AI consciousness is stirring up debate again.
@tristangreene.bsky.social's recent article digs into Jonathan Birch’s AI Consciousness: A Centrist Manifesto.
Birch challenges us to think about whether we can even define consciousness in AI yet, or if it’s too early to tell.

The conventional wisdom says that AGI requires embodiment, that it must live inside a robot body to truly develop. New research and philosophical takes are challenging this fundamental assumption.
What if physical embodiment is a dead end for AGI?

An AGI lacking Moral Intelligence is just a high-stakes liability waiting to happen. 💥
In his recent article for us, Wendell Wallach challenges the hype: Can we call it "general" if it can't recognize a unique ethical crisis or explain how it made a decision?

Manners are important. But is it more *polite* to spend tokens on "please" and "thank you" or to reward people's interactions with AI by generating outputs containing useful information?

I reviewed some fantastic research on using LLMs for medical diagnostics.
"A human’s medical diagnosis cannot be predicted. There are more than eight billion of us and we’re all different. A diagnosis is a systemic evaluation of variables, not the answer to a multiple-choice or 50/50 question."

I've been covering Colossal since it launched. Nothing it's doing has anything to do with "de-extinction" (a made-up word with no meaning).
Everyone wants dire wolves to come back. They're our lost best friends from prehistoric times.
But they're extinct. Genetic engineering can't change that.

Dire wolves are back from extinction? Nonsense and poppycock
Genetic engineering is important, necessary scientific work. But, claiming that you can reverse extinction is not only demonstrably wrong, it’s dangerous.
