Humans made a machine print a result based on analytical models and a specific set of inputs created by academics on paper.

We’ve been doing that for years. What a shock we keep doing it.

The machine isn’t telling us squat except that after adding/subtracting in this way we found this value. Even if those models are vetted by academics, academia is a politically manipulated shit hole. Nothing to do with ML is anything close to objective consciousness, decoupled from human ideas.

Humans can still blow up the machine and the political system that pushes such things on them.

When we can’t even tell if we’re guessing right or just close enough to trigger emotional familiarity to get a reaction out of someone who thinks the machine runs on magic, well... sorry y’all but absolutely none of this means anything except as confirmation bias to keep behaving as we are.

The only model we know of capable of creating a consciousness is the universe. All that energy/matter had to flow over eons, at a scale far beyond our conscious comprehension, to end up with us.

Thinking we are engineering anything close to consciousness is a conscious trick we’re buying into to justify working for big tech corp.
