How disappointing must it be to be wiped out by a species that eats laundry detergent out of boredom

To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture.

Down at the bottom of the ocean. Beneath tons of brine which would crush you down. Not into broken and splintered flesh, but into thin soup. Into just more of the sea water. Where things live that aren't so different from you, but you will never live to touch them and they will never live to touch you.

It's goddamn lonely, and why I'm a huge advocate for extending sapient rights to anything that could rightfully claim it, parrots, cetaceans, cephalopods, elephants, and our cousin apes.

And AI
I agree. Intelligence is not a human only trait. Intelligences, whether their bodies are organic or not, should be given rights

How is this bleeding over? Loud Whispers said that rights should be extended to anything that could claim it. I mentioned that I agree, and that AI could claim them.

And pragmatic rationale applies.

In the case of AI rights its to help prevent the creation of skynet and terminators. :)

Actually I said that they should extend, and yes, when an AI is able to do so it should apply.
