Hejiru 03/27/24 8:40:27 AM #33 | JOExHIGASHI posted...
How would one determine if consciousness or awareness exists? I dont think its possible. Theres no way to really know if a machine that seems sentient truly is sentient, or is just really good at appearing to be. But thats a philosophical problem more than a technological one. The same issue applies to humans; you cant really know anything else is conscious other than yourself. --- The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. |

Hejiru 03/27/24 8:35:38 AM #32 | OhhhJa posted...
It matters because we still don't understand the mechanisms that create consciousness and can't conclusively prove whether or not a sentient AI is possible. As far as we currently know, consciousness may be exclusive to carbon based lifeforms or it may not be. I think we'll crack it one day but we're not there yet I agree, thats why I took issue with him declaring it a definite no. --- The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. |

I like the idea of the Koopalings being his children, but calling someone your son/child doesn't need to be taken literally, in the same sense that someone can call you their bro or cuz. No, they really did refer to them explicitly as Bowsers children in Japanese material for SMB3 and SMW. Sometimes localizers make things up, but not in this case.

most people will not use vpns. Many people are like tech illiterate. But it will almost certainly past senate right, and then for sure go to s.c.? I wouldnt say almost certainly. Actually it sounds pretty unlikely based on what Ive been reading: The bill faces a difficult road to passage in the Senate, where Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, has been noncommittal about bringing it to the floor for a vote and where some lawmakers have vowed to fight it. And even if it passes the Senate and becomes law, it is likely to face legal challenges. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/13/technology/tiktok-ban-house-vote.html --- The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense. |

First of all, the bill hasnt passed yet. It still needs to pass the Senate, and theres no guarantee that will happen. And even if it does pass the Senate, and doesnt get struck down by the supreme court, its more likely that TikToks parent company will sell it rather than just shrug and accept a ban.
