Crows are really communal though so might be a better bet for human like intelligence in the long run. Magpies too, not because they'd help but because they are both intelligent and total jerks so even the eventual crow people wouldn't get to be happy thus maximizing the chaos.

Does that still apply when the CEO is also Emperor of the United States?

Chinas long term strategy really does seem to be just to keep calm and carry on while the rest of us fuck ourselves up repeatedly.

I presume by... making things? with the 800 billion euros?

Nah I think the plan this time around is going to be prison labour,

So I'd go with no at the moment because I can easily get an LLM to contradict itself repeatedly in increcibly obvious ways.

I had a long ass post but I think it comes down to that we don't know what conciousness or self awareness even are and just kind of collectively agree upon it when we think we see it, sort of like how morality is pretty much a mutable group consensus.

The only way I think we could be truly sure would be to stick it in a simulated environment and see how it reacts over a few thousand simulated years to figure out wether its one of the following:

• Chinese room: The potential AI in question just keeps dying because despite seeming intelligent when prompted with training data it has no ability to function when its not spoon-fed the required information in advance. (I think current LLMs are here given my initial statement in this post).
• Animal: It survives but never really advances beyond figuring out the behaviours required for survival, its certainly concious at this point but works more like a dog where it can follow commands and carry out tasks but has no true understanding of the meaning behind them.
• Person: It starts seeking out information in ways not immediately neccesary for its survival and basically does what we did with the whole tool thing and speculative reasoning skills, if it invents an equivelent to writing then we can be pretty damn certain its human level and not more like corvids (tools) or ants (agriculture)

Now personally I think that test is likely impractical so we're probably going to default to its concious when it can convince the majority of people that its concious for a sustained period.... So I guess it has free will when it can start or at least spark a large grass roots civil rights movement?

I'd say it ends when you can't predict with 100% accuracy 100% of the time how an entity will react to a given stimuli. With current LLMs if I run it with the same input it will always do the same thing. And I mean really the same input not putting the same prompt into chat GPT twice and getting different results because there's an additional random number generator I don't have access too.

R.I.P Razer, robbed of a championship victory despite dropping its opponent in the pit (and iirc suffering 0 damage itself) because the judges decided to ignore a clear violation of the rules regarding overall size.

Exactly its not some mysterious problem no matter how much the government and media try to frame it as one, people of the age to have kids have no time for kids and no money for kids so no wonder they have no desire for kids.

I'd go a bit further and say Camacho was actually pretty proactive, he did after all institute that nation wide intelligence test to find someone to tell him how to fix everything, and was humble enough to listen to that person once he found him.

Hey now if we're using the practical applications of the tech then the warp field emitters could be used to simply tear ships in half with as much or less energy than it takes to move the ship in the first place, or cause planetary cores to collapse into micro black holes, or create an inverted artifical event horizon around the ship making it physically impossible for weapons fire to pass through it because the direction of 'through' simply no longer exists.

So he's just an outright Traitor then?

Honestly fuck it we know appeasment doesn't work, I'd rather have WW3 now when Ruzzia is still just a middle power with a ton of second hand equipment than let them take half of eastern europe and build up some serious strength before finally having WW3 anyway.

Fucking Idiocracy is competence porn at this point, Camacho was an idiot but damn was he actually really competent if you think about the events of the movie.

This gif is so fun to analyze, in the show you only see the scene briefly so it seems just fine but the longer you watch it loop the more you notice the flaws that they could get away with in the format.

• Front wheels pop in and out of existence
• Horn on the top bounces upwards when facing away
• The antenna is always behind the bubble dome even when it should be in front of it
• Homer suddenly flips all the way backwards when the car is roughly facing to the right
• The entire scene is static except for the car itself and a single blink for Herb
• The spoiler slopes down when its on the left but up when its on the right

Which is accurate, its aknowledged by the writers as a bit of a hand wave to get the plot going.

Feels like a symptom of the same disease, When the ultra wealthy don't pay taxes and even effectively get negative taxes in the form of massive refunds and bailouts how could anyone else possibly feel proud about paying taxes in such a system. I didn't even make enough to pay tax this past fiscal year but if I had I'd be hard pressed to be proud about it when I know how much of the money is going into the pockets of political cronies rather than actually bettering the country I live in.

Unfortunate slight difference, The US was unwilling to go full scorched earth, the potential effect of the US bomber fleet using just conventional munitions was described as having the potential to do almost as much devastation as a nuclear strike, despite the warcrimes the US still held back. I doubt Putin would bat an eye at such a policy we're simply fortunate the russian military simply isn't capable of that kind of attack.

It got worse than this, the ticketing company really wanted to get the money from him so when he got hold of a copy of the records and pointed out that one ticket was for a completely different car they modified the records on their end to change the make of car so it would match his. iirc he only got out of it because he had paper copies.

Ok so point on this, there have been protests all over the US they're just not being televised in many other countries such as the UK, don't live in the US but would be unsurprised if they're not being televised internally too.
