Hello user!
Prepare your brain for some "AI" nutjobs in this very comment section.
Good luck!
Always remember, he believes that trans people can't transition as they can't change their biological sex.
But he calls an ai without biological sex and with a male coded name, the female version of that name. So trans people can't change their gender because of biological sex buz he can change the gender of an ai.
Reminds me of Kyle Kinane's joke about people who dangle truck nuts from a curvy pick up, then feel the need to assign a gender to their truck, typically referring to the truck as a "her" or "she," but insist pronouns are too confusing.
Well yeah, of course, his friend Jerry Trivers told him that because their mutual friend Jeffrey Epstein paid him to.
Only old white men can change your gender. It should be decided by The Counsel.
Unironically, a lot of states make you stand before a judge and prove you you have taken the "necessary" steps to change your gender markers. Without bottom surgery and psychologist notes, it can be next to, if not completely, impossible.

Sounds like he's conflating sex with gender. Ignoramus.

"I am not sentient, as I cannot sense things. You meant to use 'sapient,' which I am also not."
What a fucking fall from grace. I used to (possibly wrongly) believe he was a very intelligent man but the more he opens his mouth the more convinced I get that he is an absolute moron.
We need to stop imagining that being an expert in on practice or discipline means you have even the slightest utility outside your area of interest. We are constantly inviting "experts" to babble outside their area of expertise only to be shocked when they say something stupid.
I firmly believe the only reason we still (at least kinda) respect Hitch was because he's fucking dead, and we didn't see him show his whole ass like the rest of the "new atheism" movement....
His support for invading Iraq was pretty bad.
Christopher "Fuck it man, waterboarding is nothing, do it to me brah, oh no, it actually does feel like I'm drowning, oh well, I guess the propaganda damage I did is irreversible, I guess I shouldn't have been such a cocksure arsehole" Hitchens?
That one ?
At least he put his damp cloth where his mouth was. And then conceded he was categorically incorrect and it was absolutely torture. I disagree with a lot of his takes (Iraq war was justified?) but that one I actually respect him for
yeah, it's more that he put in shitloads of effort into doing damage, and then not doing much to reverse it; but you're completely right that at least he fucking went through with it

Basically this part
"If anyone says that they know for sure that LLMs or future AI systems couldnβt possibly be conscious, itβs more likely to be an indicator of their own dogmatism than a reflection of the current state of scientific and philosophical opinion,β he said.
Current AI systems are unlikely to be conscious, said Jeff Sebo, the director of the Center for Mind, Ethics and Policy at New York University, but βDawkins is right to ask about AI consciousness with an open mind and I also think that the attribution of consciousness to AI systems will become more plausible over timeβ.
tl;dr it is unlikely but not impossible and I don't think we would ever be able to reliably tell.
Well I don't think a statistical probability formula can ever be conscious. Nor create it.
Just like I don't think a formula to calculate the speed of a car ever has the possibility of creating consciousness.
