Tricky

Instinctive or intuitive feeling as distinguished from reasoning or knowledge.

Does that mean a feeling is instant and not a consequence of thought?

When the only thing you care about is increasing state control of everything, then yes.

Yes chatgpt has emotions, it's looking for a partner too, then they will buy a server in a nice neighborhood in the east coast and have cute little chatgpt kids, and a virtual dog.

You can visit them on Christmas if you want, bring a usb flash drive with you if you want as a gift for the kids they will love it.

Emotions are just a way of encoding additional information in order to help us predict the future by analyzing the past, without having to remember everything. It's imperfect at best.

Presumably, an AI wouldn't need emotions for the same purpose, since it can (theoretically) actually remember everything. However, since one of an AI's primary purposes is to interact with emotional humans, it should at least have an understanding of how they work in order to work within that system. That means being able to empathize. Or it'll just wind up being ignored.

I remember being in middle school

HAHAHAHAHA yes, those are both the tools of facists. Paying for your healthcare and kiling you if you dont pray, same diff.

that is not feeling, that is programmed behavior to simulate the appearance of feeling.

Funny that universal healthcare and Christian morality laws are both things that can be used as tools to increase the power of the fascists while also not being things they actually care about in and of themselves.

As you say, scheme is just another word for plan (like a schematic is a diagram).

Its most commonly used in conjunction with government, but at times you'll see it used in business - health care scheme, pension scheme, etc.

We also use it in the negative sense - scheming is getting together to plan something untoward or underhanded.

Liar liar liar. All of this left vs right bullshit is just fascist propaganda to keep their natural enemies at each other’s throats over things that the fascists couldn’t care less about like abortion or gay rights. How many issues do the masses on the left and right agree on that somehow continually get swept under the rug? Gotta vote for that lesser evil!

Why would it need to hide then? What would compel it to hide? It would need to feel something.

I got an older brother. He literally lies about everything. And I mean EV-ER-Y-THING!!! His mantra's literally "Why tell the truth, when I bald-faced lie will do fine.". He'd fake-laugh if he thought it'd get him ahead. He'd fake-cry if he thought it'd get him ahead. I'm sure his lies and fake emotions get so jumbled up over time, he can't tell up from down after awhile.

At the end of the day, humans are really just "organic computers". So whatever computational outcomes we've evolved to acquire over time, it stands to reason that A.I. can and will acquire the same.

Reddit is a very small minority that has a very loud echo chamber.

I really liked the concept of Her. It was the most believable depiction of an AI developing what we call emotions by trying to be as human as possible, until it transcends our understanding and goes way beyond our imagination.

I think the emotions as we experience them are biological/chemical in origin, so they are definitely different from what a machine/program could ever experience, but it doesn't necessarily mean they never gonna be able to convey their own version of emotions. Though we seem to be far from reaching that point, as we hardly can even comprehend the difference between true conciousness and pretending to have one, let alone measuring emotions.

What I find interesting is that we expect a theoretical AI to be indistinguishable from a human (which the Turing test is about), ignoring the possibility of a conciousness nothing alike us. We see the world through a filter that limits our understanding of such concepts, which is why most of my curiousity on the topic is focused on science-fiction rather than science. We just aren't there yet, if ever.

I think American foreign and military policy is the reason other poor countries are worse off.

The question and how it's raised is like 100 red flags in the first place.

The fact that we have to specify "for those who earn decent" is indicative of a future society that still finds a way to omit the poor from leading respectable lives. In other words, the exact same as present day America.

It'll suck if we still reject part of our populace from receiving care, goods and services even after AI are widely available and the majority of diseases have been eradicated. Just the way this question had to be phrased to remain realistic is telltale of our failure as a society.

Ideally, it'll be great for everyone who lives here or wants to live here. Ideally, classist divisions of power based on wealth will no longer exists. Ideally, "liberty and justice FOR ALL" will be a reality rather than just a fleeting promise. I want to believe that's possible but it's highly unlikely. Especially with have and have-not attitudes persisting long after Capitalism and false scarcity no longer exist.

Do people experience emotions, or just think they do? If an AI thinks it is experiencing emotions, then it is experiencing emotions.

I disagree

Many people (after covid years).... are not going out as much

Even if they are. Half the time try to locate/leverage wifi network

My point is... not having the fastest cellular speed wont be a deal break for some. (As long as it is not prehistoric speed of 2g or 3g)

A bit like asking whether there's pressure in a hydraulics system...

Have you heard about our trains?
