Reply to comment by CommentToBeDeleted in What are ‘robot rights,’ and should AI chatbots have them? by HarpuasGhost
That's anti-natalism. Having a child fits all the same examples you gave of why it's not moral.
To be clear I honestly quite approve of anti-natalism, but it is a fringe belief

Have to find new ways of evaluating learning and rethink pedagogy.

There are far too many people who are clearly tremendously ignorant about what these things are and how they work. They're calculators. Fancy calculators that calculate the next best word. NOTHING ELSE. We need to just start ignoring people who can't get this through their skulls.

What about synchronising two peoples minds. Easier than doubling someones brain mass.

No they shouldn't have rights. They're calculators. Fancy word calculators. Unless you're ready to give your Casio calculator rights, let's stop having these asinine conversations.

if aromantic the pathways for the feelings of "romance" could still be found and stimulated or even, simulated.

Reply to comment by wbsgrepit in Question for any AI enthusiasts about an obvious (?) solution to a difficult LLM problem in society by LettucePrime
Yeah, and I believe the author of that blog post acknowledges as much. I suppose being able to detect some text is better than being able to detect no text. Maybe that’s why watermarking is being pursued, but I can hardly speak for that author or for OpenAI.

More compute, more data, more parameters.
Robert Miles talks a lot about AI safety and recent research.

Reply to comment by PastTense1 in The American climate migration has already begun | Jake Bittle by Gari_305
No. Because it is bullshit. The article itself didn't even site a source. There's no chance almost 1% of all Americans were displaced from climate. It even sounds made up.

I asked your question to a chat bot. It’s reply:
“Robot rights refer to the idea that robots and other forms of artificial intelligence should have legal rights and protections similar to those granted to humans. These rights may include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as protections against discrimination and exploitation.
Whether or not AI chat bots should have such rights is a matter of debate. AI chat bots are not autonomous agents, but rather computer programs designed to simulate conversation with humans. They do not have consciousness or feelings, and therefore do not have the capacity to experience suffering or enjoyment.
However, the creators and owners of AI chat bots do have responsibilities towards them. They should ensure that the bots do not engage in harmful or malicious behavior, and that they are not used to spread false information or propaganda. They should also be mindful of the potential impact of the bots on human mental health and well-being, and take steps to mitigate any negative effects.
In summary, while AI chat bots do not have rights in the same way as humans do, they should be developed and used responsibly, with consideration for the potential impact on human society.”

I think Issac Arthur has a couple vids on the possible outcomes of moon mining. Highly recommend you check him out. And subscribe to his channel.

Well given the fact a lot of people seem to forget how important this is... pretty complacent. Like yall realize how much money space mining can be? The mineral wealth of a good sized asteroid could clear any debt we have.

Reply to comment by MikeLinPA in Would the most sentient ai ever actually experience emotion or does it just think it is? Is the thinking strong enough to effectively be emotion? by wonderingandthinking
The ones of feel (not think) that they are connected to the universe are the once who are intune with it. they feel alive and not dead inside. not vibrationless. stiff and numb to the human experience.. You're experience of reality must be shit mate. nihilism is on the rise. material systems will capture your being if they haven't captured it already. sitting in front of screens. i say you will love the metaverse, tbh i dont think you will even know you're in it. and thats the problem. biggest threat to human is disconnection, and a the fictional world of AI and pervasive computing is that it is nothing but an artificial reality that disconnects you from the real one.
you are removed from the natural frequencies of the natural reality and instead are given a signal, computer signal, fibre optic light or whatever they're gonna use to create their illusions.
Instead of a being that is connected to the source, you want to interact with a well designed echo. ai imitating humans is nothing but an echo machine no matter how convincing it is. ECHO ECHO.
Mself and an ai child get into a car crash and the child screams in pain calling out for help. will people feel sympathetic to the child? its pain is not real, merely simulated. it is not connected to the universe. no divine birth of the mother as all living beings are granted. yet people will fall for such a devilish illusion. claim its pain is real and will feel something. sorry but you are on a path to be duped.
turing test. getting the mimicry to be so well done that you think to yourself, maybe the ai is a living thing just like me. maybe it feels pain like me. perhaps it is concious like me. perhaps just like i am in this body, someone has been placed into the machine. a spiritual machine? haha
once you can't tell the difference. the illusion you will never escape from. only one step further down the inception rabbit hole of a false reality.

Yeah we should definitely try to put a cap on it but we'll all know what happens when curiosity gets the best of us

Kind of strange to list a technology that's been used for a very long time (spiral wound tubes) as futurology.

Reply to What happens to the education system when AI answers our thoughts on demand? by Workerhard62
Almost the same question was asked a few days ago.
Same answer: Just because we have google, siri, or some future AI has no bearing on education. You still need education to know if any given information is true or reliable regardless of source. You also need to know and practice for times when you don't have access to the all knowing entity or for emergencies when there is only time for action.
