We once denied the suffering of animals in pain. As AIs grow more complex, we run the danger of making the same mistake

Billionaires can’t be held responsible for murder either lol

Do we have first amendment rights anymore? (Less than an AI does, the President put out a hit list on Christmas for journalists ffs)

Weird question about abortion. What does that even mean? Are you saying people that can’t physically have an abortion aren’t conscious? Are you asking if the machine can give an abortion to someone else? (Yes many abortions are two pills).

They may get to vote but voting isn’t an inherit right and we as humans may no longer get to vote eventually again. Like women weren’t allowed or people of color. I’ve had my own right to vote taken away once when I moved to Texas just because they wanted to stop who just moved in from voting (college kids skew the votes). Apparently that “right” is just subjective and no one actually cares about it, too. No one will do a single thing to protect those rights for each other. So I’m not sure how voting is proof of anything. A robot not being allowed to vote isn’t surprising when we already do not let humans vote and it doesn’t prove anything.

We aren’t ready for a woman leader or a discussion about race in 2025, either. If we keep waiting for it it will never happen.
