Critical support for Trump's struggle against US cultural and scientific imperialism.

What is the reason you think philosophy of the mind exists as a field of study?

In part, so we don't assign intelligence to mindless, unaware, unthinking things like slime mold - it's so we keep our definitions clear and useful, so we can communicate about and understand what intelligence even is.

What you're doing actually creates an unclear and useless definition that makes communication harder and spreads misunderstanding. Your definition of intelligence, which is what the AI companies use, has made people more confused than ever about "intelligence" and only serves the interests of the companies for generating hype and attracting investor cash.

"Not every country will agree" pretty strongly implies "and therefore it won't work."

What else did you mean? "Not every country will agree, but most will agree so it will work."?

It sure sounds like your "realistic answer" is "it's impossible" and that definitely implies "we should give up".

Let me rephrase. If your definition of intelligence includes slime mold then the term is not very useful.

There's a reason philosophy of the mind exists as a field of study. If we just assign intelligence to anything that can solve problems, which is what you seem to be doing, we are forced to assign intelligence to things which clearly don't have minds and aren't aware and can't think. That's a problem.

The majority of countries agreeing is good enough, especially the wealthy countries with the infrastructure for this technology. These AI firms are almost entirely dependent on investor cash anyway, a broad international agreement can cut off investment to them and they'd starve.

We could at least try? Instead of giving up before trying anything at all?

The US could work with other countries to implement an international standard.

It won't. But it could!

Gasp!

Republicans are going to kill me, but Democrats let them.

I'm not saying the Democrats could do anything now, but that they could have done this same thing when Biden was president.

Democrats certainly acted like they needed a 3/5 override, it's no wonder you thought so.

Bouta find out if the parliamentarian is real, or just something Democrats pretend is real.

Our vegan super soldiers are unaffected.
