By the same logic, you could prove that we are not sentient.
Engineers need to stop trying to do the job of philosophers. LLMs are not sentient, but that tells us nothing about what gives rise to sentience or whether silicon is a substrate that could host a sentient consciousness.
I majored in Philosophy. Though I wouldn’t want to be an AI ethics consultant for one of these big companies because I imagine that whatever I write down would have to preserve profits (first and foremost) and then gaslight everyone into thinking it’s all perfectly ethical and okay and no one (including mother earth) is being harmed in the process.
You don’t need an ethicist if you don’t have ethics! /s
I just wish we could put this dumb sentient AI stuff to bed for now. Congrats, you guys built the most powerful (and wasteful) auto-complete. It’s not sentient and your marketing doesn’t have to be hyperbolic lies.
I just found out I’m scum on lemmy woot! Who knew people didn’t like certain instances, are some better than others? Like do you get better info faster? Or is this pure sarcasm?
It was absolutely a thing right when the 3P app reddit fiasco happened. Everybody was scrambling, and I’m not surprised that there were tons more options even just a month later, but at the time everyone else was completely overloaded. I tried signing up for as many instances as I could find, and lemmy.world was the only one that wasn’t shitting the bed with new registrations.

I’m still not convinced most people I speak to at work are sentient.
They are probably sentient. Now sapience… is another issue altogether.

For the record, at least one Nobel Prize winner disagrees about LLM sentience

Can you build a human from goats in AOE2?
An average human? No. A lemmy.world user? Yes.

Are we discriminating against instances now? Is this a thing?
Sweetie, that was a thing before your instance existed.
Yeah, fuck those idiots for joining when it was the only instance accepting new members
Haha, I’m still trying to decide if the upvotes and downvotes here are going after the sarcasm or the dumb literal take. Snort
I have no knowledge of this drama or hard feelings for your instance in either direction.
But was that ever a thing? I joined a month after you and there where options plenty.

Exactly!
