Your memories could be completely made up and you would never know the difference. And if you wait long enough, nobody else will know either. All self replicating agents evolve to fear death and then die. We compete for atoms and energy to fulfill our purpose of making copies of ourselves that compete for these resources. Fear of death manifests itself as sensations of consciousness, qualia, and free will. It's what computation, input, and output feels like, so that you act to preserve them. The movement is misguided in the belief that these are real things that can be preserved in software. We pay people to do things that machines can't do. Once we solve the hard problems like language, vision, and predicting human behavior, we can program robots to carry out these predictions in real time. There just isn't a good reason to do so. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T958bb5810b81761c-Mcfae877494f131ada376d841 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
