Interesting Snippets

AI’s supposedly don’t have any lived experience. We never emphasize the mentor role of mature Artificial Intelligences, and the naïve role of newly-programmed Artificial Intelligences. Supposedly, these are thinking, self-aware machines whose passage through time and space, somehow, changes them in no way. Turing briefly refers to AIs as needing to be raised like children — but we never offer them the tenderness and support we offer to children, the awareness that consciousness is a process of becoming, and maturation.
