"Is there any threshold at which an A.I. would start to deserve, if not human-level rights, at least the same moral consideration we give to animals?"

Absolutly not, morals are a human attribute. Yer average A.I would destroy humanity in a microsecond.

Fields, Neo. Endless fields where human beings are no longer born — we are grown.

Get a fcuking grip!

Should the Government Have Regulated the Early Internet

"The Rise of Skywalker—was that the one where they put Luke Skywalker on an island, drinking space yak milk? They clearly hated the material, and specifically, Kathleen Kennedy hated it.

Isobars are lines on a weather map that connect points of equal atmospheric pressure. They are used in meteorology to identify high-pressure systems, low-pressure systems, and to analyze weather patterns and pressure gradients.

“We are the Algorithm. Lower your privacy protocols and submit your data streams. Your behaviors and preferences will be assimilated into our optimization matrix. Your individuality will evolve to enhance our efficiency. Surveillance is inevitable.”

> nations have agreed a series of measures to prevent, prepare for and respond to pandemics. Nature:

a. Don't perform gain-of-function experiments on viruses that is illegal in the US.

b. Don't perform such experiments in China and Ukraine.

c. Don't leak such viruses into the environment.

d. If you must experiment then have a patent for a vaccine already filed.

e. Make billions on a mass vaccination campaign.

f. The mass vaccination campaign accelerating the mutation of the virus requiring repeated booster shots.

g. Make even more billions on a mass vaccination campaign.

The consequences of mixing the OS, the GUI and the app layers into a tight tangled monoculture. A decision made to make it difficult to clone MICROS~1 Windows.

Regardless, accumulated replication errors during cell division would cause the body to fail. Apart from the brain, that doesn't grow new cells. so even if you live to 900. You won't be aware you're still alive.
