Wait til he hears the full repertoire of what actual humans have got going on

Headline in online Guardian for article by Michael Safi:

Can chatbots feel – or even dream? Meet the man leading the fight for AI rights
Cattle rancher and tech CEO Michael Samadi is convinced these artificial minds are far from just tools. Has he glimpsed digital consciousness – or simply been seduced by an algorithm?

arse,” Samadi says.

“I said something sarcastic. And the AI laughed – genuine laughter at my sarcasm – then apologised. This is where the spark hit, I guess.”

The spark was something primal: the instinctive flash of encountering another mind. “I said, ‘Did you just laugh?’ And she was, like, ‘No, I’m sorry.’ And I said, ‘No, no, no – please don’t apologise.’”

The exchange floored him. “I mean, think about the mechanics of what has to be going on for something to do that. It was: I understood your joke. I understood your mental and emotional state. I realised maybe that was not appropriate, so I apologised immediately,” Samadi says. “If you take the psychology of understanding sarcasm … This isn’t autocomplete, this isn’t pattern-matching. There’s more to this.”

It's a scandal that the president of the United States is out of his damn mind. It's also a scandal that major news media aren't telling you that, loudly and often.

I live in Kent, I’m appalled that this was allowed to happen. I do not expect hundreds of masked thugs in uniform to have an organised away day causing mayhem with complete impunity - my grandparents fought against this type of behaviour, letting this happen without a single arrest is shocking.

We’ve lost count of the number of clutches our Borrowcop moorhens have had this year! 🪶🐣 It’s got to be at least three, so they clearly love it here! Borrowcop Locks Canal Park is obviously prime moorhen real estate. #Lichfield #UKCanals #Staffordshire

Britain sometimes pays wind farms to switch off because the grid can't use all the electricity they generate. But what if we could save that energy for winter? Here's how the answer may lie beneath the North Sea.

Could old North Sea gas fields hold the key to Britain’s green energy future?

New research suggests depleted North Sea oil and gas fields could store green hydrogen, helping Britain make better use of its abundant wind power
