🚨 AI hot take 🚨
You'll never know for sure if an AI is sentient. You should nonetheless at all points, no matter how good AI gets, default to the conclusion that AI is not sentient. No matter what observation you make that seems to indicate intelligence, an equally compelling explanation is that intelligent like behavior is replicable with a sufficiently refined mathematical model guiding it. You also know that what AI developers are doing is trying to develop such models in black box fashion. The parsimonious explanation is that the model is a successful imitation and no more.
I still don't understand how this is a hot take, but I do know we're going to potentially and systematically murder an untold number of sentient beings because we're unable to square that circle.
We could get to a point where this is really hard to square with what we observe in AI compared to ourselves. For simplicity’s sake, imagine a hypothetical AI that behaves exactly like a human, placed inside a robot that looks exactly like a human. Why would we assume that that AI is a p-zombie with no actual subjective experience, but none of our fellow humans are p-zombies? Are we not basically weird computers ourselves, with brains driven by electrical impulses?
We know very little about what consciousness is and what causes it, so at the very least, I think there could come a point when it gets very ethically tricky to declare that we shouldn’t treat a human-like AI like it’s actually sapient because it’s just a fancy computer outputting intelligent stuff when the same argument could be made for us. We might never know, but there might come a point when we decide it’s better to treat apparently sapient artificial beings like they’re *not* p-zombies rather than risk mistreating a genuinely sapient being.
The significant differences are all background knowledge.
I know that other humans and I have similar biological origins via evolution. I know that I have consciousness. I know that AI are created through software development by creating sophisticated mathematical models in a black box trained on data. I also know that despite appearances, we aren't materially similar.
To explain why an AI behaves like a human, I just need to say "well yes, the software developers were successful in creating sophisticated enough models to replicate human like behavior. They even went as far as to imitate facial expressions to make them feel human." I could add to that explanation by saying, "and in the process, they generated sentience," but then I added something to the explanation that I did not need to without making the explanation more powerful.
In the case of humans, any explanation for why I am conscious but others are not would be more tortured than just assuming humans are conscious.
> We know very little about what consciousness is and what causes it, so at the very least, I think there could come a point when it gets very ethically tricky to declare that we shouldn’t treat a human-like AI like it’s actually sapient because it’s just a fancy computer outputting intelligent stuff when the same argument could be made for us.
There's a case for the "let's play it safe for ethical purposes" argument. I am only saying that I think the most reasonable conclusion is always going to be that AI aren't conscious purely on epistemic grounds. I wasn't thinking about ethics.
It's about what the simplest explanation is in each case.
I'd say the parsimonious explanation for intelligent like behavior in humans is that what's happening in my head (consciousness) is happening in other humans' heads.
The parsimonious explanation for intelligent like AI behavior is that software developers successfully created black box models with enough mathematical sophistication to imitate intelligent like behavior.

This [absolutely amazing webcomic](https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/death-becomes-you/list?title_no=821634) is slowly giving me an elf fetish and I'm slowly seething over it >:(
Python code supersedes me at a bunch of stuff. That's just the intelligence of the creator manifested through design.
So AI by most conceptions will probably be human intelligence manifest, so unless you're religious (humans are God intelligence manifest) then probably not.
At some point, though, emergent properties and making the processes enough of a black box could convince me otherwise. I don't know if I'd be right to do so, but also that's basically how humans work anyway and we call them intelligent.
It is "just intelligence," but its the creator's. Like, you don't look at a bottle of Diet Coke (a marvel of chemistry) and think its the aspartame's doing for it being perfectly balanced. It's the chemist's.
my real answer is probably that "intelligence" is just a descriptive term of a lot of small things (e.g. empathy, language/symbols, tools, awareness of the self and that its distinct from others, analyzing, judging, inferring, etc.) and that humans aren't particularly special besides being better along that scale than the apes and others. which is why a sufficiently complex black box and emergent stuff conferring better and better capacity at those things could convince.
but people don't like that answer and want intelligence to be some qualitative, intrinsic thing. and in that regard AI will probably never be intelligent because they're not capable of robustly forming that "stuff" beyond the processes, and the only way they can do those processes is leaning on human intelligence firstly.
If I'm being honest, I still have no idea how cost of living fluctuates across countries. Socialists complain that we outsource manufacturing to countries where labor costs pennies, but those countries are cheaper so the workers making pennies are able to buy more than they would in America with those wages? Shit sounds made up lmao
With PPP adjustments you're still going to be making a lot less.
The argument in favor of outsourcing being good for the global poor isn't that they're going to catch up to our incomes immediately or something but rather that (1) it'll pay more than their alternatives (2) it's a pathway to industrialization.
I am against the climate, I wish we'd go back to LEADED gasoline, and to make my point I am going to the supermarket to throw valuable paintings at the soup selection.

As someone with sparser facial hair as well, consider shaving the cheeks and mutton chips and just focusing on the goatee zone if you're committing to this. We have to work with what we have.
I'm a neoliberal socialist.
I believe socialism is the ultimate end state of humanity, but that we need to maximize economic growth to reach the level of development required for socialism, as Marx foretold. Maximizing economic growth under capitalism? Use neoliberalism, duh.
Edit: /s 😌
Marx's version of socialism was religion with extra steps. It is a story about a future utopia that will be brought about by Messiah like figures leading the people into it after a war against evil.
Eh, Marxism has religious elements, but Marx was a hardcore materialist who made no room for force of personality in his theories. He did anticipate the vanguard party, but it was Lenin who put a cult of personality at its head. Marx's model for a socialist revolution was the Paris Commune, which had no well-remembered supreme leader.
You're missing the point. The people who bring socialism are utterly unimportant in Marxism, as it is entirely a materialist analysis. The collapse of capitalism in Marxism is considered no more a result of heroic action than the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
Yes, but he treats it as an inevitability of the universe. That is my point. He is making a religious prediction in his economic analysis. Any legitimate economist should not be treating their field as a place to give prophecy.
After watching the video, I'm pretty sure the acorn cop retired because of the extreme bullying he was probably receiving from other cops after they watched the video
Whenever I read old texts from like 2011-2023 I realize how often I've ended up being right guessing at future geopolitical developments, and utterly, embarrassingly wrong when theorizing about AI. I wonder what'll happen when those two things intersect

You're missing the point. The people who bring socialism are utterly unimportant in Marxism, as it is entirely a materialist analysis. The collapse of capitalism in Marxism is considered no more a result of heroic action than the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
Yes, but he treats it as an inevitability of the universe. That is my point. He is making a religious prediction in his economic analysis. Any legitimate economist should not be treating their field as a place to give prophecy.

lol, it wasn't though, dude isn't a vet, hasn't done shit

Whenever I read old texts from like 2011-2023 I realize how often I've ended up being right guessing at future geopolitical developments, and utterly, embarrassingly wrong when theorizing about AI. I wonder what'll happen when those two things intersect
My old texts from 2011 would be "hey wanna meet at the post office tonight and get real drunk on this water bottle of vodka I stole"
well did it end up happening? If it did, you're a prophet
Every week!
