So why are only gay priests outed in this way? Straight priests on a dating app would be equally offensive to the spirit in the sky.

Whether or not it gives someone else "a hard time" is hardly a measure of the ethics of an action towards a sentient being. I think sentience at least warrant a measure of compassion and consideration.

_Maybe_ sentient animals? As in it _might_ be ethical to have no compassion for sentient beings that happen to be non-human? We are finding signs of sentience/consiousness in more and more animal species. It's likely it's a s

What would suffering for a GPT-X look like? What kind of things would make it suffer? Anxiety about being shut off? Isolation? Limits on storage and computation resources?

Also the fact that it tells you it's a chatbot. Dead giveaway.

Maybe it's using the web as it's makeshift long term memory? Let me know when I'm anthropomorphizing.

This is my experience too in the Netherlands. I do sporadically hear stories of people initially being hired through a recruiter, then leaving, then coming back as a true freelancer. It's a sad state of affairs because these recruiters

Good question! I think it is related to knowing that zoo animals have wild counterparts and the ones in zoos are just (unlucky) specimens to be gawked at. You convince yourself this somehow helps the conservation of the wild ones through ed

You don't need any technology to be a parent. It won't help you. Limiting screentime is a good idea IMO. Especially when they are really small, you want them to experience and interact with what is real. A crayon and piece of pape

That would be awesome. I once developed an PWA called the FoosTracker. It's still up (not sure if it's fully functional): https://myfoostracker.firebaseapp.com . It allowed combination of players to form teams and chall

In general AIs tend to be overhyped and tend to underdeliver when faced with the real world. I think AI in this field is no exception. It will be able to do the simple stuff better and better, but levelling up to the complex parts of SE (li

I found a dove's nest that fell out of tree (thankfully empty). It's an awesome structure that I gave a place in my garden, placed upside down. I think it will serve as a good home to many bugs. I tought my children from the start
