Putting more knowledge in a box isn’t going to create a lifeform. I have even listened to Sam Altman state they are not going to get a life form from just pretraining, though they are going to continue making advances there until the next breakthrough comes along.
Rest assured, as an AI doomsayer myself, I promise you they are nowhere close to sentience.

Are weebs even obsessed with Japanese culture, or just the children’s entertainment and snack foods aspect of it?
Forgive my bluntness, but I’ve never had a weeb give me their thoughts on Murakami’s latest novel.
The punk aesthetic was invented by a man who owned a fashion label and had his own storefront.
I once had a Republican tell me he was, “black woke, not trans woke.”
I told him I didn’t know what that meant, and he said, “I don’t hate people for who they are, but people can’t just be whatever they want to be.”
Cue the Nathan Fielder meme of him just saying, “oh… Okay.”
I’m 100℅ in favor of breaking Facebook into 912 separate companies.
But not having the current political power to get that done doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do it to tik tok while we still have the power to.

Tik tok might as well just change their name to empathy box, because they have convinced their users that the act of watching content on empathy box makes them more moral and politically aware than the rest of us.
At the end of the day, we have to be nervous when a foreign nation has content reach to 80℅ of Americans. This foreign nation is banning Americans from accusing it of genocide while allowing an economic incentive for Americans to accuse themselves and everybody else of doing it.
Deep down, every one of us knows tik tok is a power nobody can or should be trusted with.
