Comment Big publishers problem (Score 1) 379

Why is this a problem that only the biggest publishers in the game/movie/music industry seem to be concerned about?

"Piracy is hurting out sales, we need to monetise all our content in every way possible"

Is this not a problem of mentality?

A person can blame a nameless group for all their problems; the government, immigrants, pirates

But ultimately if these factors are outside of your control, is it not more productive to focus on the things that you CAN control instead? There will always be pirates, regardless of how much you legislate, technology always adapts to a changing environment faster than the law Accept this and find inner peace Mr Yerli

Comment Soul vs Consciousness (Score 1) 210

I agree with Smidge, that we could potentially create new intelligent artificial life and would like to add something further
The reason why it's so difficult to quantify what a soul is and what it does, is because it's a wishy-washy concept that blurs the line between personal ego and consciousness (self-awareness)
The more and more I delve into mysticism, Hinduism, Buddhism and the concept of enlightenment in general, the more I realise what Einstein did
Pure consciousness may be the immortal aspect of human life, but there's absolutely nothing personal about it
An artificial life form could be created without the need to burden it with emotions or an ego
Why create an AI with an ego when machines by default don't have one to begin with?
