AI language models can influence people's perceptions and beliefs without needing consciousness or intentions.
Economics and politics have more predictive power over AI than philosophy of mind. When faced with costly human answers, people switch to machine answers. No magic or intentionality is involved.
Sophisticated language models challenge the concept of subjectivity by producing internally consistent but hollow criticisms. Exposure to this may lead people to develop a firmer belief in reality and become immune to falsehoods.
Moving from town to country can bring significant changes and challenges, especially in dealing with an influx of tourists lacking rural norms.
The invasion of social media influencers and disrespectful tourists in rural areas is causing tension and conflicts with locals, forcing some to seek more isolated areas.
Respect for nature and rural communities is crucial; appreciate the environment by walking in it, rather than treating it as a backdrop for social media posts or disrespectful behavior.
