  • Yeah sorry I might’ve jumped the gun there, but I’m legitimately starting to contemplate peacing out of corporate America in general because all they can talk about is “using AI to increase productivity” (read as replace workers) and haven’t been able to escape the talk of whatever a human can do can be done by a computer (in the context of replicating monotonous computer-touching tasks).

    I guess the whole sentience vs non is a completely separate one entirely (and a moot one by the sound of it), but that has not stopped the powers that be from dumping as much money possible into these treat printers.

    And after all, this isn’t the first time I haven’t been able to outrun the propaganda. I guess it’s just becoming increasingly more difficult to sift through the bullshit and that’s another reason why I think the question of consciousness won’t matter in the short term. But we do know that consciousness is just the result of activity in the brain (and we can prove this with MRIs on stroke victims and such).







  • I had a nightmare that I think can be a good story

    I dreamed that everyone around me was getting the neuralink (and those people communicating with me knew I was asleep) and said it would be much better to be chipped while asleep so my consciousness could easily connect with the internet

    This thought especially fucks me up because tech bros are truly trying to emulate hell for the rest of us proles to live in. Like they’ve already polluted the outside world and they’re getting ready to colonize and destroy the digital sphere as well
