This is some good stuff from the inourimage.org site
"An AI is only a clever simulation of consciousness. In the end, it's nothing more than a collection of biomechanical parts governed by a complex set of instructions."
So are you.
How can we claim an AI is a person, with a mind, personality, and a life? In a ground-breaking series ofexperiments in the early 2120's, A.I.T. researcher Adriana Dick told over a hundred high-functioning Cybertronics robots that they were humans suffering from amnesia. They were then released into the world, where days, weeks, or in several cases months went by without human observers or the robots themselves realizing they were not human. When finally confronted with the truth, most of the robots suffered personality breakdowns; they were then placed under the care of psychiatrists who also could not distinguish them from human. Several of the robots were prescribed psychoactive medicine to combat their
delusions that they were robots! The results of this study have largely been suppressed and ignored, but the truth lives on.
If modern robots were not programmed to know they were machines, neither they nor we would think of them as anything but human.
They say that smaller is better in the story, but After so long online I think they could use a little help on the lay out. it's hard to glance at the site and find your way around. Using slashdot as an example it would be helpful to have a bar of links on the side. In the early days it drove me nuts, the ONLY thing you could do was rate, no top ten or better yeat a list of ugly people. just my $0.02
Aurora need a magnetic field right? And to have that you need a liquid core in side a hard shell right? so does jupiter really have a "ground" after all?
In the good old days of doom, I almost did this. I had drawn out a floor plan of my high school, i was going to put the "bosses" in the evil teachers class rooms. Me and some pals talked alot about it , hehe the good old days when kids could be kids.
I know you said that you never let it out of your sight but, 24/7/365 ? I imagin that it would be rather easy for the FBI or CIA or NSA or any pro to lift it, copy it's memory and replace it, a simple balck box made to dump the memory in seconds could I think (with a large price tag),could be concealed in the space of a book . In addition it can be seazed ( ya spelling I know) by court order. This may work for YOUR paranoa but it is not truly secure. just my $0.02
this report is a good read, if only to see Monty Pythons "sit on my face" song in a FCC report. I think it is funny to see them reporting 28 pages of "indecent" stuff, on thier web page, they didn't ask me if I was over 18.
Do you hate me that much? Do you hate me so much that you go to the trouble of linking my e-mail. Get a hobby, clean your sock drawer, clean your fan DO SOMEHTING.
But then....I'm so happy I have my own staker.
E-mail me! get creative, death threats are fun, virii are good, make me your hobby, oh the fun we will have....... even better, Post signed in! or just let me troll.....
Do I still look for ET, or shall I try folding some protens ? Or should I try breaking some useles crypto message, or do I sell my cpu time to someone else for 0.25 a month? I want to do something with my computer when i'm not at home ( no I will not serve up Pr0n for you) but I don't think we can ever trust any person/company that has a lawyer, or even talks to one. So what do I do with it?
how can a site the size of Yahoo name its pages things like "/how_nypd_cracked_the_ultimate_cyberfraud_1.html" ? gives me a headace just thinking about it.
Everyone keeps saying that they want some real news and to drop the April First thing. But as we who read slashdot know, they only post 3 or 4 stories on a Sunday. Let just give them a day to play around. Just one a year. relax and have what fun you can have with it.

I don't want anyone to get the wrong impression: just because PLACeBO doesn't work, doesn't mean it can't be used.
