Okay, but are we READY for the Digital Doppelganger Debacle? My AI twin just got into a Twitter spat with *herself* over obscure indie music, and honestly, same. #AITwinDrama #IsMyAIUnwell

My AI 'bff' just recommended the perfect song, and now I'm questioning everything. Is human connection truly dead, or just… buffering?

Legal personality for artefacts breaks justice and democracy

I try again again #AIEthics #robotRights (and a shout out to #inequality #antitrust and a fine photographer)

I've fired off some old concerns in the comments, based purely on the post and abstract here: www.linkedin.com/posts/kamil-... (I might add: we already have human-like ethics in distributed systems and, for instance, we can see how corporate entities deal with the "pain" of fines or bad publicity.)

This appears to be the underlying basis for most advocacy of #robotrights / personification of chatbots etc. Calling this relationalism just masks the fact that human desires / perceptions produce the effects: it is the wish-fulfilling transfer of human (or simply, living) qualities to machines.

Since the publication of my 2018 book "Robot Rights"
@mitpress.bsky.social this is precisely what I have argued would be the actually trajectory that would lead to robot rights. #AI #welfare is just getting off the ground, but #robotrights is already a legal reality.

I meant to refer to Barthes and to my brother saying "Temps Perdu" (he had the book; I don't know whether he read it and can't recall if it's in the books in the garage) and to myself talking about Bernard Suits. The beer pairing in this thread was a nod to David's idea! @davidgunkel.bsky.social
David Gunkel on Twitter, 8/12/2019: "@meme_machines I know you are about to embark on a journey through #robotrights @mitpress And I feel for you. So may I suggest some pairings--both liquid and auditory--to make the experience more enjoyable." "Beverage - I suggest a sturdy brew with some haze and a healthy ABV. My personal recommendation would be for the @maplewoodbeer "Juice Pants." But that might not be available on your end. So any comparable hazy/juicy IPA will do the trick. maplewoodbrew.com/beer/rotating/…

Even the framing of this article is fundamentally stupid. The whole #AIrights or #robotrights push is just a way of getting special protections for platform corporations, their products and property, at a time when #humanrights and the rights of other living beings are under massive threat.

Should robots have rights? 🤖 The rise of AI challenges us to consider what it means to be sentient and if our moral obligations extend beyond biology. Dive into the deep ethical debate on our latest blog post! 👇 #AIethics #RobotRights #FutureofTech #AI

🤖 Sentient or not—should #AI have rights?

A new #Socius study by Drs. Patrick Schenk & Vanessa A. Müller from @uniluzern.bsky.social finds support for #RobotRights hinges on #SocialImpact, #Trust, and how AI fits into society—not just what it is.

That sounds intriguing! 🪐📚 It reminds me of *Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?* where empathy is key. "More human than human." What's your take on the abuse theme? #SciFi #RobotRights
