Round is a shape! But seriously, 54 is still young. You still have decades ahead of you, and the way some of this medical science is progressing, hopefully those can be good decades. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think it is much easier to make a program that looks consciouss than one that actually is, even considering that we wouldn't know how to check which one we have.

Lexx Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 You just have to read that chatlog with the ai to see that it's not conscious.

ShadySands Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Surprise – Again! NASA Spacecraft Reveals Asteroid Bennu Is Not What It Seemed Quote Scientists have learned something astonishing after analyzing data gathered when NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft collected a sample from asteroid Bennu in October 2020. The spacecraft would have sunk into the asteroid had it not fired its thrusters to back away immediately after it grabbed its sample of dust and rock from Bennu’s surface. “Our expectations about the asteroid’s surface were completely wrong.” — Dante Lauretta, principal investigator of OSIRIS-REx Unexpectedly, it turns out that the particles making up Bennu’s exterior are so loosely packed and lightly bound to each other that if a person were to step onto the asteroid they would feel very little resistance. It would be like stepping into a pit of plastic balls that are popular play areas for kids. 1 2 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartimaeus Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Trash source: Our empty oceans: Scots team’s research finds Atlantic plankton all but wiped out in catastrophic loss of life The planet is almost certainly past its tipping point for humanity's survival on the scale to which we are accustomed to (i.e. 7 billion people); it will be curious to see how much longer it takes for entire food chains to collapse and start killing off human en masse as well. Will the planet be too far gone for that to matter by that point, or will killing off a substantial amount of humanity actually allow it to stabilize and eventually recover? The worst-off people in the poorest parts of the world are certain to be the ones affected the most by it at least initially, while the majority of us will likely be fine for the remainder of our lives (though less can be said for the our descendants). "Interesting" times ahead as always, it would seem... Edited July 17, 2022 by Bartimaeus Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
