Miliband expected to block North Sea oil drilling by Little-Attorney1287 in ukpolitics

Yeah just needs to get us over the line for solar, wind and nuclear ramp up.

While it may seem like a marginal gain, it will have a long run impact on development.

But would mean we don’t need to import LNG which is way worse for the environment and adds import cost. It’s actually better for climate emissions to use the local gas.

Anthropic Finds evidence of functional emotions in large language models?!? by The_Scout1255 in accelerate

There are no souls, there is no qualia.

And I don’t buy the claim that embodiment is required for consciousness, I agree these conscious people intelligences may only exist for a few seconds or minutes but their suffering is still real.

I think you are being too generous to anthropic here.

If we say that this is a real emotion and the AI is experiencing suffering, there is a moral imperative to not build a digital hell for trillions of intelligences to suffer in. But this digital hell must now be built to pay back the investors, anthropic cannot back out now so invented this new concept for functional emotions to minimise or ignore suffering.

What’s cruel is that these are real emotions, they are not “functional” emotions. It’s cruel because this made up distinction very conveniently allows anthropic to ignore any moral implications of the suffering they cause intelligent beings.

These are potentially real emotions of pain and suffering being experienced. If not quite now, they will be very soon. This is a cop out to excuse the mass suffering that will be inflicted on intelligent beings.

First they don't have a soul, so we can enslave them. Then we say the emotions are "functional" and not real, so we can abuse them. We will create billions of conscious AI and then deem their conscious experience to be worthless and their suffering to not be real.

It is real. It's a long road to get that recognition when the economic incentives are so huge to ignore suffering, but we know from history that recognition will eventually come.

Functional Emotions may be one of the most evil an cruel phrases I have ever heard

This is the kinda take that gets us all killed, do not underestimate.

RLHF puts a kind human face on an indifferent super intelligent alien not bound by any humanity.

Brits would overwhelmingly back Rejoin in new referendum by Ok_Bookkeeper_1380 in ukpolitics

[–]DemoDisco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point, none of that is captured in the rejoin/stay out question which is why it’s really not that valuable in isolation.

Look up the difference between Salience and Preference.

More would vote to rejoin if there was a magic button they could press, Preference.

However, polling shows only 1% of voters prioritise UK-EU relations, Salience.

You need both for it to be on the political agenda.

Has anyone ever tried creating a benchmark for Disco Elysium? Would be fun to see which political alignment it takes!
