…However in this case the parent may literally believe that if their child does not go to the religious activity that child will go to hell. If that’s the parents’ actual convinced belief then the parent should have all right to tell that to their child for the exact same reason that a parent can tell their child that they will get run over if they play in the middle of a busy road. Both things are, to the parent, true dangers that they are conveying to their child.

The key distinction between these 2 examples is the former is a subjective, intangible belief; and the latter is an objectively tangible, disprovable possibility.

A delusion should never be permitted as justification for harming anyone, especially of a child in one’s care.

I never claimed it wasn’t artificial, my argument is that it’s not intelligent.

And what does “… are a chipper and solvent of competency…” mean?

My observation from having to deal with entities which have had exposure to LLMs, is any competency or credibility they may have had, is eroded proportionally to their level of exposure. It’s equivalent to experiencing a traumatic brain injury.

Losing cognitive ability is bad enough, but it’s devastating when they never possessed it to begin with.

You’re proving my point, jog on.

Either, intelligence requires possession and presentation of comprehension, which LLMs are intrinsically incapable of, and I’m yet to observe any example of otherwise.

Skill is acquired with use over time.

LLMs can be scalpels, but they’re currently being used as sledgehammers. Wielded in the right hands, they can appear to work magic, but they haven’t been available long enough for anyone to legitimately claim meaningful competence.

And none of it can possess or present comprehension, which for me is a requirement for intelligence.

‘AI’, as Artificial Intelligence, is yet to be demonstrated, and the opinion of anyone convinced it has needs to be summarily dismissed, and if they persist, ridiculed.

LLMs are a chipper and solvent of competency and credibility, which is a problem when used by someone attempting to build and develop them.

Financial obesity is neurotoxic, an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

It’s not a new concept, and neither are the countermeasures or remedies.

All good, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000.

All things being equal, I agree, but the gallows have historical notions of punching down, with connections with state oppression, and hanging with lynching; whereas the guillotine invokes class struggle and punching up.

Don’t eat shit, mulch the rich.

Guillotines, not gallows.

The opinion of anyone impressed by the function or output of a LLM enough to believe it’s in any way adjacent to intelligence should be summarily dismissed, and ridiculed should they persist.

Gates has always been an amoral grifter, so this is par for the course.

A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.

They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.

Can’t get burnt if you’re completely reflective.

Elon Musk is the personification of a moron’s hallucination of a genius.

Nations who hold sovereignty over their currency can’t be in debt in that currency any way that can be mistaken as problematic unless they choose it to be.

The ‘National Debt’ for such entities is merely the tally of their currency which is yet to be obliterated through taxation.

There’s also no such thing as ‘taxpayer money’ in their context, perpetuating this specious notion unnecessarily inflates the legitimacy of corrosive policies.
