@secretsloth totally. we're constantly assuming that our brains are just slightly more complicated versions of the most advanced machines we've created up to that point and we're always wrong because there is so much we don't understand at all
@ana yeah, and I'm all for learning and studying and science, but it is also okay to not 100% understand things. There is wonder in mysteries and there is something really amazing in having a connection with an animal friend even though we don't share a spoken language, we still communicate, we understand each other in a way. Sigh. I guess the technocrats with boundary issues probably wouldn't understand that.

@secretsloth no they do not

and how will you recognize this "AGI" when you invent it, hmm?
"it will instantly realize the correctness of all my opinions and arguments and then congratulate me for being so smart"
oh, ok
@ana unless you're Sam Altman. His definition is the more gauche "it's AGI if it makes me a shitload of money"

@ana regardless, if/when they get anywhere near it there there will be tens of thousands of onlyfans girls out of a job.
So it could be argued it's impact will be felt equally. :)) -

@ana IMO they go about it all wrong. They should start HRT. Be your own girl of your dreams, I say.

"intelligence" is the scientific measure of how much someone else agrees with my opinions
@ana This.

@ana these fools. LLM can describe entire worlds filled with people who like me.

@ana Makes sense. Some people have such inflated egos that disagreeing with them is basically considered a crime.

@ana@starlite.rodeo Well... Um, Richard Dawkins found it... Man. I really wish I didn't have "those conversations" any more. Ah well.

@ana
…and then a transbian will come and trans your AGI. -

@ana at which point all the tech bros will realize none of them agree on what AGI is and the cage fight will finally happen?
@secretsloth @ana Mummy said no...

@ana which, as we know, is physically impossible

@ana AGI = "a girl interested". 🤭

@ana I was thinking about why techbros online treat other people like NPCs but believe the chatbot is sentient. Is it just the sycophancy? "I am smart so if someone agrees with me then they're also smart"
