We’re all just elementary particles being clumped together in energy gradients, therefore my little computer project is sentient—this is getting absurd.

Sorry, this is more about the discussion of this article than the article itself. The moving goal posts that acolytes use to declare consciousness are becoming increasingly cult-y.

We spent 40 years moving the goal posts on what constitutes AI. Now we seem to have found an AI worthy of that title and instead start moving the goal posts on "consciousness", "understanding" and "intelligence".

There ARE no jokes aloud on hn.

Look I’m no stranger to love. you know the rules and so do I… you can’t find this conversation with any other guy.

But since the parent was making a meta commentary on this conversation I’d like to introduce everyone here as Kettle to a friend of mine known as #000000

Is there reason to think language developers understand nullability?
