Fair issues, but none of them impact the fundamental point. I'm not trying to make a point on touch vs. visual sensing or with regard to consciousness (time shifting of visual input is a thing, which could be impactful here, see "

Still not as unbelievably slow as signals in our body. If you hook up a fiber connection from a button to an LED, then stub your toe on the button, the fiber can be thousands of kilometers long and you'll still (via the LED) see that

I did not mean that, but I'll take it as agreement that we've already achieved AGI if that is defined as being on average more intelligent than average humans.

I'm not the one reacting to reasonable behavior with some edgy comment containing broken logic. The author of the Twitter thread is not some egotistical attention seeker and never said "omg I’m quitting they’re going to kill every

I don't know. I speak mostly from my own experience and that of my friends. For me personally reading is still interesting and can be very engaging, but due to the logic of the story, characters, and universe; for lengthy description

I think the goal was at least in part explicitly to increase economic integration with newly democratic Russia in a(n apparently vain) attempt to prevent war. The actions of Russia (and now the USA and Israel) really fucked a lot of countri

This is quite common if you have full on aphantasia. I have a friend who only reads fiction for which he's seen the accompanying show first because he otherwise has no visual reference for the characters and environments.

That's a very valid and hard question. You do immediately frame it in a non neutral way, which is unhelpful. There are good reasons to still have a significant amount of personal freedom in spending earned money: we have an economic sy

Have you tried doing what I suggested? As an addendum to what I said to your sibling commenter: people in developed countries take a lot of shit for granted. Of course there is a judicial system. Of course sewage is properly dealt with.

Have you tried? Because most people judge these things based on feelings rather than data and actual numbers. Those feelings are almost always a bad heavily skewed representation of reality.

Does it harm other taxpayers if people are manipulated to believe that voting for Neofascists will make things better? Social media addiction is definitely much more detrimental to society than drug addiction, imho. Drugs aren't used b

I think this is stretching it quite a bit. I can go along with us having the tendency to determine the value of things in terms of money, but not with determining how virtuous somebody in terms of wealth. The former is morally neutral (even
