I'm aware that I'm aligned with dickheads when I say this, but I do think we need to be careful about completely dismissing the idea that LLM AIs might be conscious and capable of suffering. All the arguments against it have been used equally to dismiss real suffering in the past.

Next on my reading list, along with ‘still in a dream’ 👍🏻

The Scottish Block Grant from Westminster in 2023 / 2024 was £43 Billion. On the same year Scotland’s GDP was £209 Billion.

Probably my fav The Fall album ❤️

#nowplaying The Fall - I am Kurious Oranj Really excited that the bulk of The Fall discography is - finally -now on Bandcamp. Great stuff as I refuse to use streaming and my (digital) Fall collection is patchy. Bandcamp link here: thefallmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-am-k...
