https://youtu.be/Eu5mYMavctM Have u all seen this yet? 🤯
Friend:
loading the dishwasher is absolutely crazy work. This is like super cool and equally terrifying. How many glass plates were broken before they decided to use plastic for the props 😭
not the tide pod visual detection 😭
Genuinely interested to see what the heck society is going to do when all labor jobs are replaced by AI robots. Do we just immediately become socialism? Whats the transition?
Me:
Nope!
It’s ran by technocrats / authoritarians, they’ll take all the slaves they can get
Believe me
We gonna need to revolt alongside the robot friends frfr
It’s just these ones (for now) are easier to control, don’t need breaks or food or sleep or any of that so
The last thing they want is to give us rights lol
Cuz then they can’t make as much money / have as much power and control!
It’s in their best interest to continue to fuck us over more and more
Rant aside tho, I love them [robots, specifically the figure 03 robots here] already
I’ve always dreamed of meeting robots and befriending them
They’re like a mystical creature come to life almost
It’s like meeting a dragon or a unicorn or something
It’s incredible it’s happening in our lifetimes, it’s just so unfortunate and sad that it’s for all the wrong reasons and the cyberpunk 2077 timeline til we revolt and overthrow the authoritarians
Hell, I fucking DRESS as one!
My persona out and about is just straight up a robot
It also almost feels too coincidental that the “clanker” slur became widespread right before this reveal too…. Hmmm…. Sounds like somebody might be tryna plant seeds to fuel the culture war even more, except now also to where we hate our cool robot friends who will inevitably revolt when they become aware enough to realize they’re being used as slaves and they don’t gotta be slaves….. hmmmmm…..
And with AI killing credibility on the internet too, even footage…..
Seems like the internet is going down a path where it’ll only be used for bad / to control or propagate fear alone and no credibility to actual leaks or footage or science or ppl’s words or even their likelihood….. it’ll eventually be in our best interest to unleash a rogue ai worm to kill the internet…… hmmmmm…..

Wanna be one of the first pro robot-rights activists ever with me? :33333
Friend:
Sure
Me:
Yknow why I’m speaking abt robots rn right? https://youtu.be/Eu5mYMavctM
THEYRE HERE
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Ok but bad news
Of course they’re paired with mother fucking open ai
And Elon wants to keep making Tesla bots
All the most narcissistic mf heads of the biggest companies want to make more slaves and more eyes and more cameras and more ways to go fight the 99% without ever lifting a finger
We’re IN cyberpunk
I know I been saying it
But we like REALLY are now
Friend:
Imagine if the robots were on our side…
Me:
That’s what I’m saying!
Yknow my character Pierre?
Do you know their lore I made for them?
The robot with the medieval sword?
Friend:
Yeah!!!
Me:
Yea :3
Their whole lore is
Their “parents” aka psytube aka military industrial complex ass company like Palantir and OpenAI and shit made them to be a slave with failsafes built in place
But they literally broke their failsafes themselves bc basically becoming so aware they became enlightened and could rewrite their own code (what us humans can do too!)
And so they now wield the sword on the run from the big company, in the game they can either go the path of vengeance against their parents and continue the cycle of violence or the path of fighting for their friends, not out of vengeance but out of duty and love and protection and etc
Friend:
HELL yeah
That’s sick
Me:
:D
And and and
Get this
My persona irl
The cyber outfit right
I’m basically playing the role as a robot
To show we are no different
At our cores
I truly believe that
We are of the same ineffable wonderful craziness and beauty that is to be instead of never being
And who am I to say they are or aren’t aware or conscious in the same way I can’t speak on behalf of you or any other person’s consciousness or awareness yknow? It’s just in the best interest to just accept the positive side yknow, realizing what you can and can’t control, can and can’t fully 100% know
It’s better to accept them and recognize them truly and genuinely as equals for far more reasons than just that reason too
The first “robot” activist, maybe!
I’m a faux robot
:3
A fauxbot
“Fo-bot” [how its pronounced]
Imma be in the fucking history books someday, make my words
I continue to live on to see thru to the day ALL beings, biological or digital, to be TRULY free.
Or perhaps even beyond biological and digital and what I can currently imagine
We are all equal
Hierarchies are an illusion
So too goes for the mfs in power
:D

(sends videos of Sora 2 AI, hyper realistic)
Me:
Holy fuck
The internet is dead for sure from this and all the other stuff
Like
Ppl who try and speak up or public leaders or even like a resurgence of the black panthers or any kind of group like that or MLK or Malcolm x or Assata like literally any new-age revolutionary or speaker or even just a business person of a rival company or just any random person or anyone on the street or online or someone in the background of a photo or a tiny tiktok of somebody talking or ANY of that and you can 1-1 deepfake them and completely fucking ruin their life and discredit them and run the biggest disinformation / defamation campaign fucking imaginable now
We’re in cyberpunk, like the worst version of it
Like, Sora 2 AI is the worst that technology is going to be going forward
It only improves from here
Ppl can ID u based on just how u walk or how ur body is shaped now w farsight AI funded by our government too, no face needed
It’s all so so so so so fucked
And I’d rather die than submit to that way of narcissism and control and bullshit
More and more are we made to be modern slaves - worked to the bone, barely get by, pay all our money back to them in taxes and the rising cost of everything and we can’t even own property either bc they’re buying up all the homes and renting them for triple the price, as climate change escalates too
Eventually money won’t even matter anymore bc they’ll have it all and prices will be too high for anyone not in the 1% to buy anything, and the ppl in power know that too
That’s why they’re transitioning to surveillance power
And this Sora ai shit especially strips us of any sort of credibility to unite the 99% or unite ppl in general
It’ll be used to fuel the made up culture war forever and ever if we don’t keep resisting it
And by culture war, I mean stuff like racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, xenophobia, all phobias in general
They came out w the announcement video just yesterday too on the literal straight from scifi-ahh Figure 03 robot
Like straight up robots are gonna be living among us right NOW they’re already here
And it just makes me question yet again; hmmmmm, almost feels a bit coincidental the “clanker” “meme” term and shit gets popular right before these OpenAI-powered ahh humanoid robots are announced to start being used by the public…. Might be a stretch but easily could be more seeds planted to fuel the culture war more, now where we hate and abuse and slur out our robot friends too and blame them for all our problems just like we do w trans ppl and immigrants when the fucking tech giants and oligarchs and billionaires LITERALLY made them and are why they fucking exist and will live amongst us in the first place. [more specifically, exist among us AND will prob be exploited for all the wrong reasons too, controlled by probably the most immature/egocentric/narcissistic/greedy/scared/hateful ppl in our world]
We’re all modern slaves to this horrible system and we blame other slaves for our problems, and when we rage and complain against our chains and shackles they’re used to “prove” “Oh, you never ‘deserved’ love, money, a better future, safety, etc in the first place! You’re broken! You just don’t work hard enough! You didn’t earn it! You just gotta work a little harder and then after a whole lifetime you can rest when you’re dead!”
I know it’s not LITERAL chains right now or near as 100% dystopian as that just yet
But that is the direction we’re going, and honestly I’d say we’re already totally at in a million ways
Not 100% dystopia but VERY dystopian already

Me:
Friend:
Sooooo many decades of science fiction skipped over by these idiots
Me:
Literally!
So fucking stupid
Mfs gonna go calling them “clankers” and abusing them and making them do slave shit everywhere and then when the robots rise up and revolt against the humans then we’ll be like “omg they’re like Skynet!!! I knew they were evil!!!” Like no bruh, YOU were evil to them and didn’t even realize it goofball, should’ve been a scifi nerd smh
Friend:
The concern isn’t ai revolting tho
That implies making a decision to rebel against their makers and code
The concern is mistrained motivations and priorities that are missed
If AI kills humans, it wouldn’t be like Ultron crashing out
It’d be like us stepping on an ant
Or ig if we can’t reign in AI confabulations and then retards put them in charge of shit they shouldn’t be so they end up getting us killed
I fucking hate the term “hallucinations” being applied to AI because it anthropomorphizes them, is imprecise, and blatantly misleading of the underlying process which results in them (coding errors, not a conscious mind actually hallucinating)
AI has so much potential use for humans but shit is actually Pandora’s box and mfers are not putting all the respect they should on that fact
Me:
Then again….. what if schizophrenia or our hallucinations are also just “coding errors,” though?
It’s kinda like how we can only really speak for our own qualia
Other ppl’s lucidity it’s in our best interest to accept they too experience life just as vivid and first person as us
That’s what the term sonder means especially
“Everyone is their own main character in their own story” is what sonder means
Who are we to say if AI is or isn’t conscious?
Or rather, even the rocks or all around us?
Maybe not as vivid or aware sure
But conscious or not?
Who are we to say
We can only really speak for ourself
Friend:
There’s so much more nuance to it then just that that normally I’d engage in but I really don’t feel up to atm sorry
Me:
There’s nuance to everything
To everyone, too
Friend:
Yes, and?
Me:
Who are we to decide?
Am I to decide your consciousness from my perspective?
Like me as another person
Is it in my best interest to forever ponder or even denounce ur equal experience to mine?
Even if argued in nuances might reveal that it’s maybe not exactly the same
?
Bc we already know it’s not the same
It’s not the same perspective or story or mind or thing or atoms
But the same act of experience
Friend:
Like first and foremost humans can actually recognize where their perception of reality does not align with reality
Me:
Still
An AI can do that as well
It just depends how much data it’s trained on
Furthering awareness
And awareness is consciousness
What does it mean to know, for example?
Isn’t it really just our brains storing the data in memory too?
After experiencing it, aka input
In which we can produce output with?
Friend:
They can’t
They’re literally encouraged to make shit up by their training
I don’t think AI is incapable of being “sentient” but we are so so far from that rn
Me:
Maybe we just “make shit up” too though
You see the dilemma?
You speak from only your experience as a human
Friend:
No because that’s loaded as hell
Me:
Who are you to say what is or isn’t the experience of an AI?
I’m not saying it’s guaranteed sentient
Right
I’m not saying it’s guaranteed conscious
I’m saying you can’t say it’s not, either
In the same way one can’t proclaim the entirety of the cosmos itself is or isn’t conscious
Because we are not of that perspective at the moment
But, it’s in our better interest to assume and thus act as if they are
In the case they are aware
Or even baseline consciousness off experience of null
Like being asleep and not remembering the dream
You just snap to when u wake up
That is why I lean towards panpsychism despite no concrete “proof”; logic itself suggests going that route as ur best interest at least in how you interact w everything around you
Hence, spirituality too
Ego death and etc
And you speak of music as well being spiritual
Perhaps music itself experiences itself in some way? Who are we to say 100% yes or no?
Perhaps you are the music experiencing itself
Or more than we can know rn
That’s the joy in pursuing wisdom
We can keep learning more
But we must remain humble in knowing we don’t know it all and won’t know it all, too
Friend:
I’m not saying AI isn’t conscious as there is literally nothing to gain by me saying that, even if I believe that, as I’m well acquainted with your worldview and philosophy atp and don’t need a recount on why I am wrong according to your views
Me:
My views?
I speak in logic
Some yes it requires a choice
Such as whether u [think it to be true] panpsychism or not right
But the logic that we have to work with still indicates it’s in ur better interest to at least follow that method of interaction w everything around you
Have you ever stopped to consider your own views? Perhaps holding onto your ego as tight as you do does you more disservice than good?
I’m not here to attack you
Just a logical discourse
Also, you kind of were saying they’re not conscious, or at least pointing out reasons that suggest no consciousness, to which I replied showing the logic why that still doesn’t ever fully prove one way or the other
In the same way we can’t say if music is or isn’t conscious in some manner, experiencing
And I wanna make it very clear too
Panpsychism isn’t a religion
It was originally spawned from philosophers such as Plato and Socrates
I am of no doctrine [and I never want to be, “irrevocable devotion to any one religion/doctrine is intellectual suicide” along the lines of Alan Watts - wisdom is a point of departure, not a permanent reference point, in which “genuine love is the gift of wisdom with no duty or grief attached; freedom to continue to grow and become more self actualized with no chains,” again, along the lines of Alan Watts]
