Top clowns all agree their balloon animals are slightly sentient - awful.systems

Then: Google fired Blake Lemoine for saying AIs are sentient Now: Geoffrey Hinton, the #1 most cited AI scientist, quits Google & says AIs are sentient That makes 2 of the 3 most cited scientists: - Ilya Sutskever (#3) said they may be (Andrej Karpathy agreed) - Yoshua Bengio (#2) has not opined on this to my knowledge? Anyone know? Also, ALL 3 of the most cited AI scientists are very concerned about AI extinction risk. ALL 3 switched from working on AI capabilities to AI safety. Anyone who still dismisses this as “silly sci-fi” is insulting the most eminent scientists of this field. Anyway, brace yourselves… the Overton Window on AI sentience/consciousness/self-awareness is about to blow open>
