Alright, I give. What the heck is "sapience"?
- seanhunter 3y agoGenerally people use that word to mean "wisdom" or at least "some reasoning ability distinct from what animals have". Edit to add: From a personal perspective I don't see any reason to think humans have qualitatively different reasoning abilities from animals, or a unique "soul" or anything like that, so the term "sapience" doesn't really have a special resonance with me like it might for someone who thinks those things. That may affect some judgements here I don't know.
- coldtea 3y agoYou know, the capacity of though/intelligence/understanding the world? As in "homo sapiens" (same latin root)
- furyofantares 3y agoSounds by a wide margin even less well defined than AGI or sentience
