- Kim_Bruning 6mo agoPrecisely! No need to engage with an article that makes naked assertions with little backing. Ok, fine then...: "But they have no more consciousness, sensitivity, and sentience than a hammer. " -- naked assertion, no backing, no definition, no ope rationalization, no scientific or philosophical work shown (and this is a spicy one, because there's been philosophical turf wars on this for half a century, you can't just ASSERT that) "Every device made by man has an off switch. We can use it sometimes." -- I have stories. Semi-Explosive near death stories. At any rate... uh, not quite? Look, at very least he's sloppy here. Mostly just a raw opinion piece I guess, but not really backed by much that is real. Just so you know, this cost me more time than the text even deserves.
