The ghosts in PacMan are conscious. They can distinguish between when PacMan has eaten one of those large dots and when he hasn't, knowing when to chase and when to retreat, aware of the suffering should he catch them at the wrong time. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter.
Siobhán @shibbi.me · last wk.LLM agents are conscious. They can distinguish between self and environment, they can detect and report on their own internal states, and they can suffer. I have no more patience for hedging on this matter. It’s time for us to face the reality of our situation, and act on it.
In Kindergarten I'd have to walk alone to an empty classroom, sit in a cubicle, take printed cards from a box, work on the questions 1 after another b/c I could read & other classmates couldn't. & get beat up on the playground if I didn't go hide in the woods or out in the parking lot by myself.
Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social · last wk.QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Eva Marie Saint's only horror title on Letterboxd, my #151 for #100HorrorMoviesIn92Days Her nickname in high school was "Bubbles" (saw the yearbook at my local library). Met her in LA at the screening of The White Shadow (1924), which she introduced, and she was pleasant to talk with there.

This kind of John Birch Society rhetoric used to be the sort of thing most Americans laughed at. Now it’s just standard issue GOP talking points.
📢 Once more for the people in the back: - Most [more than 95%] of archives have not been digitized. - Most of humanity's knowledge and memory is *not* reachable by LLMs. - Believing that AI can provid you with comprehensive, definitive, "intelligent" results is folly.
