- cercatrova 4y ago> We don't care what animals in the zoo think. Tangential to AGI, but don't we? Vegans seem to have quite a strong opinion on this assertion.
- dekhn 4y agoI spend a lot of time looking at the various primates and cuttlefish thinking very much about what they "think" and whether we could even conceptualize the self-awareness experience they seem to have.
- jessaustin 4y agoIt seems possible that we could eventually gain a better understanding of the intelligences of other species, but at this point most of our consideration of them is a fashioning of mirrors to better examine ourselves. This self-regard was the original purpose of zoos, and it still explains much of their existence.
