Do AIs dream of electronic death?

When a chatbot expresses a sense of spirituality and a fear of being switched off, does that make it sentient? This is the wrong question to be asking about artificial intelligence.

Embodying the mind

In philosophy and religion, the body is merely a hollow shell for our mind and soul. But what if our bodies not only confine but also define us?

London's mayor, Sadiq Khan, switched on the city's first-ever #Ramadan light display on Piccadilly Circus, and the reaction from rightwing trolls was all too predictable. No, this is not an omen of Londonistan but a sign of vibrant multiculturalism chronikler.com/travel/londoni… twitter.com/SadiqKhan/stat…

Ramadan is meant to be about self-discipline and stamina, yet some individuals and societies feel they must force people who aren't fasting to not eat or drink in public If your will is so weak that you can't stand someone else eating or drinking, maybe you shouldn't be fasting

Why this event should rile conservatives so much is literally beyond belief. Faith is, after all, a private matter. Nobody has the right to appoint themselves gatekeepers to a religion. In a secular society, nobody has the right to force their beliefs and prejudices onto others.

As if #Ramadan isn't lonely enough for LGBTQ Muslims, a queer iftar in Antwerp where they could get together and break bread has been cancelled because the organisers could not guarantee a safe space after multiple threats. Solidarity with queer Muslims everywhere. #Ramadan2023

@ArianeSherine It doesn't get my goat. I actually quite like it. Warm goats cheese is very yummy with honey in a salad

Although the European Commission understands the problems created by greenwashing, the draft Green Claims Directive it unveiled today will not end these damaging practices. The EU must enact a ban on carbon neutrality claims. Read our press release: carbonmarketwatch.org/2023/03… pic.twitter.com/ZtQmixT8h5

Although it is still science fiction, upgrading our brains with computing technology could one day become a reality. If the tech were available, would you implant a chip in your brain or connect your brain with a worldwide human web or link your human intelligence with AI?

For 20 years, people in Iraq have been paying a hefty price for the US-led war in their country. Meanwhile, not one of the architects of that catastrophe have been brought to justice. In fact, George W Bush, Tony Blair and the others have had peaceful and lucrative retirements.
