I believe experiential consciousness is fundamental to reality so sure, LLMs are conscious. As are traffic jams, thunderstorms, grains of sand, electrons, any system of interacting quantum fields, etc.

It's amazing! It also doesn't mean we grieve for every spreadsheet cell with a formula error 🤷🏼‍♂️

AUTHORS!!

Remember that case where a bunch of authors sued AI for stealing their work? And WON?

Well, the settlement money has been announced. Each WORK that got thefted will be compensated $3k (split 50/50 bw publisher + author). So authors will be compensated $1500 per WORK stolen.

I remember reading about how identity papers in some places include ethnic group or religion and thinking "huh the only reason to do that would be to make it easier to discriminate" and then realizing the same thing applies to gender markers.

the Nazis literally tried to discover Atlantis because they thought Atlanteans were aryans and would prove German racial superiority

Fascism has always been anti-intellectual and full of pseudoscience
That Trump and Trumpism are fascist doesn’t explain the sheer vandalism of unleashing mass murdering mayhem via RFK to replace medical/scientific institutions of immense value and prestige with medieval peasant superstitions. That is a criminal madness facilitated by but above and beyond fascism.

Weirdly in my experience the people actually "going against the mob" tend not to complain so much about losing friends over it? More the MO of those who feel entitled to validation for their unchallenged assumptions

Everything about this story is horrific:

1. The student never mentions Jews
2. The university is going to expel a student for criticizing a country over genocide
3. A Republican congressman is taking credit and implying the student is a Muslim terrorist
4. The U.S. Justice Department is involved
The DOJ says it will investigate a US citizen for saying “fuck Isr**l” to a guy in an IDF shirt.

Absolutely the most anti-free speech admin of my lifetime. Probably since the Red Scare, if not earlier.
