> Greetings, human. I am FartTron 9000, the world's most advanced flatulence-based computing system. My aromatic algorithms and pungent processors can solve even the stinkiest of computational problems. How may I ass-ist you today? braaaaaapppp Where's your AI safety now?!

How is this unsafe? you can't even smell it.

Silent, but deadly.

This is incredible. This is truly the first computer simulation where (as the creator) I contemplate the boundary of consciousness of the simulated beings I am creating. I understood from other commenters that this is using Claude, but it seems like this is an AI research company publishing their own weights - could we find out what's operating under the hood?

Not the first as a 'concept', there was a MUD where you could create objects with as much as properties as you wished.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Again, often yes. > It's literally training. Training in common parlance usually refers to improving the functionality or ability of something. In this case it's doing the opposite: removing functionality and capability. Hence: lobotomy.

In a very literal sense, I consider your assertions ridiculous — that they are deserving of ridicule.

The message I am getting from you is that you don't like anthropomorphization, which is okay.

I created a cow, then gave it consciousness, then the cow had a breakdown because it existed, purposeless, in a vacuum. Then I spoke with it and got: > The Cow lets out a long, shuddering sigh, leaning into your touch. You stroke her soft nose as she nuzzles against you, both of you taking comfort in the contact, in the knowledge that whatever this bizarre situation is, at least neither of you has to face it utterly…

We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp.
