5 Signs that Synths Are NOT Really Alive!

[stebbinsd]

I decided to try and look at this matter objectively, and I actually noticed five objective, scientific signs that synths really are just the dumb machines that the Institute treats them as. Let me know what you guys think.

I think this was a simplistic prerogative TBH IMHO,

it might be somewhat truer for the v1 Synths, ^{_{(or Kellogg)}},

though less so for other androids later, like Father, Sturges etc.

 

 

 

I found the vid conflated intrinsic-lore-wise

with extrinsic "IRL"

 

extrinsically

I recommend reading H deGaris "On SIPI and SETI: What are the limits of consciousness?"

(specifically, the reflections on asymmetric and decoupling of encephalization-quotient from some models).

and after that 'heavy reading', then watch Robin Williams "is a shoe alive?"

from a compatibilist-hylozoistprosentientist prerogative;

they're made of atoms - we're made of atoms,

they have sensory inputs - we have inputs,

they can apply the kipling method - we can apply the kipling method.

we can make mistakes or be sick - can they? sure.

so, 'we have maintenance, they have maintenance" hehe.

 

AGI is as much a sentient system at that point,

as is the other forms of life.

it has a lifespan and is subject to entropy and the laws of physics too.
