Bonobo Conspiracy would like to welcome the CTRL-A refugees, who will be sharing our hosting space for the next little while.

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.

Jen: I believe the Strong AI Hypothesis is false.
Matt: Okay. Why?

Jen: Because only God can create consciousness, and humans are the only conscious beings God created. It says so in the Bible.
Matt: What about the "seraphim" of Isaiah 6?
Jen: Rats.

Matt: You were right. It does pay to read the Bible, even for neo-pagans.
Sun-Moon: Told ya.

Captain Smokeblower from 24.8.121.51 at Fri, 02 May 2008 00:09:52 +0000:
The idea that humans are the highest life form has led to some of the most blasphemous atrocities we've committed against God's creatures and all creation. Being the highest doesn't mean we can do as we please to everyone else. If we truly behaved like the highest life form, i.e. caring for this world and its creatures, it wouldn't be wrong to claim to be the current pinnacle of creation. Oh well, maybe we're already tendering our resignation without realizing it.
To the future highest life form: Sorry for the mess.
