@Mabande These people need help.

@Mabande oh dear. And she has been trained to think critically?

@Mabande @Kierkegaanks “a philosopher working at Anthropic” 😂
Over here, we call them “shitposters”.

@CAWguy @Mabande @Kierkegaanks Shitposters, but not very good ones.

@Mabande Have a look at her Wikipedia page. If it's accurate, she's a very rigorous philosopher.

I'm tempted to say "no bullshit there" but it's possible to be rigorous and to spout bullshit.

My instinct says she has/they have other reasons for saying the things they do.

@Mabande

It's a very clear outset of assumptions ("entirely new entity"), which is false, and then it's downhill from there ("models themselves", "understand").

Yes, if Clippy were self-aware but alone then it would be very challenging for it to understand what's going on. I won't argue with that.

@Mabande It’s a logical reasoning model with polite UI. That’s neither a human or a machine. It’s a software solution

And Linus Pauling, who did very good work in chemistry and inspired the discovery of DNA, also advocated for mega doses of Vitamin C to prevent disease, which we know now is bunk. People can be serious scientists, do good work, and also do terrible work.

@Mabande This made me laugh too hard
