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

    First off, materialism doesn’t fucking mean having to literally quantify the human soul in order for it to be valid, what the fuck are you talking about friend

    Ok, so you are religious, just new-age religion instead of abrahamic.

    Yes, materialism and your faith are not compatible. Assuming the existence of a soul, with no material basis, is faith.

        If you start with the assumption that humans have a soul, and reject the notion that machines are the same for that reason then yea what is there to discuss?

        I can’t disprove your faith. That’s what faith is.

        How would you respond to someone that thought humanoid robots had souls, but meat-based intelligence didn’t? If they assumed the first, and had zero metric for how you would ever prove the second, then theyd be giving you an impossible task.

        There’s a point to a discussion when both sides agree on a rubric from determining fact from fiction (i.e. rooting it in empiricism) but there’s no point when someone is dug in on their belief with zero method for ever changing it.

        If someone could point to any actual observable difference, I will adapt my beliefs to the evidence. The reverse isn’t possible, because you are starting with religious assumptions, and have don’ know the difference between ideas with no rooting in physical reality and actual statements about material conditions.

              Again, your leftist LARPing is transparent. You’re a bourgeoisie-style tech cultist throwing the word “materialism” around to boost your own techno-woo that you derived from science fiction.

              Read the fucking article, you Dunning-Kruger poster child.

              https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1922/mar/12.htm

              Are you going to continue flitting around this thread a few dozen more times, dodging each and every person who refutes your techbro fantasies of LLMs being actual “AI” by any academic definition and also dodging actual computer science educated people saying that your belief system is fucking wrong and has no academic backing, all while proselytizing for the robot god of the future like the most euphoric Redditor of all time?

              You’re a clown but your stamina is impressive. Juggle some more billionaire hype pitches. Faster. 🤡

              Also, because you keep rolling your techbro unicycle around while juggling those hype pitches, I’ll repeat myself again:

              LLMs are not “AI.”

              “AI” is a marketing hype label that you have outright swallowed, shat out over a field of credulity, fertilized that field with that corporate hype shit, planted hype seeds, waited for those hype seeds to sprout and blossom, reaped those hype grains, ground those hype grains into hype flour, made a hype cake, baked that hype cake, put candles on it to celebrate the anniversary of ChatGPT’s release, ate the entire cake, licked the tray clean, got an upset stomach from that, then stumbled over, squatted down, and shat it out again to write your most recent reply.

              Nothing you are saying has any standing with actual relevant academia. You have bought into the hype to a comical degree and your techbro clown circus is redundant, if impressively long. How long are you going to juggle billionaire sales pitches and consider them actual respectable computer science?

              How many times are you going to outright ignore links I’ve already posted over and over again stating that your position is derived from marketing and has no viable place in actual academia?

              Also, your contrarian jerkoff contempt for humanity (and living beings in general) doesn’t make you particularly logical or beyond emotional bias.

              Also, take those leftist jargon words out of your mouth, especially “materialism;” you’re parroting billionaire fever dreams and takes likely without the riches to back you up, effectively making you a temporarily-embarrassed bourgeoisie-style bootlicker without an actual understanding of the Marxist definition of the word.

              I’ll keep reposting this link until you or your favorite LLM treat printer digests it for you enough for you to understand.
