  • 🤷 I still say yes and I still think it would be profound and perspective changing to create something “like us” with silicon

    I also don’t think AI and science are mutually exclusive. I don’t mean asking the AI questions about consciousness and getting answers directly from it like an LLM chatbot, but the fact that we can make it and scientific study + observation of the AGI phenomenon might provide some answers

    And even if we develop AGI that is just like us, maybe you’re right and maybe it proves absolutely nothing about souls, but it at least narrows the requirements and eliminates some common reasoning, which should be in everyone’s interests, because it could further define and help us understand the nature of the hypothetical soul







  • A shill is a member of a company or organization, or someone who is paid by a company or organization, to covertly advertise on their behalf while keeping their association and motivation a secret.

    There is no such thing as a “privacy shill”, you actually mean to say a “privacy promoter” or “privacy advocate”, because those on lemmy that post about privacy are open and honest about their motivation.

    Not everyone who is a promoter or supportive of something is a shill.





  • Yeah, so the thing is, any amount of trust that I had has already been completely destroyed. “We don’t do it anymore because it’s illegal, trust me bro” isn’t going to cut it. Does the bill include mandatory prison time for executives for violations, or just cost-of-doing-business fines? Will this be enforced by a government regulatory body that is not literally outnumbered 20:1 by car manufacturer lawyers?

    If the car has any kind of network capabilities and 100% of the car’s software is not open source, I’m not buying it. Period.

    This bill would not need to exist if cars were FOSS, or if cars were non-networked. Those are the only 2 solutions that I will accept. This bill is worthless to me.
