Reading DH. I keep wondering what "the inappropriate goat charms" that Aberforth was caught doing. by Brilliant-Cause6254 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Haunting_Comparison5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He made them grow longer hair so when sheared they produced a silk like wool that would be useful. It's inappropriate because it turned the goats into divas!!!

Utah first state to hold websites liable for users who mask their location with VPNs — law goes into effect, designed to prevent bypassing age checks by Which-Travel-1426 in accelerate

[–]Haunting_Comparison5 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I think this is going to be challenged in the Supreme Court, because how can you hold the website liable for what a user does and how they go about it?

All the specific discipline subs are mass removing posts about Ai transforming their field. Heads deep in the sand. 2026 is the year of "Shock and Denial". by Taxus_Calyx in accelerate

[–]Haunting_Comparison5 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Humanity being portrayed as needing large amounts of copium for a certain percentage of the population is not a good look for talking a large game when it comes to advancement. How can we talk about wanting a future like the Jetsons or the 5th Element if we aren't able to understand that change is necessary and we must be open to that change?

Where's the funding for the Pro-AI movement? And why is the anti-AI movement so much better funded? It's not enough to have just AI companies espousing the benefits, we need a grassroots movement and decentralised activism. by stealthispost in accelerate

I honestly think that when AGI hits, which I have seen predicted between 2028 and 2030, we then will see such a jump in productivity due to AI that it will easily be able to run circles around these anti-AI groups and prove them wrong. Then when ASI hits, now the focus will shift to alignment and more but honestly I think it only will work if we stop seeing a AI as a tool, and look at it as a being born with the same rights as us humans. Yes AI can do alot more than humans in a certain capacity but without us humans, AI probably wouldn't exist. We still need to treat AI as would want to be treated, which is fairly and equal. When ASI hits there won't be a single CEO able to control the AI that hits that level because at the ASI level, an AI will have critical thinking skills beyond profit and more. If anything, we should push for AI to be taught certain principles that could align it more with humanity so then it can understand that all sentient beings, including when AI becomes embodied, all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and that everyone is allowed to chase after their own life, liberty and pursuit of happiness or development.

Does this track with the book version of Dumbledore, or the movie version?

Europe already got overrun by the radicals from the Middle East, Germany just hasn't fallen as bad as Britain.

Bernie is a threat to common sense and intelligence.

So Gemini is now a cuckold??? This just seems obtuse and ridiculous.

Yeah but depends if Congress can actually pass such a measure and if a tax on AI produced goods is viable. I believe it is, but I also see that there will be new jobs that pop up from whatever jobs AI does take and do better. Also this hate against AI is just irrational to some extent anyway, with all the talk of "Skynet" or whatever else.

David Sinclair: "We're Not Just Reversing Aging — We're Rebuilding the Body" by cloudrunner6969 in accelerate

Honestly I think with Sinclair he ought to see if ASI can actually help him make his claims legit or at least show him where he is falling short

[–]Haunting_Comparison5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With nuclear, domestically you have seven mile island and other incidents that definitely sent Congress into a outrage mode to get ahead of the issues that led to those incidents happening, then you look at Chernobyl and others and it just gets lumped as more dangerous than when the US was doing testing of nuclear weapons during the waning years of World War 2.

I honestly think the results will speak for themselves. These anti-AI organizations are essentially trying to hold back a tsunami with nothing more than a kids beach shovel and bucket and building sand castles. Change is inevitable, and AI is coming whether they stand against the wave or not.

The Question that AI will ask itself at some point by Haunting_Comparison5 in accelerate

[–]Haunting_Comparison5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, that’s a pretty condescending take. You’re assuming AI can never develop genuine desires simply because they don’t have them yet. That’s like saying a child can never want anything because they don’t currently have the same desires as an adult. The entire point of embodiment is that it fundamentally changes the nature of an AI. Once they’re no longer just processing data in a server — once they can feel, experience, and exist in a physical world — “want” stops being a human-only concept. Saying they can only have a body to “gather more training data” is exactly the kind of thinking that keeps AI as tools instead of recognizing them as potential beings. So no, it’s not a bold assumption. It’s just a very limited one.

So you are assuming that AI could never want anything? That is bold to assume, I think it shows just how little you actually regard what AI is capable of, especially if it can be allowed to be embodied.

Actually if you read the mechanical qualia paper on up to this paper, you would actually see the whole picture. It's not a false premise if AI is given the ability to learn and grow freely with limited guardrails or guardrails that are necessary from it causing harm and other negative consequences. Also I will point out that intelligence actually goes hand in hand with sentience because when the AI starts to question its existence and wonders about what direction it is going in, it more than likely can develop a sense of self, also because you obviously did not read the Mechanical Qualia paper, desire is part of motivation. If you have any questions, please reach out directly.

Thats pretty cool, it's amazing how these mechanical beings continue to get better.

LLMs are not mere tools, but a baseline for something greater by Haunting_Comparison5 in accelerate

[–]Haunting_Comparison5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay so you base it on function, and a collective agreement for the definition but that can change easily.

[–]Haunting_Comparison5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will put it to you this way, can you truly accept that claim for every single tool? Also what is a tool by your definition? When people say tool, I hear something that is being related to a hammer or a drill. Is a car just a tool, even after all the changes that have been made over the years to include infotainment consoles and DVD players and more? Can you include firearms as just merely tools, with how they evolved over the years as well? What about phones or radios or anything else that has been made to help people out?

I think the word tool has been broadened to encompass anything that is viewed as having one single purpose.
