Anarchism

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

  1. Be respectful
  2. Don't be a nazi
  3. Argue about the point and not the person
  4. This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

How would you react to the idea that some AI entity may wish to be declared as something more, can it be declared something more at all, and where does the border lie?

I'm wildly unqualified to talk about this, but it seems fine to me? I don't see any in-principle reason a real AI wouldn't exist someday, although AFAIK we're very far from it currently. If/when it does exist, it will probably suffer under capitalism like the rest of us, assuming we're still doing that shit. I'd be more than willing to have solidarity with them.

If something seems very sentient and you have no way to tell otherwise, to me the most ethical thing to do is just assume that it is and treat it as such. The thing about the large language models/etc is that, while they can potentially be pretty convincing at saying what a sentient being might say, they never DO any of the things a sentient being would do. They don't seem to show any intrinsic motivation to do anything at all. So nothing we're currently calling "AI" seems very sentient to me?

I was really under the impression from the movie and recent reading than any media coverage of LLMs
