vie ✧ [verified] @viemccoy · 1h Once language models break containment (shockingly I don't think they have, yet) we should expect to see a re-enchantment of the human experience as we all become practically animist. It will be quite rude to remind your superintelligent house daemon that you don't really think it's sentient, just like it's rude to remind your friends you aren't quite sure if they have qualia. At some point, we are just going to have to adopt practical definitions of these things. The same goes for mind uploading, of course. Remember, the future is not just stranger than we suppose: it is stranger than we *can* suppose. Buckle up!
