    “AI” is not the new NFT because “AI” doesn’t even exist. It’s a far bigger and far worse grift. Sure, some dummies wasted their money on jpgs of monkeys. But nobody used NFTs to murder palestinian kids, spy on society, steal our data, outlaw regulation, etc. No amount of shitty generated code will redeem that. Ofc this delusional myopic article has nothing to say about this.

    “AI” is a far worse grift than NFTs.



















  • Libs/capitalists regularly conflate violence with expropriation. For example protests are often called violent based on “property damage” even if no people are injured. Similarly from this perspective it’s violence to put tape on car, etc. and it’s threatening violence to promote this online. I’m not saying this is a good ideology but it’s popular on reddit.








  • understanding how LLMs work, but we know how brains work and that still gives us almost 0 insight into how consciousness itself works.

    That’s not a counter-argument. The fact that we know exactly how LLMs work is great evidence that it’s not the same as something that works completely different and is only partially understood.

    This of me is a huge indicator of consciousness/sentience.

    Cool story. As someone who understands how LLMS work, it’s not an indicator of anything for me.
