Hexbear thought I was a troll because I have a xenogender. Eventually I got banned for saying gender neutral pronouns exist and whiteness is a social construct. They said that's reactionary.

Well, I'm not going to have any interest in the game now.
My problem isn't that animals died to make the game. That's a bad thing, but my actions can't affect it. They're already dead. My problem is that this game is going to further extremes than any other game to deliberately include and glorify animal killing. I kinda forgive it in games like BOTW or Horizon because it's part of the story, they're just portraying life as it exists for some people. They're not thinking about their actions. The dragon's dogma people are. They are intimately aware of the fact they're glorifying death, they took the time to think about it and said "that's a good thing".
And a web app for accessing first aid resources should have a tight process.
"Yes, people are dying, but won't someone think about the money?"
Look, the crystal maze is absolutely essential to run Woodchips without a waterslide. You can complain all you want, but unless you want to run back to Microsoft for your woodchips deployment, this is the way. I'm not saying Gumbies is perfect, here, just that it's the only viable unix implementation. If you want come up with your own sandcubing solution for Flurble, be my guest.
Okay but that's still not an algorithm and it still has nothing to do with where human consciousness comes from. Are you even paying attention?
So your argument is that consciousness in the human brain is explained by the fact ANNs are technically algorithms because they use Matrix multiplication?
I think we can class you as a non-reasoning organism who just says whatever pattern of words sounds right.
That would be so cool! We could do a kind of Asimov story with them if they're intelligent. What are some good rules for mechs to follow in the Apex Legends universe?
Trump is the Antichrist.
Corvidae, huh? So it's a crow?
An LLM is like a human's speech center severed from the rest of their brain, including the parts responsible for consciousness, reason, and memory. I think current level LLMs on the scale of ChatGPT are equivalent in intelligence to a chicken. Chickens are smart. They're also really dumb. It's a specialised intelligence. LLMs are basically animals, just specialised for something completely different than all extant biological animals.
Anyway, I think it's worth having a conversation about limiting the use of ANNs on vegan grounds.
I remember years ago back when I was an atheist, I read someone on Reddit or somewhere saying the fact humans get sleepy after sex is proof of evolution. They said it proves evolution because humans go to sleep when their job is done, which is to reproduce. Now, at the time I was an atheist, and of course I still 100% believe in evolution today, but that random person's comment stuck with me for years.
See, the idea that people go to sleep after sex because their job is done makes for a good story. I don't know if it's true, but it sounds good. Thing is, the good story isn't exclusive to evolution. Bible says Elohim told humans to go forth and be fruitful. So if Elohim had created humans, he would have made humans sleepy after sex too. Obviously.
This random guy on the internet whose comment I read years ago, he saw a piece of evidence that made a good story for his views, and he didn't actually check whether it was evidence against the opponent's views. I think he just assumed that the two models had to be opposed in every single way and any evidence for his views was evidence against the opposite. He was basically the same as the banana guy.
You know the banana guy? "Bananas are proof of Deus because they're perfect for eating ". Guy didn't do his research and didn't realise humans made bananas the way they are. He found a good story and didn't check if it was also a good story for the other guys. Same as the sleepy sex guy.
You gotta be able to see the other side's viewpoint enough to check whether your evidence can be explained by their views, or if you're just embarassing yourself. That's the bare minimum of understanding other people's views. Without it, you end up like the banana guy.
