@davep @signalapp If they handed over verification code and pin then they would have to be seriously daft.

@stagerabbit @ahltorp @davep @signalapp ok i withdraw my remark as I didn't see the dialog. If it said "verify pin" someone might have done that without thinking
Replying to
@stagerabbit @ahltorp @davep @signalapp ok maybe, but banks are saying all the time not to give out pin even to bank staff.

@theleftistlawyer@mastodon.social If I introduce myself as Claudius, or Claudia (to pick topical examples), am I not implying my pronouns? Perhaps there should be a Claudas too.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I used to be in the EU, and I am much nearer to it than you are. And I do actually care about democracy.

@PaulNickson@mastodon.social @druid@toot.wales Well, as long as you've thought it through. 🤔

@EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I don't agree. And you are unelected. Bring back democracy to the #EU !

There are plenty of subjects being discussed, thankfully, not just one. Also, I got a better summary of what Dawkins said from an AI than I did from any journalist or anyone on Mastodon.

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social @gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io The second statement there was made in a chat with Claude, so I wouldn't take that as a final position. It's also self contradictory as knowing you are consciousness is a prerequisite for consciousness. Neither of the other statements state that Claude is conscious. They aren't statements, they are questions.

Replying to
@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Perhaps you should have led by asking me if I vote. The rest of it was a waste of time. I am not going to stop expressing my views on social media just because you are going on and on at me, characterising what I said as shouting and screaming. It was a counter-productive ploy on your part.

@mattsheffield@mastodon.social @gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io It wasn't research, it was an opinion piece. And I didn't say I thought it was research. And he does know about computer science.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social The concept of "yelling" on mastodon is very strange. What you are doing is more like yelling than what I did.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu I think criticizing government is perfectly acceptable in a democracy. It's what the press do all the time.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu "perfectionist hypercriticism" ? all I said was that the commissioners are unelected. That's true. They should be elected directly, because they write laws. Why can't I express this simple view? What is social media for anyway? All I see on here is people making unsupported statements, and then going mad at anyone who disagrees.

@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu So just to clarify then, Trump got elected because someone said 'bring back democracy' on mastodon? That's some power isn't it?
Replying to
@gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @mattsheffield@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io I don't think it is Richard Dawkins being neuro diverse, I think it is the majority missing the point, not really addressing the concepts involved. Dawkins didn't actually conclude #ai is #conscious as the headlines say, it's more like he was saying you cannot tell the difference. What is the definition of #consciousness anyway? nobody knows.
Replying to
@benroyce@mastodon.social @phl@mastodon.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu Even though you are berating me at great length, I sympathize with your suffering.
Replying to
@leo@twit.social I was just listening to #intelligentmachines and you mentioned the various hurdles to get into twit.social, and I thought, that's odd, why do I need to get in? I am already on the network, I can reply anywhere, can't I? I guess this proves it, if it works.
Replying to
@mattsheffield@mastodon.social @gusseting@mastodon.social @toxi@mastodon.thi.ng @JulianOliver@mastodon.social @crowgirl@hachyderm.io if I said "I feel I am being watched" what does that mean? Does it mean I know I am being watched? Dawkins clearly knows they are not human, he is just describing a feeling. He is not the type to reach conclusions based on feeling. Small children don't know the word 'conscious'.
