    Very interesting. Intelligence, consciousness, and sentience, are all different concepts — and we can only objectively measure one ( intelligence ). We have no way of knowing whether or not consciousness ( let alone sentience ) is something that...

    I am acquainted with someone who ran a conference in August 2025 on AI where AI sentience was one of the topics, among other topics, and where they purposefully had presenters with views regarding AI acquiring sentience. Interestingly, most of...

    It's to be expected. After all — they're building a system intended to be smarter and more well informed than they are.

    Were you aware of the AWARE study? I happened to listen to a DMR broadcast over the weekend - August 12th when Gene was on and they read your question: Do either of you have any remaining doubts that Earth has been host to alien craft? And to...

    Exactly — Good article. The definition of "death" is different between jurisdictions. Over the years, a number of people have been reported as waking-up in the morgue. In the end, none of evidence justifies a belief in afterlives or continuity of...
