AI consciousness is stirring up debate again. @tristangreene.bsky.social's recent article digs into Jonathan Birch’s AI Consciousness: A Centrist Manifesto. Birch challenges us to think about whether we can even define consciousness in AI yet, or if it’s too early to tell. Link to article 👇

The conventional wisdom says that AGI requires embodiment, that it must live inside a robot body to truly develop. New research and philosophical takes are challenging this fundamental assumption. What if physical embodiment is a dead end for AGI? 🧵

An AGI lacking Moral Intelligence is just a high-stakes liability waiting to happen. 💥 In his recent article for us, Wendell Wallach challenges the hype: Can we call it "general" if it can't recognize a unique ethical crisis or explain how it made a decision? 🧵 #AI #AGI #MachineEthics #FutureofAI

I've been covering Colossal since it launched. Nothing it's doing has anything to do with "de-extinction" (a made-up word with no meaning). Everyone wants dire wolves to come back. They're our lost best friends from prehistoric times. But they're extinct. Genetic engineering can't change that.

The global economy could be tanking because people don't understand how chatbots work. That's not a metaphor. Trump's tariffs might have been miscalculated because the formula was generated by ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and/or Gemini.
