I wonder what that thing is, and if the writer thinks it's a machine-vs-nature issue or a humans-vs-all-other issue. FWIW I don't believe the assertion in the slightest. I do believe it is quite likely to have an AGI that does not recognizably exhibit conciousness but that, to me, is irrelevant.
- hood_syntax 10y agoThat's fair, I understand your stance on that, and definitely agree with you on the AGI.
