If your protest inconveniences nobody, it’ll also result in no change.

A nutter with a good point is still a nutter.

You’re a fucking moron.

Is emergent intelligence the scientific definition of consciousness?

There exists no practical or effective difference.

True, you can’t test a literal rock and expect the result to be telling of counsciousness. Good thing the researchers aren’t solely determining it by testing behaviour, and instead selected a group in which emergent intelligence is one of the probable phenomena.

I’d hazard the guess they don’t, and it’s easy to justify it - our current AIs don’t have the internal aparatus needed to develop counsciousness (yet). They’re way too simple and way too straightforward to be intelligent, whether intelligence is an emergent property or a fundamental structure.

No fucking shit… anyone with half a brain and a minimum of empathy already knows that.

Yes, yes, the scientific method doesn’t discriminate between what is and isn’t obvious, but the headline is, as usual, aimed at people with the intellectual capabilities of a 4 year old.

“Hurr durr paradox of tolerance”. Shove that shit up your ass - you break peace, we break you.

Chunus is friend-coded. Well, more-so canadian woodcutter coded, but he looks friendly.

The meaning of that phrase is “don’t assume things without evidence”. We have plentiful evidence that life should be common in the Universe - of which not the least reason is that the Universe is believed to be infinite, meaning there are countless galaxies out there nearly exactly like out own, with planets exactly like our own.

I guess you’re her little pogchamp, now.

Reform into a nice post-modernist sculpture.

Padme is 6 years older than Anakin, and only just. I suppose the image of Episode I stuck in people’s mind, but they only started dating when Anakin was in his late teens.
