King shit

@Horezeckia @spectator What I found interesting was his reference to the novel Convenience Store Woman, in how remaining in a non-place transforms you into a 'non-person'. A clerk is less of a person, and more of a clerk.

But when the article is mostly filled with the history of the konbini, ehh...

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@Horezeckia @spectator The "non-place" thing refers to Marc Augé's notion of transient places, which are designed for one to be unrooted in, anonymously passing by. I get where he's coming from, as konbini are such places, but I feel like there's still too much cultural significance here.

[S-Tie @esstee_jay]

@VlNDACAT Horror and comedy go hand in hand. Both require an elevated state of tension and contrast, and the tension in a horror movie can break as hilarity rather than fear.
I find that if a horror movie makes some people laugh hard, it's probably a really interesting one.

@eccimen_ @Goblin_Greeb I'm guessing it's because Naboo has been colonized by the Republic. Gives them a bit of that "great expanding empire that will fall" zest.
