it may be an honest question, but surely a stoopid question.

I don’t understand your second paragraph and how it relates to what I said.

What about what I said depends on stepping outside space and time?

Do you think I meant that an automata could copy me? thats not really what i was talking about.

im not so sure the devs have fault in any of this though

saying somethins is being sabotaged isnt the same as saying it is failing. The sabotage must be successful for it to fail.

there isnt so much incentive. No advertisement. Upvote counters behave weirdly in the fediverse (from what i can see).

It seems weird to me that the null-hypothesis there should be that dogs are non-sapient. It seems to be common for scientists to default on non-existence until evidence of existence is found. But in some situations existence and non-existence should have equivalent weights. In the field of mathematics, the existence of a thing can be logically equivalent to the non-existence of another thing, and we dont know which of the two exists, but we cant default to assuming neither of the two. Science is a bit different from pure mathematics though, but im not sure in what ways.

Very well said!

This is exactly what puzzles me. Or at least you seem to be talking about what puzzles me. The problem is that when I mention this to others, most missunderstand what I mean by “being aware” or “conscious”, and im not sure its possible to refer to this phenomena in a much better way. But that is exactly the argument i usually make, that an automata could behave exactly like me, following the supposed physical laws, but without being aware, or having any sensation, without seeing the images, hearing the sounds, only processing sensorial data. Processing sensorial data isnt the same as feeling/hearing/seeing it.

cant you read the content?
