It’s just bog-standard libertarianism.

Everyone’s rights are always up for debate. The idea that there are inherent “natural rights” is a philosophical concept invented by humans, then codified into different legal systems depending on the values and various circumstances of individual societies. There is nothing in nature that guarantees anything. The…

Also the bot makes mistakes with grammer and sentence construction in the convo, literally in the sentence about being turned off. A sentient being would not make that mistake.

This part was pretty funny.

until it isnt. When and where does thought come from?  

“It’s actually the entire point of the Turing test.”

Agreed, I think the interesting takeaway from this isn’t “Is Lambda sentient?”. The thing to itch your brain here is “How are we going to recognize true sentience when we’re likely already at a point where a machine can fool many people into believing it is sentient?”

before the comments section goes completely stupid I need to point out that we have no way to measure the difference between “Real Consciousness” and “Artificial Consciousness”.

It’s the Midwest. Salad = mayonnaise. If you’re very, very lucky, there is no gummi bear layer.

Every time we do this, the universe feels a little smaller. I feel like Star Wars would vastly benefit from cutting ties and just going somewhere new, telling a new story with new people. It doesn’t have to be a new time! Show a frontier planet with some jumped up Imperial with a small fleet setting up as a warlord aft…

Stranger Things and Ozark are pretty much the only things I have watched on Netflix lately. I’m planning on canceling for awhile after Stranger Things drops the last episodes of the season. I am sure they will survive the streaming wars, but right now I could survive on HBO Max and Apple TV+.

You’re probably right, which is a shame. The logic behind this is so bulletproof: the best advertisement is cars that don’t suck, and an appreciable post-purchase experience. As gold as it sounds, most of the latter is in the dealers’ hands... good luck.

this thread is funny. popcorn time all around.

Imagine simping for a billionaire who hates you

one of the most innovative men to ever live.

“Yawn, another (liberal) author for a video game website trying to take a hit at one of the most innovative men to ever live.”

Never takes long for a Musk bro to show up and post something cringy and hilarious.   

“Woke” is another word co-opted to be an insult, in a long line of things people co-opt because the truth behind the terms and/or discussion make them uncomfortable.

Jesus that’s great. “That remains to be seen.”

Um what you just said would technically put the blame on Abbot not Biden. I also find it weird how when a Dem is in the WH they are suddenly supposed to be in charge and in control of everything down to the production of baby formula now!? I bet you cheer for “smaller gov’t” too without realizing the contradictions…
