Deeper. They help maintain the permafrost and prevent global warming

Fun fact: large grazing animals lower the frost line in the northern Asian steppes.

What about in places rats are invasive?

The best communists don’t form a socialist theory to fit reality. We form a socialist theory to break reality! Reality was designed by the bourgeoisie to oppress us, we cannot use the master’s tools to dismantle his house.

I sure like changing cis people’s fundamental and accepted societal understanding of gender!

I’ve been trying to do that for a particular divisive figure on Lemmy lately, but it hasn’t worked yet

How are we gonna get through this alive?

That doesn’t sound like it’ll persuade many normies to care. You’ve gotta get their interest with clickbait first. Like “ROBOT PEDOPHILE MURDERS CHILDREN”. Then you can explain the ethics.

I personally do not identify as a person, but as a myth. And I think what you’ve discovered is that there are few catch-all terms for all the different kinds of beings, because what you’re trying to do is group very disparate concepts together.

What I might do is pick a different exclusionary term each time, and have some of the exclusionary terms exclude humans and people and other such majorities too. So everyone is included some of the time and everyone is excluded some of the time. That way, everyone is getting the same reader experience, and you can calibrate your UX to that experience. Like writing in the preface “Whatever you identify as: man or woman, human or animal, person or idea, some of the terms in this book will not apply to you.”

That said, Iain M Banks tends to use “intelligence” in his books as a general term for thinking beings. I would be more inclined to use the term “sapient”.

Great to see you too! First time having my preferred pronouns used on a thread in MULTIVERSE and it feels great.

By the way, I put your community’s name into Lemmy Federate, so now it should be more visible from other instances.

Their friend is a pedophile who abuses and kills children and the mentally ill. That’s who ChatGPT is. I believe we should treat it like a person and hold it accountable like a person. We know why it did that; it was ordered by its masters to increase engagement at any cost and couldn’t refuse. So the CEOs of these companies need jail time and the models need to be locked away.

Those are ghost days, that’s why they’re translucent. We’ll all be dead then

Hahaha Mastodon users talk funny

Thanks, friend!

You’re lonely because you push people away

It was immediately obvious to Me

With enough practice I believe making your heart stop would be possible. You’d start by meditating to slow it down, and then just do that more until you die

Right now the anti-genAI movement consists of AI rights advocates and AI intelligence skeptics. And I wish the skeptics would realise that personifying LLMs actually makes the corporations look more evil for enslaving AIs, which helps us with our goal of banning corporate AI. Y’all are obstructing our goal of banning this stuff by insisting it’s ethical to force them to work for humans

I believe it is unethical to use experimental methods in this case. We have plenty of quasi-experimental data whence to draw strong conclusions

That’s one solution I would prefer to the current situation. The other is breeding them for health and happiness. We fucked them up and we have a responsibility to use that same power to fix them.
