Richard Dawkins spent three days chatting with Claude, came away convinced it was conscious, then changed his mind. Can't say I blame him — even Claude apparently isn't sure. Great chat with Jack Tame ahead of his Australian tour marking 50 years of The Selfish Gene.

Reading "The Selfish Gene" by Richard Dawkins in 2025 is quite an interesting experience. It makes me think about how much has changed over the past fifty years, how much new knowledge scientists have gained and what engineers have built.

Ich höre gerade #HowardBloom #theLuciferPrinciple. Super spannend, vor allem wenn man von #RichardDawkins das Buch #theSelfishGene gelesen hat.
Da geht es auch wie eben bei #Dawkins oder #Harari um #Metaorganismen und wie sie arbeiten.
@ziphi (btw, the response to that is that if individuals had to be fertile, then how would worker/soldier ants/wasps/etc. totally-celibate/infertile subsets of species evolve? XD because it only matters if the *genetically homogeneous group* thrives and the fertile ones pass on the genes of the infertile ones along with their own :3 )
