This is one of the most interesting and problematic issues I've found in AI work.... if you have a perfect but fake simulation of consciousness, sentience, intelligence (whatever you want to call it), how can you tell that it isn't the real thing? Pretty interesting problem we're going to have to start answering soon(ish).

this is ridiculous, system will destroy itself long before we can do any of this

[Chris Balderston]

Complexity builds on complexity. So, as we develop technology, we us that tech in order to build even more complex tech. We then use that tech in order to build even more complex tech...and so on. This takes time, work and money.

(Tried to keep this short and simple).

Money will continue to be a limitation as long as we maintain our current economic system.

[Beau Guinta]

if there is a freedom to every conceivable limitation then what is stopping us from having it all besides time? Money? Ourselves?

[GuppyPal]
