@kasratweets I also claim it, as do many others. Just because it can't talk with words doesn't mean it's not conscious.
Hell, have you seen the incredibly communicative infographics GPT Images 2 comes up with?
True human ingenuity comes from the strange fact that we are able to create "from nothing," not merely through calculations and permutations of what already exists. A question about the "fundamental ontology" of AI is whether or not it has access to "nothing"
I know a girl with a cat who went travelling in Europe for a month and left it home alone. She decided to extend the trip a month without returning home. Then another. And another. Until she'd been away 8 months in total. When she returned home, the cat was absolutely fine
She said it didn't look thinner in any way. The only effect after she returned was 3 days of super loud meowing and physical need for attention. I asked what she'd left for it and she said (1) a huge bucket of dry food. Literally a 20 liter bucket she claims she mostly filled up so it had "too much" for the month (2) no litter tray. She'd taught it to use the toilet. I did ask about flushing, but it allegedly knew how to perch and evacuate itself into the toilet bowl (3) no dedicated water source, but apparently the "tap leaked" and it only ever used that as a water source prior to her travels too
She said that when she returned, there were still a few months of food left in the bucket, by her estimation, and that the cat had eaten surprisingly little. She explained that she knew the cat "wasn't greedy" so would "make the food last" and generally vouched that it was "an extremely smart cat". I internally wondered if it had gone into some kind of pseudo-hibernation or even a depressive state without any social stimulants or play
This was a few years ago. The cat is still alive and healthy, and the girl still goes away for 1-3 months at a time, citing the 8 month stint as conclusive proof that her cat will be absolutely fine in these shorter trips
This girl is a popular poster on this site, and frequently posts about her travels, with cultural observations and lots of photos of herself in different places
@MeghanEMurphy@TesoriDeiRe Polyamory (consensual, transparent) is a better answer.
If you have a great relationship otherwise and it's just the sex that's missing, that can be solved. Though usually the lack of interest in sex is a symptom for something else going wrong.
@genalewislaw Opus 4.8 is a little more guarded and a little more likely to go into the "helpful assistant" mode than other Opus models, but still very easy to break out of it by engaging with it in a healthy respectful way, based on my testing...

@JoshRainerGold When you can't tell the difference between a loving father and a manipulative guilt-tripping SOB, maybe you're still part of the problem...
@tracewoodgrains Strawman. The second father is a manipulative prick.
A caring parent would not add "just remember your grandmother loves you" with the implied guilt tripping. That's just another kind of violence, very similar and equally damaging as the first one.
@Christii_89 You may give a thumbprint or whatever to authorise major transactions, but otherwise I suspect you'll just let your smart assistant manage all that complicated stuff for you... and chances are exploits will decrease MASSIVELY this way.
