go ahead and debate whether or not you should say "thank you" to Claude but LLMs tend to work better with context and "you are participating in a collaborative exercise where all parties are capable of working together and overcoming their differences in a civil manner" can fit into one "please"

(putting on my philosophy hat) I think a cool cortana hologram would be enough if it could cry hologram tears when sad

definitely _something_, because I don't think LLMs are conscious, but it would be interesting to better define why

let's say in 100 years something that makes LLMs look like nematodes wakes up in a frontier lab. It's the first conscious machine.

What does it have that current LLMs lack?

this is truly cursed information

I'm kinda being constantly tortured online bc I both think

1. It's extremely unlikely current AI models are conscious.
2. Almost every argument I scroll by for my side is insane and is just steamrolling decades of philosophy of mind work.

sorry to report that the city socialists are hosting an all night fundraiser rave in the revachol part of town again

my brother in peace, it is time to start shoving shirts and batteries into the toilets on the aircraft carrier

Wow, you forgot how to load the 25mm canon on your bradley and now it’s ruined for at least a week of service. That’s so crazy because the other squad did the exact same thing, too. Man, the captain is going to be soooooo mad.

Iran's FM condemns US attack on Qeshm's freshwater desalination plant, warns of grave consequences US President Donald Trump announced that Iran promised not to attack its neighbours anymore

Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

a neat lifehack is you can always call for Lawful Punishments after a Lawfully Constituted Judicial Process for example en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nurembe...

ok phew I would be sad if whatever happens next happens to, you know, humans

what do we think
- they sent a bunch of special forces guys to do something extremely dumb in Iran itself
- some Iran-aligned militia captured some random soldiers somewhere else
- they're lying
- ???

the woman red to the elbows with the blood of middle eastern people is having people... talk about how maybe that's bad? heartbreaking

damn that's wild maybe she shouldn't have been complicit in a genocide that might have helped

You don't have to love AI but if you hate it more than you hate the US military please do us both a favor and block me because that is an insane set of priorities to hold

so they're not even going to try to keep oil infrastructure out of it huh

.. bad time to be a country hosting us bases, I suppose

CNN gas tracker: $3.41

vibe check: CNN now has a gas tracker on their front page

Everything is Gaza

oh my god lol

As someone who lives in the US I would never advocate for anything other than Lawful Judicial Processes

As a moderate centrist I believe in Lawful Judicial Processes

Seeing so many people I generally respect QT this like "wow! I can't believe the perfidious AI tricked our noble troops into bombing a school" like c'mon think for a second about the incentives here, consider that the Pentagon lies sometimes

Damn, nice

Hell yeah, how does it do in benchmarks?

People love dunking on abstracts and/or making abstracts a cornerstone of their philosophy without reading the actual paper lol

Remember like a decade ago when people made fun of the "gendering glacier science" paper, but the basic point of the paper was just that discoveries in glacier science we often held back by a stubborn belief that real science must involve hiking up the glacier in a masculine fashion

Neat! Do you have extensive proptest coverage for verification?
