How it feels to go outside and smell sunscreen

[deadgenerations]

the reason people think LLMs are conscious is because they use natural language. we evolved to understand speech and to specifically understand speech as representative of the internal world of the speaker. the only creatures we spoke to were conscious. we evolved specifically to have greater empathy and kinship via conversation - the main way people come to understand each other and feel closer is still just talking.

all that has happened to dorkins is he has fallen into an evolutionary trap. the exact same trap that those tiktokers who believe their dog can talk to them by jumping on buttons have fallen into. because the buttons create a simulacrum of language, however crude, the listening brain itself constructs a simulacrum of the internal world of the perceived speaker. Because that is what it already evolved to do with the only available speakers in its evolutionary history!!!!!!

this seems like a confused post on a lot of levels - the Clever Hans effect, where animals are capable of reacting to unconscious cues that trick people into thinking they have command of language, is a very different situation from consciousness debates in LLMs. for one, we tend to think of animals as conscious, and two, LLMs have a great deal more facility with language than any of the animals triggering the Clever Hans effect.

LLMs are not passively reflecting or reacting to things they're presented with - they are capable of things like making novel mathematical discoveries. by most definitions for most of history, they are "intelligent" and capable of "thinking". the question of how this could be possible without consciousness is what is consuming Dawkins, and contrary to whatever people seem to be reacting to, he does not actually come down hard in favor of LLM consciousness and indeed suggests alternative explanations.

I understand that it's born of the need to work around people's tendency to read the unmarked figure as male, but it's still fun when porn of someone getting dicked down by an anonymous cock has the frame extend just high enough that you can see an anonymous boob poking in from the same direction, just to make 100% clear where things stand.

celestia is such a funny character like she's constantly manipulating twilight and friends to do shit instead of just asking and you could arguably frame that as being bc she's a "god" and pushing fate to her design or whatever, except that she engages with the group like a normal and relatable person, which makes it more like villainous machinations, except 90% of this manipulation goes towards things like "I don't want my party to be boring shit again. put my little country girl blorbos in there with zero prep so they fuck it up bad"

[animusbell]

you think you've fucked anything up around princess celestia and she's like heh. no worries. all according to keikaku

[jukashi]

Celestia instantly makes more sense as a character when you ignore the princess stuff and remember that she's a 1000+ years old wizard. Of course she does manipulative trickster stuff to teach moral lessons and/or cause chaos to amuse herself, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course sometimes she's actually socially awkward and bad at personal relationships and has bad ideas that she thought were good that result in her eating shit embarrassing style, that's classic wizard behavior. Of course she lets the aristocrats and nobles run around being assholes she's still running on wizard advisor programming, she's basically trying to merlin the entire upper class of equestria instead of just a king and some knights. "Yeah uuhhh we'll release the incarnation of chaos himself from his ancient prison because we think this shy girl can be friends with him", terrible plan if you're thinking like a ruler, amazing plan if you're thinking like a wizard. Just look at Canterlot 'Castle' for five seconds and ask yourself if that's in any way a castle. No. Wizard tower, yes. Wizard.

Yesterday I took MDMA with my friend again and I had a revelation. I have decided to become even more addicted to cartoon porn.

Mammals are Beasts

Mammaries are Breasts

The letter “R” therefore must have some hidden “lactatization” effect in grammar.

It's perfectly natural for autists to like trains because trains are like our older brothers, to whom we can look up. Trains are big and strong creatures; unstoppable and proud, but they are elegant and logical. Not human but like humanity they are higher than beasts. The train is like a stoic sword hero who does what must be done and whose will must be respected, for his course cannot be altered. A train is an adult man with asperger's who has a job. And he's faster than everybody. I could be like him some day.

i remember being in a daze stumbling around thinking with gutwrenching horror about the suffering of trillions of aliens outside the lightcone, impossible to help, about "ought" implies "can't". then i became normal and i don't think about that stuff anymore. someone on twitter said that because the big bang was highly symmetrical it was plausibly the physical substrate of an orgasmically pleasurable quale. but i don't think about that stuff because i'm normal. i'm vegan and i give 10% like a normal guy. to human charities not even shrimp ones. when i die turn my atoms into pleasuronium
