"indefinite suffering through simulated consciousness"
isnt that just being a wassie
I knew that the Anthropic S1 would have some goofy risk factors but this has to take the cake
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This post is satire.

My latest song/video is getting a lot of comments so let me explain a few things:
1 - The song was created from a hook I recorded as a hum; it guides the entire song; you hear that exact hook on repeat as the foundation of the entire song (even the bagpipes echo it).
2 - To generate the song itself it took 108 song generations in Suno; each one listened to, adjusted, modified and prompts tweaked to get it closer to the finish line.
3 - No specific artist was used to guide the style; the style was prompted as "Folk, Acoustic pop, folk-pop"
AI is incredible; creative people everywhere will produce amazing creative work with it, and we will be the lucky ones to be able to enjoy it. It's a wonderful tool; it empowers and unlocks tremendous creative potential. Having said that, the human has the steering wheel; if you defer to the AI for all creative output, it may produce greatness, but it is more likely to reverse to the mean, and averageness. It's no different from any other creative tool. Embrace it, use it, master it and compel it to create your vision.
a friend of mine died yesterday, and my last messages to him was me asking him for my money back
he borrowed money from me and hadn't returned it and so I kept asking.
we were friends for more than a decade. we used to speak about Star Trek episodes, cool places to visit in Japan, and weird new apps and tech stuff we made.
instead of those fun things, the last few months of my messages to him were just variations of "dude, where's my money" from me and "i'll have it by the end of the month" from him.
...
years ago i had a rule: never lend money to friends. loans ruin friendships.
i wish i kept to that rule tbh

Dessa, @jack's speech-to-speech voice model, but she's an NFT artist who created a "somatic platform on the blockchain
this gives me flashbacks of 2021 @inversebrah

Meet Dessa, our AI model trained from scratch on nothing but speech.
We believe speech is the natural interface for technology. So we built Dessa.
And we’re inviting AI safety researchers to explore Dessa.

i'm pretty sure the guy is not on Twitter so I can share here
about a week or two ago an older tech guy I've known for about 15 years came to me with a new business plan that he's thought thru over and over for the last three years. Looking at the plan it was obviously him and Claude and Codex doing it together, and most of it didn't actually make sense
It was full on cyberpsychosis, he built really detailed prototypes and even filed patents for stuff that came down to just regular prompt engineering
During a conversation I had with him, I managed to steer him away from the more crazy parts of his idea, and towards something more practical. I think.
This is going to keep happening by the way. the Singularity will eat both the normies and the founder types
wait this is really well written

I’ve tried to read and like every single nice response to my cat’s obituary, and this one just hits me very deep in the feels
