       @rl_dane @lispi314 @emilygorcenski not really. bosses have always used divide and conquer tactics against workers. it's not an original thought.

       @crashglasshouses @emilygorcenski @rl_dane The promotion of racism and xenophobia by capitalists is no accident either, for much the same reasons.

       @rl_dane @lispi314 @emilygorcenski that's also an artifact of manufactured generational warfare. younger people are taught that older peoples' knowledge is worthless because it's old. that's not a natural occurance, in a world where honouring ancestors has been the norm for previous millenia. bad interface designs that become the norm are a result of capitalism, not of anyone's age.

       @crashglasshouses @emilygorcenski @rl_dane It's extremely funny to me, because I tend to view much of computer science like the STCs of wh40k's Techpriests (https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Standard_Template_Construct_(STC)).The knowledge was found, documented and designed with long-ago and it is most likely still perfectly suitable for purpose even half a century later. You don't even need to invent anything, you just need to find what was already invented. In a lot of cases, the whitepapers and systems of the past already have better answers than what you'd come up with without dedicating similar amounts of time to the question as they did back then.The majority of the security problems we have with operating systems nowadays were already known about and fixed in 1970. That "half a century" figure I used isn't hyperbole.

       @maddiefuzz @clacke @drwho The real question is does it really matter if living things appear to be intelligent, or if they actually are?

       @collappsar I'd say it has huge moral significance. You can turn off an automaton whenever you like, but a consciousness has rights.@drwho @maddiefuzz

       @clacke @drwho @maddiefuzz Why not give an automaton rights?

       @collappsar @drwho @maddiefuzz @clacke figuring out if AI is sentient is a waste until I can figure out if you are sentient

       @maddiefuzz @clacke @drwho I knew a former Bundeswehr Armour officer that did a lot of simulation consultancy work as a 2nd career, and he described AI in exactly the same way. He said it can seem clever, but actually is equally capable of being stupid to the point of hilarity. It's all in how you understand it. This was back in the 90s.
