Well, I’m not so sure about that. Consider this:

Quantum Mechanics (QM) makes accurate statements and predictions about a lot of physical experiments.

That doesn’t mean, however, that the theory in especially well-liked, especially among common people. There are a lot of people who think that QM is incorrect, or at least incomplete, simply because it contradicts their intuition.

The frying pan, the penny and the glasses.

I just don’t agree that it “doesn’t help”.

It does help, at least it helped me.

Not asking these questions doesn’t get us any closer to the answer either though?

the magic is that you exist at all, darling, and that you can observe it

Edgy comment here but:

In another thread we were discussing AI-generated CSAM. Thread:

https://feddit.de/post/6315841

You would probably agree, then, that such material is not problematic, because even if it looks like CSAM, and it quacks like CSAM, it is not CSAM, therefore we don’t have to take it seriously or regulate it in similar ways that we do regulate actual CSAM, if I continue your logic, no?

I believe that at a certain point, “agency” is an emergent feature. That means that, while all the single bits are well understood probability-wise, the total picture is still more than that.

It makes sense to me to accept that if it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it is a duck, for a lot (but not all) of important purposes.

I disagree. This is no meaningful talking point. It doesn’t help anyone in practice. Sure, it clears legal questions of responsibility (and I’m not even sure about that one in the future), but apart from that, making an artificial distinction between a human and a looks-and-acts-like-human, provides no real-world value.

Probably even if the data is incomplete or fragmented, humans can still draw value from it.

Bullshit.

It should instead read:

“Humans were stupid and taught a ChatBot how to cheat and lie.”

there’s an exception to the rule

Yeah well then. Classroom evolution by selection for superstition at its finest.

just the tips though

Thanks, this was a very good insight. No matter how good the person, if they are under pressure, they are still going to make the wrong decisions. This is why we should stay away from them as much as possible.

Wait, aren’t humans dinosaurs as well as we derive somehow from lizards? Do lizards count as dinosaurs? Sorry if I get that confused.

That’s, while a noble idea, unfortunately impossible.

There’s simply too many languages. In india alone there is a ton of native languages, which have like maybe a thousand speakers each. Like, every village has their language, which often differs quite strongly from neighbouring villages. Same is true in many places in africa.

You kind of have to restrict yourself to certain languages which you actually intend to use. Otherwise it’s just unmanageable.

Yep. Just that lots of republicans aren’t being genuine. A lot of them are being christo-fascist, and they want to bend everyone to their will.
