When ideological purity is more important than listening to both sides and making a reasoned judgement, the battle is already lost.

Sometimes I wonder if we’ve spent too much time as a society wondering if computers can be people

Yeah wondering where humanity begins and computers end is an interesting thought but people think that ChatGPT knows them. That thing is not a person by like any measurement we know of. It doesn’t have opinions. It regurgitates statistically likely word salad and scrapes answers wholesale from Reddit.

Questions about the potential personhood of machines feel kinda stupid now? Like these large language models clearly aren’t people. And to a certain extent, why would you want to make a computer that’s a person with feelings and personal opinions? You’ve made something and trapped it inside of a computer at the whims of programmers. Why? Why do that to something? Even if it was possible. It doesn’t fully seem like it is yet.

We don't even TREAT ACTUAL PEOPLE AS PEOPLE. WHY WOULD WE MAKE ANOTHER FORM OF LIFE TO OPRESS???

"Here's our description of ourselves. Er. You said we could leave out shameful things?"

"Thank you," the alien envoy said. "We have asked many groups of humans, so…. Huh."

"What?"

"Other groups of humans hid atrocities they've committed. You included yours. But you've left out reproduction?"

Today we will talk about Bible Verses About Hatred. Hatred can creep into our hearts, leading us away from the love and compassion that God

It's painful to watch "Christians" on here get too comfortable with sowing division and attacking acceptable targets.

Less magic schools. More magic universities. Unlearn the simplified models of your secondary education. Discover how to reference scrolls written by a wizard possessed by a different wizard. Identify bias in the voices that whisper from beyond the veil. Have your institution be accused of promoting a Merlinist agenda. Become addicted to energy potions.

Go to rehab for mana potion addiction. Cast fireball in the rehab center, it’s fine they have insurance. Be forced to listen to people casting Biggsby’s Fisting hand through parchment-thin walls. Get stuck with horrible 9am classes with the worst professors

Evil wizard tasteful pin-up magazine but it's all photos of like, skinny old goths coyly fingering cursed amulets, long-bearded sorcerers doing the 'oopsie' pose as their corrosive destruction spell destroys enough of their own robes to show some skin, naked desiccated lich king positioning his staff of human skulls just so it leaves something to the imagination, dark knights in full armor just holding their soul-eating blades out in front of their codpieces, orc chieftain who did not understand the assignment and is posing with a monster he killed like one of those guys-with-fish photos. Or maybe he DID understand the assignment. Hmm.
