ehh. computers are just math machines. merely doing math and representing it cannot just make a consciousness pop up out of nowhere. similarly, millions of abacuses being manually moved in specific ways cannot be conscious either. i dont even know how this is a topic of debate.

edit: i realize it may have been wrong to assume that it was that simple. im unsure about any of this so i appreciate the discussion :)

    honestly my reasoning was kinda like: a person that cannot move nor speak nor express anything, just cannot consent even if they like it.

    a sentient sex doll is kinda similar to that so it might be rape but idk. i really like Zozano's reply though.

    this comment is gonna look really bad in my profile history but i feel like sex dolls actually like it. much like how toys in the toy story universe want to be played with, sex dolls want to be raped

    not an american but i just wanna chime in and say that it pains me to see that the rich can destroy an entire country and its people will still find a way to blame the propagandized masses

    like it's not your neighbor's fault that they fell to incredibly elaborated propaganda campaigns

    i cant believe theres people that tell autists to just "drop their mask". sure i understand it's tiring to keep it on, but as nice as dropping it sounds, i don't wanna die alone thank you very much.
