It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah, and until it can be identified, saying that a LLM treat printer is surely approaching sentience is pure marketing hype.

yea it's like saying my hard drive is sentient

Look at the jagoff in this thread running victory laps against positions none of us are taking, like

Ignoring that because your gut tells you humans are special, and always beat the machines in the movies just means you will be blindsided when Tesla fights unioning workers with these bots.

@[email protected] is the most exceptionally sycophantic bootlicker I've seen in these parts in a loooooong time.

I don't even think humans are fundamentally special, I think all life is special

surely they can see that being able to y'know, have an actual will is an important quality, right?

All I see is "silicon intelligence is nigh, denying the treat printers being intelligent means you're superstitious and believe that artifical intelligence is impossible AND you believe humans can defeat machines with the power of friendship, which of course makes you a stupid meat computer barbarian unlike my logical rational self" takes from that utter and total jagoff

In short, I think that euphoric Redditor thinks no life is special, you know, like some Warhammer 40k LARPer.

squashing the will with subservience to capital is, after all, the point
