Could machines develop consciousness just like we did? by bookie in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

That’s true. Every living organism could be conscious on some level if you think about it.

I think about this but like, I’m not sure if it’s a stupid question so I’ll put it here.

Would you rather be reincarnated into a world of magic or reborn as yourself (with your current knowledge fully intact)? by bookie in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[-] bookie@quokk.au 3 points 2 weeks ago

I'd rather be reborn as myself with my current knowledge, that way I have more time to learn. I'd do so many things differently.

A letter Samuel Butler penned to the Editor of the Press, Christchurch, New Zealand, on 13 June, 1863.

It’s interesting because he talks about machines in a way that we would modern AI and robotic systems.

It’s hard because there seems to be no place to hang out and meet people either. Not for a date, just to chill and make friends.

What is your favorite genre to write? by bookie in c/keepwriting@lemmy.world
[-] bookie@quokk.au 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, medieval fantasy! I also like writing historical settings. My current novel is set in the 1850s. So, kind of early Victorian era. It’s pretty fascinating to research!

I’ve been writing since 2011, and I started out being really interested in fantasy. Then I dabbled in romance and sci-fi. Now here I am writing a gothic romance of sorts. But I’m curious, what genres have you all dabbled in?
