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

Literally just mainlining marketing material straight into whatever’s left of their rotting brains.

Has chatgpt solved any of these yet? Wouldn’t that be a sign it is actually “thinking?”

That involves new ideas and not just probability-guided regurgitation of data, so no.

No amount of chanting "meat computers" or citations of Blade Runner change that.

I'm not saying LLMs can't contribute to solutions with sufficient nudging and guidance from other means, but no, I don't see them on their own solving unsolved problems just by having sufficient totally-non-supersititious belief in the imminent spontaneous rise of the Singularity(tm).
