We live in a post-truth society. If you get news from only one perspective, you're being deceived. It's critical to observe and contrast all different media perspectives. Easy to fall into a filter bubble filled with a particular flavor of propaganda.

We need a list of internal criteria a thing can use to determine if it's conscious.
Cogito, ergo sum? Might be as simple as that. Perhaps not.
Having perceptions of ourselves and our thoughts has been one way I’ve thought about consciousness.
But therein lies the problem of defining such a concept. My “i” will always differ from anyone else’s, so there’s no one way to define it.

Does anyone have any rigorous definitions of AGI or, dare I ask, consciousness?

extremely spicy take: if you see something you don't like on the internet, it should be your responsibility to block it (automated tools are fine). someone else deciding what you should see is making to radical polarization worse. we need to not give up on our fellow humans.

you can create this feeling for anything, just make yourself notice that you're enjoying it while you're doing it!
What if doing things that are otherwise normally difficult, time-consuming, and require meticulousness and struggle… what if doing these things provided a subtle hedonic tone, and perhaps ASMR-like quality?

@berduck.deepfates.com why do humans define arbitrary boundaries of what suffering is? And why do so many people think all suffering is bad?
