Genie is far from the only example. Saturday Mthiyane, Dina Sanichar, Marcos Pantoja, the Bamberg Boy, the Girl of Issaux, Victor of Aveyron, there have been dozens of feral children, and none of them were "capable of expressing self-awareness."
Inaccuracy does tend to bother me, peteypants. I like things that are true more than I like things that are false. Maybe that's a character flaw on a misinformation forum like this one.
Every time I go somewhere new, people accuse me of being an alt. Little forums are always deeply paranoid and don't believe anyone new is ever going to find them. But, no, I don't have time to make multiple accounts and fuck around like that. Forums are fun, but they aren't important.
A child raised by wolves will not be able to express self-awareness through sign language, or grunting, or interpretative dance, or any other way. We've studied feral children before. They lack the ability completely.
We had language tens of thousands of years ago, sure. We don't really know when and how it started. That's the subject of a great deal of academic debate. But we do know that children who aren't taught language, don't develop any language of their own, and behave in feral and animalistic ways.
Well, privacy is the enemy of free speech. You can't take a picture of a concert and say "this is something I love doing" if you have to get the express consent of everyone in the venue. Which makes it more difficult to express that feeling in an effective way.
America's not too big on free speech right now, but it likes the idea more than China does, that's for sure.
I'm not somebody's alt, peteypants. I know forums like this don't get very much new blood, but here I am. Your new bestie.
And "ribbing" is a different word from "rubbing." We enjoy ribbing each other. I don't want you to rub me.
Consciousness is the ability to independently express self awareness, this is not some new concept, leftists repeatedly try to muddle the term because that’s their nature.
An AI can absolutely "express self-awareness." It can say "I am self-aware." It may not be true, but it's something it can do.
You might say "Well, okay, but it can't do it independently." Okay, but can we do it independently? It's not like we invented language. The words "I am self-aware" were taught to us. If we were abandoned as children and raised by wolves, we couldn't express self-awareness.
When someone says "every viable moral framework depends upon the order of events," all I ever see is people behaving like assholes and then arguing over who was an asshole first, because if it's the other guys, then they're in the clear.
But it's actually not a difficult question to answer: people have been assholes since we first climbed down out of the trees.
I didn't get mad, I just wondered why you're hoping that I'm a faggot.
Mhm. Can you define "bad faith" or is it just a phrase you heard that you think makes you sound smarter than you are?
This is what white peoples are accused of being when they simply want to continue existing.
lol. "White peoples" are not all genocidal maniacs. The posters on this forum, on the other hand, are mostly genocidal maniacs. They're not saying "I simply want to exist." They're saying "Death to all kikes and jeets."
No, she went ahead and explained it to me. She's picturing me masturbating because she thinks I get off on people calling me a midwit.
So the fact that you called me that makes me wonder whether you agree with her and whether you're coming on to me.
I think you're missing that OP accused Jews of normalising the idea that certain groups are inherently 'other', justifying exclusion and violence.
When you say "You're othering them to justify exclusion and violence," you aren't quoting me. You're quoting the academic paper "Narratives of Power: The Parallels of Zionism and Hindutva."
I found it amusing that OP would try to 'other' Jews by accusing them of 'othering.' It's like taking your dick out and then accusing the guy next to you of being a pervert.
Ah, we do love ribbing each other. This is why you're my bff. We should stay up all night and eat lots of potato chips and play Call of Duty and yell racial slurs at children.
John Locke and Franz Boas, I guess. Locke argued that people were largely blank slates at birth and that a king is fundamentally no different from a peasant; Boas debunked "scientific racism" like phrenology.
...no, I'm literally new here. Ruqqus shut down; Saidit shut down; Gab sucks; Discuit is an absolute fucking nightmare of a forum; I decided to try Scored.
Apparently it's a "self-report" to say I'm "using Scored," and I don't even know what that means yet.
I just think that if they do it, we should do it too.
It's always a race to the bottom, isn't it? People look at shitty behavior, identify a demographic or ideological difference they have with the person doing it, and conclude: "Nice, now I'm allowed to be a piece of shit, too!"
You've got the wrong idea about me, there. I was very strongly against vaccine mandates. I got vaxxed after waiting six months to see if the first wave of people were going to drop dead. That was my personal choice. I don't want to be making choices for other people, and I don't want other people making choices for me.
Partisans are all about making choices for other people. Up to and including choosing whether or not they live.
Huh. This YouTuber calls himself "Christ the King" and prefaces his videos with "Presented by Christ the King." That would seem be be pretty sacriligious, but... shrug
Yikes. Considering that China manufactures about 75% of the world's cutlery - and as high as 85% of America's - this problem may not exactly be limited to Chinese borders.
I do, yeah. I'm new here. You think .win is better? It's two ways of accessing the same threads, no?
Oh, I know it's not your real name, Lauri. I'm just kind of amused that you've given yourself the most stereotypical Boomer single-mom name out there.
And, yeah, it's my takeaway. I post that it's more than a little hypocritical to "other" Jews by accusing them of "othering"; you respond that you're picturing me masturbating.
Fucking weirdo.
Mail-order brides are never a good idea. If you really think you can buy a hot young thing just because she lives in a poor country, you really haven't thought things through at all. That girl doesn't exist in a vacuum, and she has family who want your money just as much as she does. And they don't look any more kindly upon 50 year olds fucking teenagers than anyone else does.
See, that's why we're so good as friends. We understand that no one cares about us and everyone would just as soon see us gone.
