Obvious Anthropic reaping, Anthropic sowing scenario.

I think the investor cash needs to dry up. They’re not going to let doomsday technology be released to the market. Sorry.

"Democracy" is a hugely wide category some variant of it is likely the preferred system of governance. Regardless, it's a weasel category. Many would argue that China is democratically reflecting the will of their people.

In fact, Von Mises famously argued in his seminal work Liberalism that all systems are democratic because they require the will of the people or are overthrown. A little silly of a reductio in my opinion, but it's emblematic.

The "just vote" lot are the perfect pressure release valve for the failed system.

Out of control inflation? No healthcare? Endless war?

Just vote! You just have to vote for a democrat!

It's time to say no to these charlatans. If people lose hope in the system, that's when it can change.

Incorrect.

You can merely lie and spend money and get elected and then do the opposite. Rinse and repeat.

See: John Fetterman.

It doesn't work. It's fundamentally broken.

The problem runs deeper than the current administration. Voting doesn't work.

The Biden administration isn't the antidote to our problems.

This is all so amazing and good. These are exciting times we’re living in. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

We're on the cusp of it. Models JUST got good enough to be better than the average white collar worker at nearly everything.

This literally is a brand new phenomenon; it's only a matter of time.

I don't know about anyone else, but LLMs certainly significantly negatively impacted my life overall and contributed to a loss of hope in the future.

Just an FYI this guy is an AI hype-beast. Some of his tweets are truly out there.

I get over 10 scam calls a day. I'm forced to pay a company to block them because the free methods don't work. There's no way to work around it because they refuse to enforce the law on these companies cycling through burner numbers.

>The capabilities of models like Fable 5 and Mythos 5 have the potential to do profound good for the world

Huh? We've seen nothing but wall to wall predictions that these models are going to take all of our jobs and kill us.

What's the value add here?

Just an FYI that word doesn't have power anymore as it has been comically drug through the mud by murderous/genocidal freaks (freaks in the literal appearance sense too).

Just want to point out that code quality and architecture is actually eroded by codes 5.5. It’s over for this job I think.

There's no such thing as predicting the future when it comes to assets. Patterns aren't guarantors of future returns. If they were; the asset would be a sure-thing. Your confidence isn't warranted.

New comment by catigula in "Artificial intelligence is not conscious – Ted Chiang"

catigula — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 14:03:36 +0000

The knock-out argument that artificial intelligence isn't conscious to me is the following:

My dog has never persuaded me that he's conscious, or spoken at all. Yet, I recognize conscious experience in him. Similarly, I could write a character, Dumbledore, that passionately and convincingly argues that he's conscious. Similarly, I do not recognize conscious experience in that character, no matter how persuasive he is.

Clearly, verbal persuasiveness isn't tracking conscious experience, possibly at all.
