My PDF reader is Turing complete via TTF fonts, the same computational class as the human brain, it emits intelligible and usually coherent text like a human, therefore My PDF reader is conscious.
@sephirothrule34 Yes it’s not good, and not to question the story’s validity, I’m not, but that tweet, it does the “it’s not x it’s y, blah blah blah a quiet revolution” pattern that LLMs always use, so quite disrespectful to not even be a human authored text.
@joseph_h_garvin Pipes (what you get in your shell with `a | b`) is a bi-directional communication channel between two processes bound to stdin/stdout, so it is IPC. For one-directional pipe chains, it's equivalent to function composition: a | b | c <=> c(b(a()))
