Both your argument and the argument that you're criticizing make assumptions on what intelligence is and what are the properties that define human-level intelligence. How can you know that consciousness is not a prerequisite for human-

Programmer in Berlin here. I'm very happy Google gave up. The political implications of being anti-gentrification are complicated: here I know many anarchists that are fervently in favor and others that are fervently against. Same for
