This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

See this GitHub page for a collection of sources about socialism, imperialism, and other relevant topics.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.

Conscious digital beings don’t exist, so you’re asking a speculative question about something that’s already very speculative. IMO it’s premature to give it serious consideration.

Also depending on how you define consciousness and its ability to exist in a simulation that fruit fly that had its brain copied identically and simulated might disagree with you lol

Idk why it shouldn’t be considered, it’s far more plausible than artificial superintelligence and there’s thousands of papers, books, etc on that.

I think the only reason why it hasn’t really been considered in the AI research space is because it doesn’t really pose an existential threat to humanity.
