Good thing I always carry an extra.
RedReader app works, theres no ads. Im just a passive user of Reddit nowdays, mainly seeing whats up in local city subs as far as news and events. Theres not very much of that on Lemmy yet. If I were to comment in the Lemmy community thats local to my hometown it would probably be like “Hey, are you so an so from the east end?” 😄
Just had a Black Sabbath flashback, Mob Rules. Must have been something in the acid.
You would have to look up the meaning of anthropomorphism if it’s not clear.
I don’t think it’s useful to anthropomorphise it.
What’s the point?
That’s been a raging debate, an existential exercise. In real world conditions, we have free will, freeer than it’s ever been. We can be whatever we will ourselves to believe.
Gotta quit anthropomorphising machines. It takes free will to be a psychopath, all else is just imitating.
I don’t think a device will ever have a thought. I find it somewhat akin to a belief in the anamism of objects, that it will aquire some form of life force of its own. What a thought is, is a complete mystery. Nobody knows why they happen, where they come from. So, who is even to determine whether an inamimate object is exhibiting signs of consciousness? There are some people that believe it, others are just running a con.
“Don’t call that dog “lifesaver;” call him “shithead.””
Some didn’t make it. Like the Pony Express, they swapped horses.
