Have you interviewed any of the people interfacing with the AI directly? It seems most of the interviews are from the families of those affected.

For the love of all that is good, read the actual original sources. Don't take anyone's interpretation at face value. Separate opinion from statements of fact. Look for words with negative or positive connotations, it reveals the author's agenda.

We live in a post-truth society. If you get news from only one perspective, you're being deceived. It's critical to observe and contrast all different media perspectives. Easy to fall into a filter bubble filled with a particular flavor of propaganda.

Problems piling up in the domain of psychotechnology and sociotechnology. Most people don't even know it exists

I also think they spite-canceled the green new deal which may contain wind projects in it

I believe he just cancelled the offshore ones, I guess they may not be cost effective without subsidies. Has he canceled non-offshore ones as well?

EVERYONE is susceptible regardless of political affiliation. the only cure is critical thought and research

people's ability to reason has been absolutely trounced by social media algorithms

I regret my user seconds on social media almost every day

Thanks for adding some specificity to the discussion! I personally think Qualia has a circular definition. I feel the problem with defining consciousness is we have layers and layers of imprecise terms, with no rigorous foundation. Decomposition of concepts can help solve that

We need a list of internal criteria a thing can use to determine if it's conscious.

Determine which humans are AGI 😂

Does anyone have any rigorous definitions of AGI or, dare I ask, consciousness?

Who's working on AI ethics?

I predict ample grass touching in our future

yo what's up with everyone running scripts to follow like 47000 people?

Didn't mean it as an insult lol. You post meaningful things is what I'm saying :p

Everyone is slightly more unhinged here but @derringerpax.bsky.social @speakerjohnash.bsky.social @jimrutt.bsky.social @malcolmocean.com @protopian.bsky.social @jambarree.bsky.social

we need to collectively rehabilitate misinformed people through social pressure and exposure therapy. if we exile them it just lets them seek echo chambers and fester

extremely spicy take: if you see something you don't like on the internet, it should be your responsibility to block it (automated tools are fine). someone else deciding what you should see is making to radical polarization worse. we need to not give up on our fellow humans.

part of maturing is building theory-of-mind of your parents

always gives me the smoothest buzz. but I do only drink like once a quarter so..

[trendy meme term] my [unexpected dadaist misinterpretation]

what do you typically drink? i find i only get the 2 day anxiety from hoppy beers and gin. tequila, vodka and non-hopped beers are fine for me

are we sure they were walking about Bluesky?

we need a group that everyone wants to get into that has ingroup cultural memes that promote nuance and depolarization i.e. ingroup anti-memetic memes

8 sounds like a good number! 👋
