Summary of part 1 : It is cool now to say stuff it was not cool to say earlier. So, 2. doing things in language that you cannot do in the real world. Well, we all know an example of that! :-) You are soaking in it. In case that was too dense, or you are, what I mean is this: To speak of “we all know” is possible, but it doesn’t refer to anything in the real world, only to something else in the world of language.
So, I do not want to come across like a pedantic ass-clown, but it is super important to keep two things in mind: 1. you can do things with language that you cannot do with the real world, and 2. language changes apace with the real world. Take a term like ‘ass-clown’. I use it now with impunity, unconcerned as to its potential effects on others and on my reputation. Would I have, even just a few years ago?

Hey, AI pro’s, does sentience bring with it madness? Seriously, I mean, it seems our terrestrial consciousness suffers this often, around the globe, across the ages, the examples too numerous. So, do we really want to build machines that can go crazy? I mean, considering how much damage a single person can do, and machines amplify our basic human powers, right? I mean, geez. Maybe the best way to get better thinkers out there is to raise them rather than try to build them.

I keep getting this comic-book impression, right outside my field of vision, while I’m doing the mundane, the dishes, shit like that, and it’s a rectangle, tinted light grey, maybe, with the single word:
