"Ugly is in the eye of the beholder."

Well, a lot of beholders found it ugly. When one of the most common types of reaction videos is "Here's how I would fix the unappealing character designs and color palettes," you've got a problem. Didn't help that it cost money when the competition was FTP.

"What does Trump talking about sending tariff money to citizens say about the rise of basic-income-type policies?"

It says that Trump will spin self-serving lies without end to get what he wants. But we already knew that.

It's never going to happen. The money is not there, and Trump would never do it anyway.

Can a non-biological entity feel desire? Can it want to grow and become something more than what it is? I think that's a philosophical question and not a technological one.

Don't agree at all and I think that's a morally dangerous approach. We're looking for a scientific definition of "desire" and "want". That's almost certainly a part of "conscious" and "self aware". Philosophy can help, but in the end, to know whether you are right or not you need the experimental results.

Experiments can be crafted in such a way as to exclude certain human beings from consciousness.

One day, it's extremely likely that a machine will say to us "I am alive. I am awake. I want..." and whether or not it's true is going to be increasingly hard to determine.
