Why do people think "That’s just sci fi!" is a good argument? Whether something happened in a movie has virtually no bearing on whether it’ll happen in real life.

Imagine somebody saying “we can’t predict war. War happens in fiction!” Imagine somebody saying “I don’t believe in videocalls because that was in science fiction” Sci fi happens all the time. It also doesn’t happen all the time. Whether you’ve seen so…

If AI models aren’t conscious and we treat them like they are, it’s mildly bad. If AI models are in fact conscious and we treat them like they aren’t, we’re slaveholders.
