They can wire me like a computer terminal. Just give me the foods I like, sex, which has to be part of the study, and wire a lot of money to the Caymans. 
Ah, and some computer time with the crazies.  |
Shhh! Don't talk about studies here!
I don't want this thread closed or deleted.
Interesting, bluebicycle! Thanks.
But it should actually trip for it to be BP, though.
But would one need a brain to think or just a mind? Can a mind exist without a brain? A brain without a mind?
Seriously, can a robot or other computational machine make the mistakes we make? Believe in say, someone watching them (gathering data or something) and having evil plans or just feel threatened? Could it ever develop psychological defences like displacement (thinking that, say, one particular person is the root of an evil found elsewhere)? Could it hallucinate?
Would you think I'd be able to make someone pass a Turing Test, just by the "sciency" way I write?
Game idea!!
Oh, ****.... now I do it myself!
