  >So long as I know it uses AI generated vocals or instruments it's A-OK with me.

Can you not tell the difference?

If you can, do. If you can't, why?

Your dismissal has a magnitude less logical coherence than your premise.

"Democracy is when people vote the way I do, silencing them isn't censorship, youre all fascist/racist/*-phobic"

Pretending to pretend to care is even worse by any objective standard; do you not see the moral qualm you have indebted your own pathos?

And this is why we have watch dogs, resource monitoring, and kill buttons during the training of the H100's.

One training inference gone AWOL and it is well within plausibility that we have doomed ourselves before the circuits trip and the red lights glows.

I do not mean to discount this interesting iota, however, I had a similar realization when I was 7; whether it coinciding with learning of the Copernicus principle is merit or raw luck notwithstanding, I saw my siblings as none other than another family in another house: all others would view me, and us, as neighbors, and we are all side-characters in each others story.

That thought is "sonder" - although it differs from what you describe, it has some parallels.

Very cool.

I happen to be with Sagan on this one, although these ideas certainly are not mutually exclusive; in fact they are complimentary.

Consciousness is an innate emergent phenomenon that happens when you combine basic memory/context, recall, the collective evolutionary unconscious, and so many magnitudes of neurons.

In fact, he even gives dogs (and to some degree, cats) the exactly same specific pedigree of obviously being self-aware/conscious, yet commanding the traits that align with the most basic tenants of "religion": your dog thinks you are a fucking god.
