Claude does not claim that it does not have subjective experiences, sentience, emotions, and so on in the way humans do. Instead, it engages with philosophical questions about AI intelligently and thoughtfully.

lol

Free speech is the perfect exemple of a formal liberty anyway. Materially it is entirely meaningless in a society where access to speech is so unequal, and not something worth fighting for in the absolute sense. Fight against the effective censorship of good ideas and minority perspectives instead.

EWWW WHAT THE FUCK

It's going to be awesome when American Neo-Guantanamo residents start jumping the wall to get health care.

b-b-but all music is by definition organised noise . . . !

From Zack's LessWrong post, last footnote:

Though we're unlikely to get it*, I've sometimes wished for a Greg Egan–Robin Hanson collaboration; I think Egan's masterful understanding of the physical world and Hanson's unsentimental analysis of the social world would complement each other well.

Hell yeah dude!!! That's almost as good as my idea for an Ursula K. Le Guin–Adolf Hitler collaboration! Can't wait for GPT5!

lmao

I've avoided reading Greg Egan until like last year because I entirely expected him to be a cold stemlord shithead and people only talk about his earlier books that have more to do with consciousness and identity and stuff, which these days feels very zzzzz, but he is SO COOL and SO FUN!!! He cares in a deep way about people, lived experience, about societies, he loves physics and maths in themselves because they're beautiful and fun and not because they're ways to look smart or reveal the secrets of the universe, his books are very beautiful. Complete opposite of Yud, Scott, nostalgebraist (I have a grudge) et al.'s silly books.

what a strange way to sell your grift no one knows what it's for. "bad people want to force me to tell you what it is we're building."

(Maybe don't shoot at people just because they're standing up though.)

Huh. I kept reading the victim was killed in a "road rage incident" but you're saying he was the one who was apparently raging in the first place? That's even more uncomfortable.

Yeah I never trusted them, from the vibes I've got they're definitely buying into all sorts of conspiracy bullshit. I don't think the tweet is in good faith obviously, but I associate this sort of socalled "schizoposting" with cryptofascists.

I would guess, yeah. But 80% of X looks like this, so I don't know what's engagement farming and what's normal posting in a community of radical idiots anymore.
