fully conscious according to any test I can think of
There’s no such thing as an actual test for consciousness in machines. We can do tests on animals to see if their sensory experience includes self-awareness, but we’re already operating on the assumption that they have feelings and sensory experience because they have a brain and nervous system like us, and they’re all directly related to us (as all organisms are). But that’s totally different from designing a machine which mimics (or predicts/auto-completes) our observable behavior and then assuming that it “doesn’t like” something or does anything “for fun.”
What sucks is that some idiots are going to start falling for this. And eventually software will be given human rights, which actually means that the software’s owners will have extra rights compared to the rest of us.

His haters make him famous


I hope they make papyrus the official font


I am interested to see if these tools can be used to tackle tech debt
Having it rewrite existing functioning code seems like a terrible idea. QA would at least have to re-test all functionality.
You’re not “left” you’re a fed
Why don’t you incite some more violence? Fed goon.


Amazing on so many levels.
They weren’t there. These are feds and troll farms inciting idiotic behavior online.


“smart” cars
Four episodes per month is a lot of work.
Is it supposed to become a paid gig eventually?
Does the company make any money? Like are you advertising or accepting paid subscriptions, or getting funding of any kind?
