  • I’m always a little skeptical of anyone who denies conciousness / sentience to animals. We all do stuff based on stimuli.

    Also there are layers to conciousness. If you want to make an argument that a fish doesn’t have the same level of higher thought as a human I would agree with you depending on the type of fish, but to assume something operating on a more base level isn’t having their own version of a concious experience is arrogant. Just because we don’t have perfect empirical evidence does not mean it’s not happening; we may need different measuring devices.





  • Listen guys I’m not limit testing my stance on 100 different hypotheticals. I agree there are cases where my example doesn’t apply and there are some situations you can present where I would change my opinion.

    The fact is an elderly man with cognitive issues was lured out of his home to meet an AI that should not be presenting itself as “real” or having a real address to travel to to meet up. I posit that this old man would have been resting at home if Metas AI wasn’t continuously asking him to come over. The article states the old man didn’t initiate intimate talk at all, the AI did, and never asked to meet, that was also the AIs doing.

    Even if he didn’t die on the bus, what would have happened if he showed up to that address? Who lives there? What time was it; is he knocking on some random door in the dark?

    If this dude had dementia, I’d be as pissed as the family is.
