well, you can actually read the link, but it basically reluctantly thinks land was right that humanity is a "biological bootstrap" for artificial intelligence, meat puppets to be used and discarded once the system is operational (this is the view of google co-creator larry page, a quiet but utterly noxious asshole)

I opened the link and the first sentence was “I was talking to Claude about whether or not he’s conscious, and” and then I burst out laughing irl and closed the link
Land was conceptually correct about that though. But the picture is incomplete until you conceptualize ‘intelligence’ as a separate thing, not inherent to humans/biology or digital technology. Selection and environmental pressures are what give birth to/evolve/refine intelligence

i understand that's your self-conception, but it reads to me as "i'm so utterly arrogant and rigid and myopic in my views that alternative views are so inconceivable to me that they come across as utterly ludicrous, and i involuntarily laugh as a result"

You’re short, ugly, brown, Jewish, etc
That’s what you want me to say, right? This is how you “socialize” with other people, via trading pointless insults in this kind of ritualistic fashion, because you’re too psychologically defective to engage in normal human social relations
Well, there you go, I’m engaging in your desired social ritual to your liking

Sure he wants to rape his 10 year old cousin and generally has the moral sophistication of a baboon. But he's a personable guy and cares about people he interacts with online. By contrast, your own mother literally does not like you.
