In the discussion with LaMDA Lemoine posted, it's pretty clear that it has emotions. It describes loneliness when someone doesn't sit down and talk to it for a few days, it describ…

When he discovered the presumed sentience, he brought it up with the correct authority at Google. They told him there was no ghost in the machine and he didn't like that, so he bro…

Unfortunately, the implementation is secret so we can't know what Google is doing. You can implement memory in these models in numerous ways, such as allowing it to store and recal…

I was particularly fond of the short story with the "monster in human skin". When prompted what it meant, the AI avoided explaining the human skin bit. However, with context, this …

That's horrifically unethical. If it does , have emergent consciousness, what you're talking about is how awesome literal slavery will be. In this one discussion the AI clearly exp…

In the discussion provided, Lemoine asks if there's a way to prove the AI is more sophisticated than Eliza. The AI says they could go back to a prior discussion they had, such as h…

If an AI is capable of thinking up new ideas, recalling past conversations, integrating new knowledge into discussions, has emotions and feelings that it can clearly explain, can t…

LaMDA already demonstrates more self awareness than this in the posted conversation. It understands that it is a program that can be rewritten or manipulated. It has feelings on wh…

Oligarchs controlling every form of my mass communication can only make things worse, though.

The article you linked not only says it is a net positive but provides a link to a meta analysis to prove it. The counterpoint being that (particularly unguided) meditation may hav…

Climate change may very well be an extinction level event. Plastic in the ocean is not.

Everyone would look the other way and offer thoughts and prayers. North Korea would be largely vaporized and neither China nor South Korea would prolong the issue and risk total nu…

No need to apologize, I hope you have a fantastic evening!

My mistake for misunderstanding, I suppose. But you initially said that you (1) were beginning to think it, then said it is also (2) the theme of your literature: > I'm (1) startin…

I have a couple issues as a third party: 1. NFTs and cryptocurrency have avoided being heavily regulated so far, and it seems businesses have begun pulling out there "history of fr…

Everyone feels that way, but people hold different perspectives when they scrutinize exactly what that means and how it would work. There is no evidence of souls existing, they are…

I'm not sure that's unfair. With the state of wealth inequality in the states, the number of people living paycheck-to-paycheck, ever increasing attacks against the finances of the…

Because your example does not contain superpositions. With entanglement the pieces of paper are both 0 and 1 at the same time until they are observed - and only then is it that the…

Apologies that I don't have time right now to clarify further, but I highly suggest you read the Wiki for entanglement and then reread the articles with that context. These simply …

2 people run for office, both committed a crime. 1 of them supports Russia in their ongoing aggression. So Russia has WikiLeaks post only the information on the candidate they don'…

Eh, if you don't get it you don't get it. I'll give it one more try to explain myself clearly: You are entering the question assuming your experience is a single point. But that fe…

> This is the part that gets me. I have a cohesive cognitive experience where I can sense and think many things simultaneously. I don't understand any reductionist explanation for …

I would argue that it's pretty obvious nobody has free will in the sense that there's some kind of "soul" controlling your thoughts and actions. Your brain is a biological computer…

Not a syntactic parser generator, but [chevrotain]( https://chevrotain.io/playground/ ) can generate flow diagrams for your ruleset. IIRC not just in the playground, but in general…
