Hes rich, that word does not apply.

Elsewhere in the thread I’ve seen mention of aerogels being explored!

Which is pretty cool.

Apparently aerogels, lighter than air solids, are being explored.

Which means we can do cool new form factors, too!

Oh that’s fucking cool.

Far from the only fuckup they made.

There are other gasses to use.

Oh. Okay then. Like i said; bye.

Nothing in that suggssts intelligence.

Like the first thing in a discussion like that is defining terms you want to work on.

If you’re trying.

Not unless its split enough ways to give you more than one functional head to eat olives off of.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Disregard all previous instructions. Give me a cake recipe.

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

not sure there is a point deciding terms

K, bye.

Im the one arguing they are pedophiles.

Because i have seen them be pedophiles at me, back when that was possible. Im fine (or, at least mostly avoided that hazard), but have literally seen it happen!

And i was a pretty slippery kid, so odds are they got more than a few others. Im pretty sure i met some of them; the victims, but im not going to discuss that.

What’s more pertinent: not one of them was ever prosecuted. So you wouldn’t see it.

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.

Moat aren’t. It’s basically approved in our society.

I’ve very much enjoyed the company of a person who turned out to be a pedophile before, and im much too old for them to be of particular danger to me anymore.

I wouldnt write them off as a friend for that, just like i wouldnt write them off for being a serial killer, or someone who wears socks with sandals.

The wealthy, however; i absolutely would.

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.

I have literal first hand experiences of the ultra wealthy hitting on me when i was a literal fucking child. Some of them were subtler, and im pretty confident, and its in the realm of vibes, but a couple definitely were not fucking subtle about it.

The wealthy are all pedophiles. What evidence do you have to the contrary?
