    I don’t think Mark Zuckerberg is conscious. Maybe that’s what so off about him. I think he might actually be a philosophical zombie. He’s just a stimulus response engine without an internal sense of self. The lights are on, but nobody’s home!

    I admit I’m torn here. On the one hand I think the future is to have AI ubiquitous and integrated into everything. On the other hand, fake AI ‘friends’ on a friend’s network sounds hideous.

      What are you torn about?

      Hammers are good tools, but throwing them at people without warning is unequivocally bad, nothing to be torn about.

      Oh, but it also means that with the help of a few bots, you can appear to have friends, while still being your normal introverted self. People who expect you to be a social butterfly, can continue to live under that illusion, and you don’t actually have to make any new friends in real life. I see that as a win-win for everyone.
