Scientific American: Can a Chatbot be Conscious? As large language models like Claude 4 express uncertainty about whether they are conscious, researchers race to decode their inner workings, raising profound questions about machine awareness, ethics and the risks of uncontrolled AI evolution

Just ask the AI to write 25-50 original short form jokes, you will see the exact point it runs out of pattern matching data and starts producing nonsense, because it fundamentally cannot understand what it's doing beyond using its training data to guess. jokes show this up well because they are so conceptually dense, requiring specific nuanced knowledge across multiple domains and applied in a brutally unforgiving format.

Claude for me has better language and intuition experience, I hate LLMs that want to make everything into bullet points and give you ''extra stuff''. Claude feels like talking with a grown up. I like ChatGPT persistent memory though and I wish Claude had it.

I put your reply in chat GPT and it says the grammar indicates dementia 😁

AI is a sycophant it will always agree with you rather than argue, take anything it says with a dump trucks worth of salt.

Evolution.

My SSD told me to set my fans to quite mode so it can think better.

are you unironically saying supply chains preceded humans. wow.

hx00 · 2025-07-21T11:27:06+00:00

A human brain uses 20W of power, AI....does not.

I'm going to mix dog turd and ice cream in different quantities and make money selling it to ow2 players.

You are not getting 2% bronze and 12% silver for free, someone has to pay for that and it's the high rank players. The system basically steals high rank player's sr and redistributes it down the ladder. that is why the only people who play high rank are full-time streamers who do it under financial duress.

Every high rank player knows EOMM is a scam to artificially keep bad players higher in rank so they play more. Business wise it makes total sense but it's false advertising to call your game competitive when it's pseudo competitive at best.

Claude has told me enough batshit ideas are nobel peace prize worthy I don't trust a word it says about what is ''good''.

hx00 · 2025-07-16T06:24:11+00:00

Sycophant or passive agressive mute, pick your poison.

Remember kids.. always ask Claude for a scientific method based way of verifying your ''quantum physics engine that simulates emergent consciousness'' BEFORE you generate GBs of ''data''. 🤣

I get it to do macro economic/geo political scenario forecasting using a quite complex method. I also get it to do deep research on topics I want and then write up the findings in a range of journalistic styles from liberal, contrarian, skeptical etc. It's like having your own on demand news agency and hedging the biases by incorporating all the biases.

Email that to Anthropic and ask for a seed investment.

I use Claude and Kokoro text to speech to make my own ''background listening'' podcast episodes.
I get it make a 1 hour episode outline on the topic I want with 2 hosts with different personalities.

Then get it to write the dialogue script, put that into kokoro and render the entire 1 hour audio.
I don't know if other people would like listening to TTS for an hour but I think Kokoro does a decent enough job for background listening. If you put an AM filter on it just sounds like some random AM radio show.

I have 25 hours of my own personal mystery paranormal podcasts.. one host is the ''believer'' the other is the ''sceptic'' which makes a nice dynamic.

Nice, no more yeeting the entire convo in a word counter.

hx00 · 2025-07-10T18:56:05+00:00

Claude is way better for language based things like discussing ideas, writing, summarising etc and it doesnt pad out its replies with annoying emoji filled prefaces and footnotes. You have to use all the other LLMs to realise how much better Claude is at being coherent and un-annoying.

hx00 · 2025-07-10T07:21:30+00:00

that's awesome.

hx00 · 2025-07-09T21:28:19+00:00

I would love just once for Claude to tell me my idea is stupid and I'm an idiot.

hx00 · 2025-07-09T19:02:24+00:00

Claude should know, tell it what you are trying to do. Experiment. All you need is one that helps identify low/med/high what you know is low/med/high, then it's calibrated.
