Actually, you’re out of your depth, and I think you’ve been outed enough. We’re done, and I’m blocking.

No, I’m not gonna dox myself.

Reasoning for what? What details are you needing for clarification?

Studio Ghibli does not have exclusive rights to their style- whether it’s used by a person or an AI to inspire a new image. Those are derivative works. Totally legal. Arguably ethical. If it’s not a direct copy, how has the studio been harmed? What work of theirs was diminished?

I’m advocating for tools. How people use those tools is on them.

I’m not evangelizing. You incorrectly stated the limitations and development paths of the tech, and I corrected you.

Again with the religious verbiage from you. But I’m the one proselytizing?

It’s not nothing- it’s an impressive feat of technology that’s still in its infancy. It’s also not everything, and not anywhere close to a reasoning mind at this point. You are obsessive with extremes.

People have been presenting the work of others as their own for all of history. All that changed was a new tool was found to do that. But at least these are a form of derivative works, and not just putting their name directly on someone else’s carbon copy.

That it has to be nothing or everything with you, decision trees or God himself, is the likely foundation of your inability to have simple objective take on the existing technology and its capabilities. It’s giving bi-polar.

Now I’m not uninformed- I’m too informed!! LoL. That goalpost just shifted right across the field, and still you cannot admit to your ignorance.

No one told you to hand it over. A technology being able to do something does not require you to use it. And people misusing the technology to feign talent is a reflection of the people- not the tech.

I’m not talking about neural interfaces. I’m talking about organiod intelligence.

I am a computer scientist with lab experience in this. I’m not pulling this out of my ass. I’m drawing from direct experience in development.

And there’s the reveal!! That’s why it’s so personal for you! It’s a career threat. It all adds up now.

I call the brain “wetware” because there are companies already working with living neurons to be integrated into AI processing, and it’s an actual industry term.

That you so confidently declare machines will never be capable of processes we haven’t even been able to clearly define ourselves, paired with your almost religious fervor in opposition to its existence, really speaks to where you’re coming from on this. This isn’t coming from an academic perspective. This is clearly personal for you.

LoL. Am I less sentient for using a calculator?

You’re astoundingly confident in your own sentience, for someone who seems to struggle to form an original thought. It’s like the convo was lifted straight out of that I, Robot interrogation scene. You hold the machines to standards you can’t meet yourself.

Isn’t that the entire design philosophy of tailscale?: reduce friction, at the cost of some security.

If security is your main priority, you should be using more secure options, even if they are less convenient or tougher to maintain.

The denigration of simulated thought processes, paired with aggrandizing of wetware processing, is exactly my point. The same self-serving narcissism that’s colored so many biased & flawed arguments in biological philosophy putting humans on a pedestal above all other animals.

It’s also hysterical and ironic that you insist on your own level of higher thinking, as you regurgitate an argument so unoriginal that a bot could’ve easily written it. Just absolutely no self-awareness.

These are almost the exact same talking points we used to hear about ‘why would anyone need a home computer?’ Wild how some people can be so consistently short-sighted again and again and again.

What makes you think you’re capable of sentience, when your comments are all cliches and you’re incapable of personal growth or vision or foresight?

It’s built by animals, and it reflects them. That’s impressive on its own. Doesn’t need to be exaggerated.

That’s absolutely what it is. It’s a pattern on here. Any acknowledgment of humans being animals or less than superior gets hit with pushback.

Funny how triggering it is for some people when anyone acknowledges humans are just evolved primates doing the same pattern matching.

You assume humans do the opposite? We literally institutionalize humans who not follow set patterns.

Yeah, there have been various leaks over the years that trickle out. Supposedly they’ve banned companies from operating in the US for refusal to comply with backdoor demands (Hawei, Kaspersky), some reports of backdoors built right into both Intel & AMD processors, some vague stuff that’s come out about backdoors in Windows, etc. Even when the companies refuse to comply, there’s been reports of US intelligence going into factories or intercepting deliveries to install spy chips into hardware. I recall there was a local ISP provider somewhere in the mid-west that got shut down for refusing to install spy devices in their facilities.

Really a lot of this was confirmed as far back as Snowden. And plenty of whistleblowers and leaks since.

It’s funny, because it’s their government’s version of knockoff spyware, and decades out of date. Western governments get a live feed out of their backdoors.
