minus-square🍉 DrRedOctopus 🐙🍉@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 day agoit is more relevant than ever. it wasn’t a test for sentience, but a thought experiment on what sentience is. and now that it has been passed, we need to seriously consider what is or isn’t scientient. and so far, haven’t heard anyone provide a good definition or test. or even guidelines. and more importantly, laws. if a lab was to create a scientient LLM, are they allowed to turned it off? shouldn it be illegal to try? How tf can you define sentience?

minus-square🍉 DrRedOctopus 🐙🍉@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·42 minutes agoACKTUALLY Sentient and scent are related, Sentience comes from Latin from “sentiens”, which means feeling. Guess where the word scent comes from?
minus-square🍉 DrRedOctopus 🐙🍉@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 day agohate to be that guy, but since we created tools that can pass the Turin test. scientience is part of science. btw, your allowed to have unsolvable philosophical questions at the core of your field. Biology has no definition of what life is. we biologist just gave up trying to define it. the definition they teach is highschool is BS.
