> I've done that evaluation with LLMs and they're definitely not conscious.

This is an important point to just make it a side comment like that. Tell us how we can evaluate if something is conscious.

You can always trick investors. For example all the overpromising Musk has done over the years. Also when you are that famous you can sell lower quality goods for a higher price that people will buy because they are associated to you.

But there is a distinction we can make between flowers and wasps. If there is no distinction we can make between Schwartz and non-Schwartz, then we are susceptible to the sample problem with or without AI. And if there is a distinction then we can use that distinction to test Bob, and make him learn from his test failures.

That's all good if you assume people can't be tricked (tricked into paying more, tricked into buying something they don't want, tricked into working harder). The tricked person ends up with less and Elon ends up with more.

Well if that gets us LinkedIn, we should move as far away from that as possible, and not listen to the people who want real names everywhere.

No, it's important. People are allowed to discourage each other from buying a product that they consider subpar.

Not conservative (there's nothing traditional about this) or liberal, just surveillance authoritarianism.

This is as useful as doing physics with spherical cows.

The whole point is that mandating websites to require age verification is more authoritarian than people are pretending it is.

>Or if they're still a kid, they can have their privileges temporarily revoked.

Since people are already talking about using the law instead of parenting this needs clarification. Are the parents the one that would revoke their privileges or the government?

kmijyiyxfbklao — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 17:18:33 +0000

It's purposefully undefined because it's a social concept, not an engineering one. And it's also subjective. You can tell because they use OpenClaw as an example of a tasteful project. I would put OpenClaw in the same category as memecoins in terms of taste. Obviously crypto can be way more harmful, but in terms of taste both are on the "internet meme" category, as helpful as OpenClaw can be.

I don't think it counts as counter-signaling if can call him out.

> 4. Myth: Immigrants will replace the population.

> Reality: Newcomers quickly adopt the habits of their new country. Within one generation, immigrant birth rates drop to match everyone else’s.

That doesn't address the "myth". You can keep bringing more migrants and eventually replace the population.

Good. Being OK with authoritarianism because they are on your side is never good.

I'm OK with you re-editing the movie as you watch it, but you can't say you watched the same movie as other people that don't do that.

Yeah, I think that's why I don't find this superinteresting. It's more a viral social media thing, than an AI thing.

Since there are no humans involved, it's more like growing a tree. Sure it's good to know how trees grow, but not knowing about cells didn't stop thousands of years of agriculture.

If it's "Who is worse Google or LLMs?", I think I'll say Google is worse. The biggest issue I see with LLMs is needing to pay a subscription to tech companies to be able to use them.
