@Strife212@G_S_Bhogal The scary question for me is not whether or not LLMs are conscious, it’s what is consciousness? Are we just complicated biological computers?
@CoachDanGo More than useless. Some of those classes and degrees are an absolute waste of time and indebting our youth to pay for useless bureaucrats and professors who have no marketable skills. The whole edifice needs to be destroyed.
@JesterJum I learned today at dinner that the Smithsonian takes volunteers to transcribe old cursive letters, so if you need some practice you know the place. Maybe you’d run into something interesting.
@BrianRoemmele This looks like a horse for the Donald.
This whole world is crazy. Statistics. Lineage tracking. Complex investment syndicates. I know a guy who had a nice exit and got in real deep. He loves it.
Western governments say they 'don't like division'.
Okay.
I double-dare them to remove all race and religion-based privilege from our legal system.
No more racial land claims. No weapons exemptions for religion. No more 'oh I didn't know murder was wrong because of my culture'. No more lower standards for university because of a box-tick. No more leaving children in abusive households because of 'cultural reasons'.
Nothing. Get rid of it all.
Return to the days where each citizen is governed by the same laws. Has the same responsibilities.
That would end division.
