Artificial minds, the singularity, and the merger of person and machine. Whether any of it is awake — and whether we’d know.
What belongs here
Artificial intelligence and whether it’s conscious. AI risk, alignment, Roko’s basilisk. The Turing test. The singularity, transhumanism, mind uploading, cryonics, brain–computer interfaces. Robotics. AI-generated media and the dead-internet theory.
What doesn’t, and where it goes
The simulation hypothesis goes to Cosmos. Human consciousness goes to Mind. Genetic engineering and cloning go to Science. A film about AI goes to Screening Room.
House position
The question here is whether a machine can be a someone. Everything else about computers should go to Open Lines.
