@briebriejoy @magdajtaylor 1st time caller…Really enjoyed this convo w/Taylor. While i appreciate the hetero-optimism idea, I think it could be strengthened by connecting to histories about the creation of heterosexuality within the Western colonial project.

Here's my promised explainer. Doing my best to synthesize a lot of info here so check all my info; don't rely on it So - the SpaceX IPO (SPCX:NASDAQ) 1/ Normally, a company with a massive valuation has to wait months to a year after its IPO before index funds are allowed to buy

The Pope is making exactly our point. LLMs “may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand.” This is the core epistemic fault line. Most AI evaluation is still based on one assumption: if a system statistically approximates human behaviour, then it is close to human intelligence. But approximation is not intelligence. Simulation is not understanding. LLMs can produce the right answer without knowing why it is right. They can simulate empathy without feeling. They can imitate judgment without responsibility. They can generate coherent explanations without having a world to which those explanations are accountable. Stop confusing behavioural similarity with cognitive equivalence. Human understanding is embodied, affective, relational, motivational, and normative. It is not just the production of plausible text. * Full paper in the first reply

@SeanChrisLewis Just finished Survival. Brilliant writing! What did you source for the text about glutinous blood-feeding vampires becoming beast? The metaphor is awesome.
