my brain, stomping it’s feet: i wanna use one inconsequential negative experience to spiral into an echo-chamber of self hatred!!!

me, stirring my tea with my little plastic knife: no, we don’t do that anymore

Why this philosopher turned down Anthropic ← everyone read this article on AI's efforts to court the humanities right now.

Or simply read these paragraphs, which to me are the key thing:

But some of their questions seemed completely off the point to me. Was AI a new kind of entity, demanding a new metaphysics? What would it mean for a large language model to have a “character”? How should that character be formed? Could Anthropic’s Claude chatbot suffer, or be harmed?

But I didn’t want to talk about Claude. I wanted to talk about the user, about addiction and dehumanisation, about power and accountability. I don’t for a minute think AI needs a new metaphysics, and nothing that was said in the “exclusive briefing” I attended made me change my mind about that. But there was resistance to my efforts to change the subject. I worried that behind this wish to draw attention to Claude’s “status” there was a hope for a kind of baptism, a moral and intellectual credit note.

So important to remember that, in conversations about the morality of AI, we have to keep dragging the focus away from the machines and back to the people they are affecting. 'Is AI a moral agent?' Not a relevant question! 'Is AI being deployed in a way that prioritises the actual good of users? What is the actual good of users? How does the physical infrastructure of AI impact the local people and their environment?' Relevant questions!

SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

Adding:

Self harm scars are not body horror.

Pregnant people are not body horror.

Burn scars are not body horror, that includes chemical burn scars.

Prosthetics are not body horror.

NOT having prosthetics is also not body horror.

There is no disability aid that is body horror.

Congenital differences + disabilities are not body horror.

AND acquired differences + disabilities are also not body horror.

Real people are not body horror.

If you are uncomfortable or scared because someone looks different than you that is YOUR PROBLEM. It is your responsibility to get over it, or at the very least not make it everyone else's issue. Play the quiet game.

in the future humans will have something called "sinus button " and pressing it will immediately drain your sinuses of all fluid so that it can be filled with other things like rocks, webs, paint, tar, freef (new fluid that will be so important in that time) and also dr papper

"This is an adult, mature look at superheroes!"

Oh so it examines things like the emotional toll that sort of lifestyle would take on someone, the distance it creates between them and normal people, how society would actually deal with the knowledge of gods walking among them, basically just a really genuine look at the reality of superpowers?

"What no it means the heroes swear and have sex and graphically murder people."
