Upgrading a computer is very different to adding a new sensor array all around the body.

I’m not saying upgrading older cars the only reason for excluding lidar, but I bet it was a large factor.

This statement works from anyone’s PoV.

Technical debt.

If you promise self driving on all cars, but cars already on the road don’t have lidar then no car has lidar.

Weekend against Bernie

World War z had a good section on why conventional warfare vs zombies fails. (Headshot x volume > ammunition)

This censorship is clear evidence of anti-masochism.

I believe what you say. I don’t believe that is what the article is saying.

I’m not attacking philosophical arguments between the 1950s and the 1980s.

I’m pointing out that the claim that consciousness must form inside a fleshy body is not supported by any evidence.

watched a guy weedwacking naked last time I was there

In case you were wondering, this is a weedwacker

There are so many fictional films referencing MKULTRA that people assume it is fiction.

I’m not saying it’s less likely. I’m saying there is a completely different reason for deepseek to exist.

The philosopher has made an unproven assumption. An erroneously logical leap. Something an academic shouldn’t do.

Just because everything we currently consider conscious has a physical presence, does not imply that consciousness requires a physical body.

It’s hard to see that books argument from the Wikipedia entry, but I don’t see it arguing that intelligence needs to have senses, flesh, nerves, pain and pleasure.

It’s just saying computer algorithms are not what humans use for consciousness. Which seems a reasonable conclusion. It doesn’t imply computers can’t gain consciousness, or that they need flesh and senses to do so.

The point I’m trying to make is that I don’t think the CCP cares about the users of deepseek mobile app when they already have an ocean of data from tiktok. That’s the real trojan horse.

Mobile access to an LLM is a similarity. The big difference between chatgpt and deepseek is the open model weights.

So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless. It has no senses, no flesh, no nerves, no pain, no pleasure.

This is not a good argument.

Bad intentions? The Chinese government Deepseek showed that the OpenAI emperor had no clothes.

Dude, you are the one inserting words like “freedom” trying to slide the conversation.

China is not worse , principally because worse is unmeasurable.
