Can you prove that ChatGPT is not conscious? No. The hard problem of consciousness cuts both ways. Right now there is no way to know one way or the other.

You, when you step in dog shit: “Oh no!!! I’m sorry, Mr. Conscious Poop, who is conscious because I can’t prove that you aren’t!”

RPM? Like how fast you can spin?

Fuck yeah I’m a finnish DF genius

Science: “our current understanding of genetics leads us to believe IQ is not heritable”.

This fucking guy: “IQ is heritable and you just haven’t proved it yet. Citation: I belong to a race with good genetics, unlike you”

Second, is the more common “IQ isn’t intelligence” trick. Sure, the measure doesn’t encompass everything that is making intelligence, but it is still a somewhat interesting proxy as there is a high correlation between intelligence and IQ.

Any time you see something like this, what it’s really saying is:

IQ is intelligence to me and nothing you say can dissuade me. I just have a high enough IQ to write a disclaimer for plausible deniability.

/jk: I’m dopamine fasting. That way I can enjoy genAI music in the inevitable future

I’ve stopped listening to music because I realised it made me dissociate too easily. If I were getting back into it all, I’d probably start by playing this on repeat.

Janelle was gracious enough to put her on Pynk as well!

MFs looked at SBF and thought, yeah, more of that thanks.

Who do we have to bribe to just have a pitfall trap in place of whatever it is they’re trying to build?

My best attempt to follow this advice produces: people who can get pregnant. Works for me!

ah, yes, I forgot to put in a second footnote about my neighbour Brian. We’d call the cops but it turns out he’s the local sheriff.

For me, it’s the complete non-mention of uterus-owning people*, as if they are just a means to the end.

*I couldn’t come up with a gender-inclusive term for this that didn’t make me sound like a monster so apologies

The article image is defs AI generated, and the giveaway is of course *drumroll* the fucking hands

also the caption feels wrong. guy on the right looks nothing like musk, it was probably thiel in the prompt.

double check that your rubbers didn’t get punctured.

Extra wrinkly*, for your partner’s pleasure

I didn’t say: “X mod has gone alt-right! This must be a conspiracy! The moon isn’t real!”

I said: “I guess this mod has gone alt-right?”

Seeing and mentioning changes is worth mentioning, even if those changes are unrelated. That’s just… basic observation.

Of course, if you want to conspiratorially cast aspersions on everything I’m saying, that’s fine. I am going to disengage starting… now.

Throwing in that comment about Son_of_Sophroniscus was pretty out there!

It seemed relevant to the discussion to look at the moderator list in case there was any information. In this case, the information seemed to be a dead end, which is why I didn’t try to speculate beyond a statement of fact.

But instead we’ve got that, people talking about a “weird/bad vibe”, reading tea leaves all over the shop…

People are allowed to comment on the vibe. I think it is completely fair to express frustration at the reopening for the reasons stated in other parts of this thread.

But even in just your own case, it seems like the opposite of not jumping to conclusions to throw in references to old mods going alt right that bear absolutely zero relationship to any of the handful of posts on the “resurrected” sub

I can’t believe I have to explain this very ordinary attempt of trying to see what’s going on:

1. the status quo changes (r/sneerclub comes back online)
2. I look for answers (in this case, I ask here for information, and look around the subreddit for information)
3. I resist the urge to jump to the easy/obvious answer, and share what little information I had here

Then, as you pointed out in your other comments, it was the obvious answer, which I will happily accept as there is proof.

Yo dawg, slow your roll. Yes, that is the easy explanation. I just wanted more information before jumping to any conclusions. Not all of us (read: I) were deeply familiar with the moderator dynamics nor had a reason to be.

Again either way I’ve made my choice to be here, so to me, it doesn’t really matter what’s going on beyond my own curiosity.

:/

I am not much of a Reddit muckraker. I checked out the posts from the mods I didn’t recognise. The longtime mod Son_of_Sophroniscus appears to now be alt-right? Other than that, I still can’t make heads or tails of any of it.

Twice the sneer, double the… club?

If someone is talking in parables it’s a red flag for me dawg.
