Wire cutters? Seriously though, it will be a struggle to defeat if it is random.

I think "landed gentry" was the term you were looking for.

Yes right, it's one option. I think those made the best corpus of voters imaginable, i can't see any extreme party gaining any visibility with those people being in charge - neither woke nor MAGA. Most importantly these should be economically independent people because without economic independence there's no independence of thought.

It's great when gorillas fight each other instead of people you might care about. I hope this distracts them.

"Pain" is a poor word to use in this context. Pain is what you feel when you stub your toe. AI does not experience that.

I think the question relates to various ideas of mental distress. You might get better answers asking if AI feels rejection, loss, embarrassment etc. Personally I still think the answer is no.

Not to mention that language models don't experience ANYTHING.

Anyone can get a better explanation from Gemini directly if you ask it "can you explain how don't experience anything?"

"You might get better answers asking if AI feels rejection, loss, embarrassment etc."

In what sense would its answers constitute evidence of the actual state of things?

What do you think it is conscious and the answers are just deceptive?

We really need a national campaign on phenomenology 101.

Gemini outputs this correctly. It doesn't "experience" the passage of time.

The models don't experience the passage of time because they are not finite beings in the world.

They are a like a new category of the book. We don't say the math textbook "knows" math because the book doesn't "know" anything. The book isn't bored sitting on the shelf because no one is reading it.

Sorry, I meant "If AIs can feel x, what is our responsibilty" where x isn't pain.

As I say, I think the answer is still no to any of it.

Yes, takes me back.

I think the answer may be yes. And I don't think a water filter will help.

I don't think people want to go there anyway do they?

Not worth having now.

As a developer I've been through 10 different languages and about the same number of operating systems, and I barely managed to remember any of them, even at the time. And I assume soon using natural language as the main interface will become commonplace, which will finally let me off the hook.

I will give this a go, but I doubt any of it will stick!

Shell quotes is the last frontier LLM's seem to keep getting wrong. Esp when it's Github CI yaml which needs to ssh somewhere and run command running another command there. Needs AGI apparrently.

That and giving me GNU awk/grep/sed shit when I specifically asked for macOS/BSD.
