You would have to look up the meaning of anthropomorphism if it’s not clear.

I don’t think it’s useful to anthropomorphise it.

What’s the point?

That’s been a raging debate, an existential exercise. In real world conditions, we have free will, freeer than it’s ever been. We can be whatever we will ourselves to believe.

Gotta quit anthropomorphising machines. It takes free will to be a psychopath, all else is just imitating.

I don’t think a device will ever have a thought. I find it somewhat akin to a belief in the anamism of objects, that it will aquire some form of life force of its own. What a thought is, is a complete mystery. Nobody knows why they happen, where they come from. So, who is even to determine whether an inamimate object is exhibiting signs of consciousness? There are some people that believe it, others are just running a con.

You should only piss on the lawn when it’s raining, helps dilute the nitrogen so you don’t get those pee burns that turn the grass brown.

Also Diaspora.

A bit of dementia.

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ha-ha-ha!

I think it depends on the definition of own, if it can be sold to someone else who will then own it. If it doesn’t have value like that, then it is just something you have, like pocket lint.

I think the first was back in 1920, The Rossums Universal Robots factory. It failed when the robots rose up and killed everbody.

So am I, but I don’t act like this.
