A philosophical zombie (or “p-zombie”) is a being in a thought experiment in the philosophy of mind that is physically identical to a normal human being but does not have conscious experience.

Given how OP seems to be spamming this in multiple unrelated communities… I can’t imagine they would post it to blahaj tactfully. So… maybe you’re right, lol.

Andreessen posted a manifesto where he said that deliberately delaying AGI is basically mass murder and should be treated as such.

I mean, they definitely had logos. But what about pathos?
