There’s a general scientific consensus based on data and measurement, with the understanding that it’s slippery

It is constantly under assault from those who want AI to be conscious, because they get a headline, or they are true believers in some technocratic future, or they’re just fantasists

I agree that there’s a general consensus about consciousness, the rest slips into the messy and pointless world of philosophy

It’s still overreaching to think that it applies to AI as it currently, and foreseeably stands

There’s a world of difference between AI and what’s recognised as artificial general intelligence

AI can do specific things really well at the moment, but as with all complex systems, going from being good at one thing to many things is a leap far greater than the sum of its parts

There is still no good definition for what “consciousness” is

Tech writers are constantly overreaching because they’re afraid to miss out on being the first to say something

The constant sensationalism just means that if something really happens, people will ignore it because we’re sick of hearing people cry “wolf!”

Add to that the fact that computery types like to overextrapolate into other things because it fuels their fantasies, and it’s all bullshit and overactive imaginations

The problem I see so often with smart computer people is that they don’t understand that they don’t know shit about other things

He’s afraid of people being informed by anything other than cable “news”

I’m lucky

I have no children, and never will

My family and I aren’t close

My fiancée and I met through the erotic content that I create, and all my friends are well aware of it

My image has already been shared far and wide (without my permission), so that ship has already sailed

I’ll be dead, and nobody will be worried about my digital legacy whatsoever

I know, however, that I’m very much the exception and not the rule

Fish too

He hung out with a bunch of dudes, and he liked to wash their feet…

There are more questions than answers

I hope every single person who has, or ever will, buy a cybertruck a lifetime of misery and misfortune

May they stub their toe on every step for the rest of their life

Too little, too late

Whoops! Tennessee!

Autocorrect. My phone confused one stupid state for another stupid state

Congratulations on being a part of the problem

The corruption is the whole point
