That's maybe the most helpful argument I read here, I think I should reconsider what neopronouns are about.

I think at that point one can choose to word sentences to not use pronouns at all

Looks satisfying

Maybe a rat brain project? I think the mapping of human may take longer, but yeah, once it happens interesting times are on the horizon

That'd probably change the world forever. Besides, it would likely be hunted by all the people who want to destroy it.

This, we need more samples (but please don't)

I feel like you're considering death penalty to be the default, but if the same logic is applied while considering lifetime in prison as the default, the result would be the opposite.

And considering that death of age looks to me more natural, I'm inclined to think no death penalty should be the default

Also, maybe in a world where you measure anyone with money it makes sense to measure intelligence with money ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A dog may be able to fully react and learn how to react with the exterior. But can it modify itself the way human brain can?

As per current psychology's view, yes, even if to a smaller extent. There are problems with how we define conscience, and right now with LLMs most of the arguments are usually related to the Chinese room and philosophical zombie thought experiments, imo

I'd say that difference between nature boiling down to maths and LLMs boiling down to maths is that in LLMs it's not the knowledge itself that is abstracted, it's language. This makes it both more believable to us humans, because we're wired to use language, and less suitable to actually achieve something, because it's just language all the way down.

Would be nice if it gets us something in the long run, but I wouldn't keep my hopes up

Nah, it's just a legacy of British colonialism, it's forbidden by the state to harm yourself in UK (half joking, because it really is a crime to harm yourself consensually)
