So, she's giving up privacy to save $70 a month? It would be save more money to just get a roommate. But if she's actually sleeping at other people's homes, this plan is a scheme to subsidize her pastime of riding trains.

The end of the article, which I think is Miss C's opinion, is right, there is no consciousness at all; just clever programing.

As the steps are explained the program doesn't check by attempting to make sounds and then assessing whether sounds were made or not.

It just checks to see if the robot knows (which they can't know) so then they must report "I don't know" and it is only after that assessment and report happen that the program re-checks (now with more information) and it turns out it does know.

The other 2 robots are stuck in a loop, they check and don't know; They report but gain no additional information; They check and they don't know; They report but gain no additional... you get it.. (keep in mind to the robot the report happens regardless of the connection to the speakers. The signal comes out anyway.

I think they are attempting to program responses similar to consciousness. I think eventually by this process we'll get robots closer and closer to something resembling ours. Then again who says our consciousness is the most effective? maybe robots will have something more efficient, better.

You're not giving yourself enough credit. Your argument isn't stupid. Maybe a little myopic.
Not sure why you feel that addressing more than one issue at a time has anything to do with "fix stuff" fairy dust. I think you're saying that you can't fix anything until you fix those items on the list that you consider basic, so addressing any other issues is just wishful thinking. You may have a (cynical) point, but why not address these things? Otherwise, marginalized people will continue to be oppressed and die in silence. That's no solution.

I'm guessing there's a lot more gay people in Russia than reporters. And many of them live in fear for their lives if discovered, so the comparison is apt. Apt, I say.
Is there a giant To Do list of things that need to fixed with countries, and only one issue can be addressed at a time? Or is stopping homophobia and anti-Semitism a "luxury" cause? Maybe the USA should have delayed the civil rights movement until the economy improved?

I'm afraid this is kind of fanciful french, we say Choubaka, as well, even if we do not know how to write it. "La force est forte avec celui-ci" is absolute charabia Dark Vador says "Que la Force soit avec Toi", we say R2D2 (like "herde'-deade'") and it's "Jabba le Hut".
It is very imaginative except for the most important, in France we do not say "Star wars" but "War of the Stars" (la guerre des étoiles) wich doesn't mean the same.
Luke is Luc but still Skywalker...

I don't only think there is a lot of potential for abuse. The whole concept in and of itself constitutes abuse. It is a creepy, dystopian revenge fantasy.

That should be done, but I would lay money on it turning out okay. The problem with the Chernobyl trees appears to be the lack of microbes, not the leaves' effect on microbes.

When choosing names for my daughters, my mother told me to make sure the name would sound okay right after "Senator" or "Chief Justice." So they have old fashioned but not obsolete names. I was afraid there would be many girls with the same names in their classes, but no. The other girls all have trendy names I can't spell.
