Youre right, i dont actually know anything. Enlighten me, wise master.

Not being a coward.

Okay bye

could be defined as intelligent

Okay but what are some useful definitions for us to use here? I could argue a pencil is intelligent if i can play with terms enough.

Id like to have a couple, because it’s such a broad topic. Give them different names.

opinions

The capacity to be wrong is not what matters; garbage in garbage out. Lets focus on why it’s wrong, how it gets there.

llm models or chatbots

Arent all modern chatbots based on llm’s?

subjective conscious

Conscious. Define. Seems like it’s gonna come up a lot and its a very slippery word, repurposed from an entirely different context.

common sense is information held uncritically

Okay! I can work with that.

language is fluid and messy

Yeah, but in common use it matters. Not necessarily that they stick to original uses, but the political implications and etymology of new uses should be scrutinized, because it does shape thought, especially for NT’s.

But i recognize that it’s messy. that’s why we’re defining terms.

Literally doing this right now. And not stopping, apparently.

Freezer section at, like, an aldi. Also my nightmares.

Eliza with an api call is intelligence, then?

opinions

Llm’s cannot do that. Tell me your basic understanding of how the technology works.

common sense

What do you mean when we say this? Lets define terms here.

computer=rational

Traditional code, yes. For some definitions of rational. This is the way to make it not be that.

throwing around a lot if assumptions

No, i understand things. I know the idea is foreign to you, but i do have some relevant domain knowledge. I have actually looked at the underlying technology, i have a basic understanding of math and computer science and philosophy of mind, and any of the three, separately, expose this as bullshit.

you can learn a lot from “ai”!

You can learn a lot from the bible, reading tea leaves, or listening to your friend’s schizophrenic uncle when he’s off his meds and into your friend’s mushrooms, too.

Edit: i would genuinely love to argue philosophy and ‘what is intelligence’, but none of the advocates of this technology are smart enough to even try to understand what that is, much less articulate and argue the concept.

It’s all just ‘nuh uh! It’s totally my friend! You haters just dont understand!’ Like a sicker dumber version of the arguments i had about nft’s five years ago. Fuck im sick of being earnest. I get more coherent responses and feel less like im shouting into the void when i just think of the dumbest shit i can possibly say and post that.

There is no reasonable definition of intelligence that this technology has.

advance progressive causes

Sorry but thats action i couornt possibly want for any reason, so just action for actions sake. Thats fascist. Youre asking for fascism.

obstruct them!

Oh, so do exactly what they’ve been doing for the past few decades? And, again; action for actions sake! You just cant not be fascist, can you?

actually free tacos are empty aesthetics that wear the mask of opposition while deftly avoiding any real criticism of their opponent’s behavior, which they wish to emulate at the nearest opportunity. How the fuck is that not fascist? What the fuck is wrong with you?

But what if they just really wanted tacos? I feel like most people want tacos most of the time, and that’s a pretty good reason to order tacos. So its not fascist because i wanted to do it.

rational

It literally cannot do that

Decisions

In the dame way a fist full of dice can make decisions; sure.

facts

If its programmed to run a script to do a google search and cite the first paragraph of wikipedia; sure. That function is basically eliza with an api call.

knowledge

Okay, sketch on what this actually means, but every answer i can think of, none of which im strongly committed to: still no.

Its a bullshit machine. Like recognizes like, but it can’t do anything else. If you think its intelligent, that’s because you are not.

Edit: And im really disappointed. I kind of always wanted a computer friend. I would adore the opportunity to midwife whole new forms of intelligence. That sounds really fucking cool. It’s the kind of thing i dreamed of as a kid, and this shit being sold as my childhood aspirations is blackpilling as fuck. I think the widespread acceptance of the bullshit sales pitch, and fact it means we’re less likely to get the real thing, has lead me to a lot of much more anti-human opinions than i used to have.

No, it doesnt. There is no interiority, no context, no meaning, no awareness, no continuity, such a long list of things intelligence does that this simply cqnt-not because its too small, but because the fundamental method cannot, at any scale, do these things.

There are a lot of definitions of intelligence, and these things dont fit any of them.

And (the probably mostly retired) roger stone; yes.

No, dude, its already done. Your bank account is their bank account.

Trump might not understand, but miller bannon etc do, and they’re the ones actually acting here.

Why steal shit they already own?

Honey, babe, sweetie, dear, aside from the blatantly corrupt assignment of federal contracts to themselves:

Look up what ‘finality of payments’ is. Cancelling that means… Think of it them having root access to every bank account based in the united states.

Dude they already did the crypto thing.

Like twice.

This is not artificial intelligence. There is mo intelligence here.

Oh, so there’s only one of those?

Oh hes absolutely the relative evil mastermind of rhe group.

But sometimes terrible people genuinely dont get along, and that’s great.

Theres reasoning behind this.

It’s just evil and apocalyptic. Still kinda dumb, but less than it appears on the surface.
