I'm a software developer, a father, a husband, a wheelchair user, a photographer and general fiddler with things.

You can find my blog at https://www.angrybeanie.com where you can find more of my photographs, podcasts I've created and intermittent blogs
Well Canberra the twenty minutes total that I've spent in you today was nice, but driving two and a half hours each way to look at a wheelchair van that turned out to be too short for my power chair was not great.

The answer is no, no we do not.

LLMs are not sentient, they are not alive and they are not aware.

Do we owe a duty of welfare to our microwave ovens?
Do people have welfare responsibilities toward AI? Anthropic now argue that models might have morally relevant preferences or experiences, “interests.” Such systems lack free will and consciousness, why would such considerations be relevant?https://www.anthropic.com/research/deprecation-commitments

Trying my hand at another AngryBeanie logo.

I am not good at this, but maybe I'll get better?

Also I'm sorry but I couldn't do the Alt text for these images, my brain is having trouble describing them enough to differentiate them.
