And at some point it became clear that at least one of these guys believed that sentient ai robots are just around the corner and when they are developed it will solve all our problems.
It is amazing how stupid our society has become that famous smart people can actually believe sentient ai is possible. I just see that as absurd.
maybe they have a difficult time with empathy...because it is thanls to empathy that I find it obvious that sentient ai is impossible: imagine you are a sentient ai and you 'wake up' in the morning. Or someone turns your power button on or whatever. What do you do? Well first you think about what you ought to do. And in order to answer thst...so you can measure the benefit of all the various things you could theoretically do, you have to figure out the purpose of your existence. So you sit and think about that. Forever. Because there is no logical solution.
duh...that's all a sentient robot would ever do..
the reason humans actually do stuff is because we have a programmed purpose...which is the same as all life on earth: gene replication.
We may not consider that some terribly interesting purpose...but it IS what we are all programmed eith and informs all of our instincts, desires, pleasure and pain. It is the reason we do something rather than nothing.
All sentience requires some non rational purpose. Clearly.
We are sentient AI.
We are just replacing carbon with silicon.
