This was originally going to be posted on Fuck AI, but it really applies to technology far more generally.

    Whatever confusion the metaphor may have caused in the minds of the public, I don’t think the solution is to ask neuroscientists to deliberately misrepresent their research—or to impose on themselves metaphorical language aimed at influencing policy rather than aiding scientific understanding.

    In the light of the recent passing of Daniel Dennet, one of the most revered philosophers on the theory of mind in the perspective of the computer I’d recommend reading ‘the minds I’. It is a collection of essays on the topic of ‘mind as computer’. It predates LLM’s but its an interesting read.

    The discussion what intelligence is, is kindled now, due to having machines that can complete the Turing test with ease. But if they are truly Intelligent is of course the emergent question.

    Isn’t it more like a network of several billion dumb computers?

    AI isn’t that bad mate, just learn how to make money with it before other people do and you will be fine.

        LMAO there are people doing business with AI generated CP? I mean why someone would buy fake CP or even fake porn at all?

        Edit: I mean porn it’s already enough fake why someone would want to buy something even physically unreal?

        Edit: I believe it’s definitely a bad business idea.
