lol, if you can't tell if it's AI or human then it's probably mentally ill, AI or not. it seems to me that consciousness is purely the ability to simulate and navigate the world and not a lot else, it's self awareness and the degrees of self awareness that separates us from most creatures, but i think that can be the illusion that a complex simulation will provide. 17:50 i'm glad someone has pointed this out. we are basically still cavemen, our biology is set up for fight or flight still, toxic situations which were meant to be dealt with over the sapce of hours or minutes, we endure for days weeks or months, stress reaction - and the chemistry of sexual desires - are almost unecessary in the modern world. fighting over a parking space will be the biggest problem to overcome, if you're going to walk off to your meeting and leave the car to find a parking space, given how people behave... 33:35 i think people get the rarity of life the wrong way round. i think that life pops up everywhere all the time, that it's common as muck, the problem though is it gets killed off more than it survives. take thermal vents, there are still hard at work today, and could possibly be spewing out new forms of life, but, it all gets killed off by what's already here. i think if circumstances were favourable there would be life all over the universe, everywhere we went, but the vast, vast majority of it doesn't take hold. i firmly believe we have to get off this planet asap, ideally turn it into a nature preserve, but we can't put all our eggs in one basket.
