Do not suffer the alien to be cold

This is the result of having too many "nothing to hide" idiots.

They are all meaning to say "not my problem", but all they're doing is create problems for themselves and their kids. They only notice, as always with privacy, when it's entirely too late.

In the video you can hear them yelling "Hey! Release the kid!" and stuff like that. They also call the police "murderers" for protecting the child against the thrown stuff, so I don't really take them seriously.

I haven't found any statement from the father, or someone adjacent to them, so I don't know what they have to say about this. Maybe someone can find something.

Source is the police, here is the Link to the news ticker

Here's the relevant part as a screenshot:

Gegen 18 Uhr wurden Einsatzkräfte auf einen Jungen aufmerksam, der zuvor offenbar ohne Begleitung an der Versammlung teilgenommen hatte. Aufgrund der noch andauernden polizeilichen Maßnahmen im Nachgang der Versammlung wurde der Elfjährige zu seinem eigenen Schutz in Obhut genommen. Sein Vater wurde benachrichtigt, der ihn circa 90 Minuten später abholte.

Translated by me:

At about 6:00 PM officers noticed a boy attending the event clearly unsupervised. Because of police activity after the event the 11-year-old was taken into police protection. His father was notified and he took the boy with him after 90 minutes.

According to the police the kid was being chased and secured for his own safety because he was unsupervised at the event. He was returned to the father.

Why don't you use emacs? You can replace Linux with it and use it to start vim!

They are welcome to do both. Immediately stop selling and after a X number of days allow refunds at the publishers expense.

To be fair, that was likely some first level support reacting to you trying something that is not supposed to work, as in not supported (playing on Linux).

How the strategy pans out after those talks we will see.

Remote for the vinyl player, obviously

Yeah, I see how this looks. I was trying to comment about how for some people an AI (as in LLM) seems like a real person (or something different, but sentient), so I was reducing the category "AI" to LLMs.

AI is also, as you said, used for ie pathfinding algorithms in games. I never liked the word "AI" for that. But I came to terms with it as the AI got more sophisticated and rounded, making the figurines in games appear more natural in their behaviour. Also I don't have a better word for it.

I used AGI because that is the only subpath of AI that I can consider having a chance of being/becoming sentient. That's why I went into that direction, to oppose LLMs, despite LLMs being perceived by some as being sentient.

So yeah, the categorization was a bit off to drive home a point. I didn't realize you wanted to discuss semantics (I know this sounds sarcastic, but I also tend to correct people on semantics if I can, therefore I don't intend to be sarcastic.)

Why do you disagree with that? No, that's a stupid question. How do you disagree with that? Can you elaborate your point?

Complexity for one. A cramped foot has an influence on the brain, as does apparently the gut bacteria. Focusing on the brain is a starting point and we don't even understand that that well.

If someone perfectly simulated your entire brain, would that digital brain be sentient?

I don't know. It could be. For now I don't think so. Are you comparing that to an LLM? That would be like comparing the paths of snail slime to a comic. One could compare story lines and art styles to something that just isn't there. And never will be.

What is sentience?

Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations (wiki). A word not based on a clear understanding, but rather an attempt to categorize. Nonetheless, an LLM doesn't experience anything. It uses pattern recognition and human provided categorization to try and create different stuff. All in the confines of the recognitions.

I think it's strange to say that AI will never be sentient.

It's why it's important to distinguish between "AI" and "LLM". AI, as an AGI, is something we might be able to build one day. LLMs might be a step on the way to this. But not the way they are now.
