Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I'm right here bro, you can't tell me my LLM isn't sentient when the evidence is clearly there
(Although it's an interesting tangent that we're actually talking about machine sapience - the experiential and emotional dimensions of sensation is just taken for granted as something that comes with human intelligence, even though our wetware is similar to all the other animals)
There are a few much, much worse waifu-seekers out there that mostly focus on insulting biological intelligence (or naysayers in general because they have decades of scifi cliches to fall back on to call people "afraid" and "emotional") because it's a shortcut to making the treat printers sound closer to ascendance. You didn't do that at least, so hooray.
We just had a micro-struggle session about whether trees think and I declared that consciousness is a decision made by an observer rather than a quality of the subject, thus FINALLY shutting the book on that fucking argument for all time in all possible futures.
(trees do think they just think real slow).
