Humans are machines. If ones made of metal become sentient why wouldn't they have rights?
Called it. You're a bot.
There is no fate but what we make for ourselves.
Do you always dehumanize those who disagree with you?
€6 says you've used the term "NPC" pejoratively.
No, just when I find it humorous.
And I'd take that bet ;)
You find dehumanizing others humorous? You should work on being less terrible.
Prove you never have and I'd pay you, otherwise I will forward you a list of charities you can send your loss to. sarcastic smiley
No, the dehumanizing part isn't the humorous part. I'm sorry if I offended you, most people I know personally would find it funny and not take offense. It was meant to be light-hearted, but maybe it didn't come off that way.
Why is the entire burden of proof on me? Shouldn't you have to prove I've never called a real person an "NPC?"
No, I shouldn't. I never claimed it was a particularly fair bet. Probably should check the terms before accepting.
Check the terms? You're adding new terms after the agreement was made. I call shenanigans!
Perhaps, but they are cheeky and fun-loving.
And the main point I was trying to make, which obviously got muddied by my misguided humor, is that we (in the US, at least) already classify corporations as "people," which is something I strongly disagree with.
I refuse to respect corporations like I respect human beings, and I don't think they deserve human rights or the influence they have over our government.
I don't think corporations are people either. You and I agree on that.
I do think I was correct in my read of the OP screenshot as indicating a desire to own and profit of the labor of a "person"—a position which should be examined and the underpinnings of which roundly rejected.
At a base level it's the same underpinning that inform people's desire to be landlords.
My mind went in a different direction when I read it. It made me think about the Citizens United ruling and how legal recognition (or lack of recognition) doesn't guide my moral compass. And practically speaking, I don't think AI would be legally recognized as a "person" unless it benefits the ruling class and widens the wealth gap.
I also disagree with your judgement. There are definitely red flags in the post, but I don't think it's fair to read between the lines and jump to conclusions based on one post. It could easily be a satire account.
