Could AI - and microwave ovens - be conscious?

Why does the Guardian pose this as a question? Just another idiot claiming that AI should have "rights".

Jason Arday didn’t harm anyone. The guy who led the social panic and hysteria aimed at Arday wants to bring back eugenics and eliminate Black people from elite institutions (and that’s likely just the beginning). So I’m not shedding any tears about his suspension.

'Children are dying’ as a result of US oil blockade. It needs to be lifted immediately.

“The role of Hasbara was to rationalise this brutality for global consumption. But as the flotillas continue to challenge the blockade, they accumulate small victories and deeply accelerate Israel’s popular global isolation"

Man, the number of people who think regulation can’t happen… the glasses run via apps they don’t run on their own, the apps have to get approval from App Stores, which can consider any terms for safety they want No reason the app stores can’t set terms that included stronger privacy protections

Humphreys needs to stop being a government spokesperson; Connolly is doing well but should stop saying "military industrial complex"; Gavin is just not up to it. #tonightvmtv #aras25
