Dawkins points out how the goalposts have been moved from the Turing test without justification and claims it can be viewed as a test of consciousness.

Reminder that Dawkins is in the Epstein files

[-] StopTech@lemmy.today 28 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't found him in correspondence with Epstein, but Epstein did write "im in arizona with pinker dawkins venter". It seems most mentions of Dawkins are by Dawkins' and Epstein's mutual friend, atheist physicist Lawrence Krauss or Epstein's friend, new age leader Deepak Chopra.

Could be confused with Noam Chomsky but Dawkins appears up in the emails, probably with code names half the time: https://jmail.world/search?q=Dawkins

So is Jon Stewart. Your point?

You think that absolves either of them?

You think it implies guilt? Perhaps you haven’t understood that the files are a dump of any records the FBI has even tangentially connected with Epstein. If he mentioned watching Jon Stewart on TV once in an email, Stewart is in the files. It doesn’t even mean the mentioned person ever met Epstein or was aware of him.

So are a ton of people tho. That's kinda the point - the muddy water and whatnot

Yes, there are many people in the Epstien class.

But I'm not in there. Are you? Why make wholesale excuses for these people?

[-] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

You seem misinformed and emotional (understandably) about the topic, tbh

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
