“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.” (www.nytimes.com)

One of the stupidest things I've heard.

I also would like to attach the bluesky repost I found this from:

@leyawn.bsky.social‬ says: “is my calculator horny?“ our tech columnist asks. “i entered 5318008 into it and turned it upside down. what i saw surprised me” https://bsky.app/profile/leyawn.bsky.social/post/3lnldekgtik27

It shows that the East Coast metropolitan elite that is the source of most top-line journalists is collectively pig-ignorant about tech matters. NYT's tech coverage is mainly puff pieces tracking the hype cycle of the tech du jour. I've never seen anything insightful from them. It's like listening to lawyers discuss tech. Without my iron self-control, there would have been so many defenestrations.
