So about the podcast that delved into “AI Consciousness”. They barely mentioned until near the end WHY this is an important topic, and they noted their procrastination.

WRT my POV, it should mostly boil down to “What kind of ‘human rights’ might and should machines be given by law one day?”. Any live beings (as in meat bodies with brains) have…[Read more]

Cheers Reg!

I’ll get back to responding on this forum, but one of Trump’s Shadow Docket “emergency” maneuvers is coming up within days. Be honest y’all, who here expects SCOTUS to do the right thing by not just kissing Trump’s ass?

Well ok then, thanks for y’all being candid.

Thanks, Reg!!

Thanks Reg!

I think what AI “will become” will be more of an issue someday, but not before “what AI will be used for” is more apparent. AI evolution…[Read more]

Never mind Pope. After reading your line again i think you are indicating that the meaning has been watered down so that ambiguity is read into it rather than questioning its plain meaning and efficacy.

I wasn’t implying that, although that may not be inaccurate. SCOTUS itself has been watering down and resetting precedents on…[Read more]

That was an exceptional read, Reg. Thank you for sharing it here 🫶
