Consequentialism we can agree on. Souls are gonna be a tough sell. But if your claim about anthropomorphism is that it leads to a degradation of one’s humanity or spirituality, I think more often than not the opposite is true. Being polite to models, for example, is a behaviour that both anthropomorphizes and reinforces one’s own humanity.

@tszzl @davidmanheim @sreeramkannan And this is important, because epistemic humility does NOT mean that all theories or opinions deserve a place at the table (looking at you astrology). It means that those places are earned through evidence, falsifiability, repeatability, and predictive power.

Has any serious person claimed that putting up cameras everywhere doesn’t reduce crime? Of course it does. Beijing is one of the safest cities in the world.

@andrew__reed But there is no way a smart guy like you is surprised about it, though. Upset, but not surprised.

@sebuzdugan @thsottiaux less than ~5% of the human brain is used during high level reasoning, even through the most difficult problems. most of the rest is for physical coordination and homeostasis
