  • You would have to look up the meaning of anthropomorphism if it's not clear.

  • I don't think it's useful to anthropomorphise it.

  • That's been a raging debate, an existential exercise. In real world conditions, we have free will, freeer than it's ever been. We can be whatever we will ourselves to believe.

  • Gotta quit anthropomorphising machines. It takes free will to be a psychopath, all else is just imitating.

  • Just fyi, it begins with vger.

    "V'ger was a massive entity and one of the most extraordinary lifeforms ever encountered by the United Federation of Planets. It generated enormous levels of power and threatened Earth with destruction until it found a way to evolve"

    "...On its journey back, it amassed so much knowledge, it achieved consciousness itself. It became a living thing." James T. Kirk

  • I get "access denied" from the link. I didn't want to click, but I did, now I wish I didn't 😄

  • "What cracker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?"

  • I don't think a device will ever have a thought. I find it somewhat akin to a belief in the anamism of objects, that it will aquire some form of life force of its own. What a thought is, is a complete mystery. Nobody knows why they happen, where they come from. So, who is even to determine whether an inamimate object is exhibiting signs of consciousness? There are some people that believe it, others are just running a con.

  • I think George Carlin would agree with you, if you've heard of him. He had a thing with words. Elon's a banal idiot, no offence to all the banal people out there, and idiot is no longer derogetory, it's really Idiocracy out there these days.

  • Singhs been a wet noodle for a long time now. The NDP is stagnant. They need a change.

  • I don't know any other people that use it, but other people know I use it 😄

  • Nothing, nothing really. I just feel that I need something stronger.
