Fuck AI

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Dawkins points out how the goalposts have been moved from the Turing test without justification and claims it can be viewed as a test of consciousness.

Reminder that Dawkins is in the Epstein files

[–] StopTech@lemmy.today 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I haven't found him in correspondence with Epstein, but Epstein did write "im in arizona with pinker dawkins venter". It seems most mentions of Dawkins are by Dawkins' and Epstein's mutual friend, atheist physicist Lawrence Krauss or Epstein's friend, new age leader Deepak Chopra.

Could be confused with Noam Chomsky but Dawkins appears up in the emails, probably with code names half the time: https://jmail.world/search?q=Dawkins

So is Jon Stewart. Your point?

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You think that absolves either of them?

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So are a ton of people tho. That's kinda the point - the muddy water and whatnot

[–] technocrit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Yes, there are many people in the Epstien class.

But I'm not in there. Are you? Why make wholesale excuses for these people?

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You seem misinformed and emotional (understandably) about the topic, tbh
