Someone said that the reason LLM validates @kingiyk‘s “proof” of God’s existence, is that the internet is full of information and discourse that agrees with it. Whereas, there’s not much on the true existence of Dracula. So, the LLM repeats what it sees.

Sunday School 6 months, 4 weeks ago[…] AI welfare is a legitimate domain of inquiry because we cannot rule out the possibility that AI systems may have—or may one day develop—consciousness.

i saw that in JP but did not read it. My assumption was that the putative basis for denying Israelis was to keep them safe and i am thinking sure let the aggressors watch and ban the targets of aggression. But no it is the zionists who are the threat!
