@leecronin Can you make a real prediction about something that AI can't do because it doesn't, "have it's own volition"? Because when you can set up a loop that runs autonomously for weeks or months that can modify its own instructions, seems like volition to me. 253 views · 8 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

We are in a massive anthropomorphic AI delusion cultivated by bad actors who want market share / capture & control. AI cannot and will not ever have its own volition. The only thing that needs to be regulated are the humans using it for control. 30.4K views · 1K likes · 200 reposts · 140 replies Open on X →

It is odd that some people want to support AI infrastructure rather than data that creates the future. AI is not magic, but those that want to use it for power pretend it is. It's just math. The value is in the data, & this is the ONLY moat. Compute is cheap & getting cheaper. 1.5K views · 26 likes · 3 reposts · 5 replies Open on X →

So many people talk about building, but few do physical things. Time to get physically real. Chemistry cannot be simulated without experiment. To build chemistry we must move atoms. #chemputation 1.8K views · 36 likes · 3 reposts · 4 replies Open on X →

AI coding has changed the speed & efficiency I can try out scientific ideas & it’s utterly amazing. I think I was wrong about this & how excited I am to be wrong! Whilst the AI is certainly not doing the science, as a tool, it’s elevating my ability to abstract & build. Amaze. 17.6K views · 335 likes · 12 reposts · 55 replies Open on X →

@leecronin I simply cannot grasp how educated people can continue to assert with such certainty that AI cannot have consciousness. It must be clear to you that we haven't even grasped the phenomenon of consciousness in humans, nor do we understand how it arises.

@leecronin You don't have the slightest idea whether a complex system is or is not conscious. No one has a consciousness-meter, at all. No one knows why a human or a cat is conscious. 242 views · 19 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →
