It's hilarious that they're still going without Jello Biafra.

fully conscious according to any test I can think of

There's no such thing as an actual test for consciousness in machines. We can do tests on animals to see if their sensory experience includes self-awareness, but we're already operating on the assumption that they have feelings and sensory experience because they have a brain and nervous system like us, and they're all directly related to us (as all organisms are). But that's totally different from designing a machine which mimics (or predicts/auto-completes) our observable behavior and then assuming that it "doesn't like" something or does anything "for fun."

What sucks is that some idiots are going to start falling for this. And eventually software will be given human rights, which actually means that the software's owners will have extra rights compared to the rest of us.

I think I'd rather just play the original
