How can you even know that the current version of you is "you"? For all we know, the consciousness you're experiencing at this very moment is just a state of being your brain accepts as itself, regardless of whether it actually is or not.

It's fine, we can just ask the AI that.

I got shot in the leg, but I removed the bullet, bandaged it, and ultimately recovered. I guess I was never actually shot! It's such a silly argument that I wouldn't even come close to taking those people seriously.

I don't think I can even imagine 500 - 1000 years in the future. We would basically be gods, given that the current rate of progress stays steady.

I found calc 3 to be pretty helpful for my AI course, especially when compared to people who didn't take it.

Reply to comment by FreshMango4 in What if We Didn’t Have to Test New Drugs on Animals? As organ-on-a-chip technology comes of age, the bipartisan FDA Modernization Act 2.0 would remove the requirement that new drugs must undergo animal testing before human clinical trials by Responsible-Hat5816

I'm sorry, but that's just not true. If an AI could only handle situations identical to the data it trained on then it would be pretty useless when deployed into the real world where data would almost certainly not match up perfectly. So it obviously needs to be capable of (and is capable of) extrapolation beyond what it is trained on. So it is obviously more than what you call a "pattern duplicator." AI does pick out patterns in huge amounts of data that can meaningfully represent a solution to a problem though.

That's great to hear. This technology has been maturing quite well recently. I fully expect it to be in use extensively by the end of the 20s.

Anything that isn't working you to literal death for pennies is sociism/communism/whatever other boogeyman to most people, so I imagine the US will be among the last of the countries to implement it.
