A couple of days ago I did a jetlagged live posting on bsky about the terrible op-ed in the Guardian about "AI" consciousness. Not going to port it bit by bit over here, but someone used skywriter to put it all in one place. For your enjoyment, some ridicule as praxis: https://skywriter.blue/@emilymbender.bsky.social/3mqzj7xzqfc2i

@emilymbender@dair-community.social another thanks for writing this. It helps me to better understand the methods they use to obscure the facts.

@emilymbender@dair-community.social I disagree with you on some fine print (see my previous note on Turing), but you are a friggin' saint. And not just an ordinary friggin' saint. Anyone who can read through the current AI BS and deal with it is in the highest eschelon of friggin' saints. A friend sent me a video of Dario and someone else talking about AI, and it was the stupidest most inane sci-fi addled insanity I'd ever heard. And that was clear from the first 10 seconds. Whatever. Hang in there. And thanks.

@emilymbender@dair-community.social Ridicule is not strong enough. I’m left wondering if the author is conscious. Well done
