It argued there is “a realistic possibility that some AI systems will be conscious” in the near future, meaning that the prospect of AI systems with their own interests and moral significance “is no longer an issue only for sci-fi”.
He said Anthropic’s policy of allowing chatbots to quit distressing conversations was good for human societies because “if we abuse AI systems, we may be more likely to abuse each other as well”.
He added: “If we develop an adversarial relationship with AI systems now, then they might respond in kind later on, either because they learned this behaviour from us [or] because they want to pay us back for our past behaviour.”
If we can use artificial limbs to communicate our motor instincts, AI can definitely be sentient. With robotics engineering, medicine and surgery and computational adaptions, there is a very high possibility AI will eventually be made sentient.
I will debut longer form personal, experiential, and spiritual essays next year. I want to continue to do meaningful work. Help me conquer those who steal life, labor and liberty. Thank you.
When I realized comedy can be described as the things I say and do as well as the things I don’t say and do, I knew it was for me. I was seeing and hearing all kinds of shit that couldn’t be happening in the dreams and the nightmare we call society. I believe they call that crazy. You don’t need any proof. Someone just has to appear to have more potential at succeeding than you and you can make shit up about them. Better than that, you can plot to make them what you say they are. There’s always a ridicule am yet to encounter and the punches just keep coming. It is no miracle I survived. I am now more than qualified to tell comedically twisted true tales as a part of the jazz music festival, half time music. half time comedy. it is hilarious. In fact it is now a comedic-jazz music festival. Your receipts for music by ril and the free books for life cause mean the world to me. Help achieve justice.
