> It's not even clear whether two humans are experiencing the same flavor or taste when they agree that a food is "sweet"

OK but that's like criticizing every science result by saying "how did they control for the possibility that I'm a vat brain and nothing they did was real"

This is obviously the nicer sounding position but I wonder if it's the true one.

> "AI" doesn't work reliably enough to be used for most stuff. Safety from that perspective is real.

If someone wants the data but doesn't want to read a pdf wall, here are the important numbers:

The mothers of 54 non-autistic boys were surveyed, and 7.4% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 67 non-autistic girls were surveyed, and 17.9% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 140 autistic boys were surveyed, and 19.3% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

The mothers of 28 autistic girls were surveyed, and 10.7% of them had at least one diet soda per day.

They did some analysis that was supposed to control for income, education, ethnicity, and geographical location to get the odds ratios and confidence intervals that other people are commenting.

> I wanna know: where's the AI advocates? The people who are speaking in favor of AI now are just doing so because they think it will make them rich. Where's the people welcoming the bot overlords? Why aren't they working to make our future be the shape they think it should be?

The call themselves e/acc. Chad effective accelerationists, making fun of the virgin effective altruism movement. They encompass a wide variety of degrees of irony like early flat earth society or early donald trump fans and they will probably end up similarly, where the movement becomes completely unironic and the ones who participated ironically get bored and do other things.
