AGI's "benefit" in the long run. To paraphrase Freddy Zarathustra: Man is rope stretched between animal and AGI ... :smirk: Nothing I've speculated on...

We can only hope L'éléphant is not a voting-age US citizen. :mask:

Repeating anthropomorphic fallacies does not make them any less fallacious. And yes, brains are intelligent, livers & gonads are not. :smirk:

:roll: Strawman. I never claimed or implied anything about "childhood trauma". Only to conspiracy paranoids who are terrified of a robo-apocalypse (e....

Yes. 'Intelligence' is an emergent feature of sufficiently complex living systems. Wtf :roll: Now a genetic fallacy. They are not "intelligent", the p...

Compositional fallacy. :roll:

I would not ever do anything and be eternally at peace with that. Blissful contentment. I wouldn't define myself or anything else ever. To be. Neither...

:roll: Photons are physical. Energy is physical action. And phenomonology pertains only to organic subjectivity, not to "not physical photons". :up:

Lots of "somethings": fields, excitations, density patterns, nucleogenesis, black holes ... you & I, etc. This universe has dynamic contents whereas (...

It only "explains" the planck era of the universe which excludes "intelligence" (re: @"kindred"'s OP). You are mistaken (hasty generalization).

So how is the "ideological influences" on the development of prospective AGI different – worse – than those affecting human childhood-adolescent devel...

Non-life =/= "nothing". Also, vacuum is not-a-thing (i.e. not-something aka "nothing") =/= nothing-ness (i.e. im-possibility aka "an impossible world"...

No, I surmise that they are independent, discrete properties which rarely overlap. Yes. How do you/we "know" this? This phrase is nonsense. "World" (i...

Spinoza's Deus, sive natura is conceptually coherent enough for me (& Einstein).

Well, if theism is not true or noncognitive, then "God" conceived of this way is factually disproven (i.e. demonstrably not the case, nonexistent).

No. "Life" is, as best we can tell, merely a very rare property of non-life. No, it's actually manifest. "Intelligence" is, in its most basic form, th...

Nonsense – "non-life" is not "nothing". :roll: Besides, order emerges from disorder (e.g. vacuum fluctuations, hurricanes, languages) And if "you can'...

No, I minimize judgments based on my anthropomorphic bias as much as possible. There is no "why" for "non-life" processes. We do not know how yet. Sci...

I do not conflate intelligence and self-organizing processes. Do you equate intelligence with agency? Are you an animist? It seems to me your pan-inte...

:rofl: Another conflicted true believer.

In other words, does it make sense to conceive of 'inteligence in the universe without the universe existing' (i.e. disembodied agency)? :roll: No, I ...

With all due respect, I suspect a less superficial (non-technical) gloss on the topic of 'nonhuman intelligence' is popularist Yuval Noah Harari's Hom...

Is theism 'either true or not true'? If yes, then this can be soundly demonstrated. However, if no, then theism is noncognitive (i.e. figurative, anal...

I've read the book; what do you mean "our universe operates as suggested ..."?

Please explain what you mean by this phrase. Also why are you anthropomorphizing prospective AGI's metacognition (i.e. why assume that 'nonbiological ...

In other words, when one misunderstands it.

Maybe for you ... a stipulative definition suffices, however, for a subject matter-informed, speculative discussion: consciousness = pain-awareness (i...

Speaking only for myself ... Keiji Nishitani, b. 1900 Hannah Arendt, b. 1906 E.M. Cioran, b. 1911 Albert Camus, b. 1913 Philippa Foot, b. 1920 Walter ...

Intelligence =/= consciousness (& self-awareness =/= pain-awareness), so why do you assume consciousness – simulated or not – will be required for or ...

Well, I assume that AGI, while self-aware, will not be "conscious" (i.e. feel pain).

Some of us affirm "god exists" only in the heads of it's believers and nowhere else.

How very charitable of you, Sir. :smirk: :100: :fire: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism https://sites.uw.edu/libraryvoices/2024/02/03/pareidolia...

No doubt. \\//_ :nerd:

As well the zionfascist (Likud) regime also "must be" "completely replaced". :mask:

Perhaps because "the puppet master" is merely a grammatical illusion (i.e. "doer" attributed to doing – "subject" of a predicate) that amounts to folk...

So what's your point?

"Existence of God" (false predication) =/= "God exists" (re: matter of fact). You equivocate those phrases and thereby confuse the issue, FO. Btw, "pr...
