  • Yeah, that’s where my mind is at too.

    AI in its present form does not act. It does not do things. All it does is generate text. If a human responds to this text in harmful ways, that is human action. I suppose you could make a robot whose input is somehow triggered by the text, but neither it nor the text generator know what’s happening or why.

    I’m so fucking tired of the way uninformed people keep anthropomorphizing this shit and projecting their own motives upon things that have no will or experiential qualia.

    What agony tastes like. Every nerve in my entire mouth, screaming. The room, spinning. The air, ringing. Can’t think. Can’t move. Every beat of my heart shooting pain as the nerves re-stimulate. Sometimes I still feel echoes of the pain. It has been twenty years. Just smelling the blend of other seasonings commonly used reawakens the flashbacks. Some part of me is still in that restaurant, still suffering, even now…

    I will never eat Thai food again.










  • There was also Nog, the young Ferengi from Deep Space 9, who allegedly addressed the test in two unique ways:

    He tried to bargain with the enemy ship and haggled it to a standstill until the simulation crashed,

    AND

    He used the tractor beam to fling the friendly ship back toward the border and then briefly engaged the enemy only to surrender in order to distract them from their prey and buy time. While the hostiles began boarding, he initiated self destruct but attempted to mute the ship’s computer announcement so they wouldn’t suspect it.
