Nope. You can definitely start pissing protein if you have to much of it. Thing is, this typically only occurs with either some specific health conditions, or if you are eating way to much of a protein supplement.

Bad for your teeth maybe, but phosphoric acid isnt unhealthy. I mean stomach acid had a pH of 1.5-2.0; and thats due to the presence hydrochloric acid.

"You can tell by the way it is"

I wish this was obvious to everybody

I doubt the gene alterations are heritable, unless they affect germ line cells

Well, i saw a bad argument (or a few) and i pointed it out and explained my reasoning. Not sure why thats a bad thing, i think it promotes educated discourse.

My argument is that your arguments arent valid lol

Well, i disagree with everything you just said and find the keyboard analogy humorously off-target. My argument is not "anything is possible."

Sentience is the ability to have "feelings". These do not have to be similar to the feelings us humans understand, they could be entirely alien to our experiential capabilities. The ability to interpret text prompts could be a sort of sensory modality. And id argue that way the human brain operates can be abstracted to a complex "probability model". It is very possible that consciousness itself is "simply" an emergent property of complex information processing.

Have you seen the paper where a researcher hooked up a rat brain organoid to a (in simple terms) brain chip, and taught it to fly a plane in a 3d simulated environment? Or, more recently, a human brain organoid was taught to play pong? These organoids had no ability to sense their environment either, and both may very well have some limited level of sentience/consciousness.

True. And i agree for the most part. Yet you started with and provided other arguments for why you think it is not conscious, none of which hold up to scrutiny. I am just arguing against those claims.

Oh im not arguing that ChatGPT is conscious, i just dont think you have arrived at any meaningful reasons as to why it couldnt be concious. Whos to say that an "input of tokenized vectors of numbers that represent tokenized text" is unable to result in consciousness? Again i do not think ChatGPT is necessarily advanced enough to be considered sapient/sentient/conscious.

Why? This is not the case. Would a human brain grown in a lab having no sensory connections not be conscious?

You called?

Do you actually believe that? How gullible are you?

It makes you feel better when everything is shitty

Methanol is primarily produced from fermenting grain, not sugar or fruit. Although a small amount of methanol will still be produced, the antidote happens to be ethanol, which will be present in much higher concentrations than methanol. So not much danger of blindness if any.

Its not, was just a proof of concept

Climate change may very well disrupt and possibly collapse organized human society, but it is very unlikely to result in extinction.

The doomsday mentality is a dramatization in most cases.

Neither quirky or unique, but i agree with the sentiment

The colors are horrendous

There was a mod that did exactly this. The millenaire mod, dont think its been updated in years tho

It would be awesome if that was something that was possible

The entire article is spectacularly poorly written

Like the corporate offices who manage fast food chains for example? Which office jobs in particular do you think are not valuable?

Suffering is subjective. Someone might claim to suffer if there was nobody to take their order at Mcdonalds, and its not clear that you would label such a job as "necessary."
