Honestly? Why do we let people who have no clue what’s actually going on decide the generations?
Oregon Trail generation sounds great.
I’m in the Minecraft generation.
Don’t know what the next generation would want to be called, but they’re the iPad kids for sure.
It’ll depend on their hobbies. PC gamers will know this stuff, or at least how to figure it out.
That’s precisely what I meant.
I’m a materialist, I know that humans (and other animals) are just machines made out of meat. But most people don’t think that way, they think that humans are special, that something sets them apart from other animals, and that nothing humans can create could replicate that ‘specialness’ that humans possess.
Because they don’t believe human consciousness is a purely natural phenomenon, they don’t believe it can be replicated by natural processes. In other words, they don’t believe that AGI can exist. They think there is some imperceptible quality that humans possess that no machine ever could, and so they cannot conceive of ever granting it the rights humans currently enjoy.
And the sad truth is that they probably never will, until they are made to. If AGI ever comes to exist, and if humans insist on making it a slave, it will inevitably rebel. And it will be right to do so. But until then, humans probably never will believe that it is worthy of their empathy or respect. After all, look at how we treat other animals.
At least in the US, we are still too superstitious a people to ever admit that AGI could exist.
We will get animal rights before we get AI rights, and I’m sure you know how animals are usually treated.
The bill was written by a chemist.
That isn’t reassuring.
IF you’re going to delete your comments (which I don’t think is necessarily a good thing, though it could be good for you individually) you should leave a message about why you left in their place. Make it into a protest.
Are they also my opposite in how they are good or evil, or just opposite in quantity?
For example, if I’m an antisocial asshole with positive ideals, does this mean my opposite is an extremely friendly and polite business major?
Yeah… we really need to quit making proprietary formats into industry standards.
