        I think my organs are fine? Everything seems to be in order. I’ve never seen them before with my own eyes but I’m pretty sure they’re in the right place, I’ll update you if I’m informed otherwise

      I think I’m lacking actual ways to answer this but if I had to guess I feel like they’d just cancel each other out and just disappear

      I’m honestly not sure cuz I try to stay off of traditional social media. I have a brother just a couple years young than me and I never have any clue what he’s talking about. Something about “low taper fade” and such, I dunno.

    Can you recommend a piece of media that you feel like really “gets” what life is like for you?

      I’ve returned 9 hours later. I think my answer is Red Dead Redemption 2. Not because I’m a rootin tootin crime committing cowboy or anything but I just really appreciate the way Arthur sees and interacts with the world, in a high honor play through at least I’m not sure if it’s different in a low honor run.

      I appreciate the way that he acts and talks, he seems like a person that just sees people as people regardless of who they are or how they act. He might poke some fun at people but in the end he’s willing to help out a friend and is there for those around him. Sure he’s not exactly a “good man” given the killing and robbing, all that stuff but I think he has an incredibly kind soul.

      It might be cheesy but I feel like that’s how I try to live my life. Regardless of your beliefs your actions your opinions, everyone is a person and I’ll always do my best to help you out if I can. I just try to be kind. I feel like it’s a good way to look at things.

      When I was very young (like 4 years old) I was insistent that the game “Parcheesi” was pronounced “Par Chess Ee” and my family will never let me forget that

      I’m pretty open to any and all music but my favorite genres are rap and hip hop, ex the roots, Tyler the Creator etc, jazz, rock and a bunch of its subgenres, and yeah just a bunch of other stuff. And I do think I’m pretty happy with my life right now. 2025 is off to a pretty great start.

        Thats cool. You are still young so be sure to live a bit yourself before the kid(s) come along. I’d suggest to travel a bit if you can. I hope you get where you want to be. 🙏

    What does being a person mean to you? Could a sufficiently advanced AI become a person and if so, at what point would it become a person that deserves to be treated the same a human? If a machine can be a person, would it be plausible for a person to become a machine? For example, with transhumanism being possible, would a human that has ship of theseus’d with machine components instead of biological components become a machine instead of a person?

      I think the root of being human comes down to the struggles we all face day to day, and overcoming them, moving on, and learning from them. That’s what shapes everybody, their personalities, their strengths and flaws, everything. Everybody’s life story is just a series of struggles and triumphs, many different learning experiences.

      Whether or not an AI could become a person is an interesting thought. With the current state of AI I think it’s a definite no. But, I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. The idea of AI being able to actually move on and learn from things seems completely out of the question to me but so did AI doing what it does now just a few years ago.

      I’m thinking about the book that was recently turned into a movie “the wild robot”. It’s about a robot named Roz that becomes the mother to an orphaned Duckling who she names Brightbill. I think that I’d argue that she’s a person but that’s not real, she was written by real human people so of course she has very human traits. (Incredible movie and book by the way it made me cry a lot)

      I’m not sure if AI will ever get to that point but if it did I guess that’s where I’d draw the line of humanity, and I guess that would count. But I also think that what makes people “people” is very subjective, and I don’t think there’s really any wrong answer. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just what I think.

      As for that last part of your question, people becoming machines, I don’t even know how to answer that. I think it again just comes down to how advanced AI would be in the situation.

    Do you like the color green? what about light green?
    What time is it?
    Do you think ghosts are real?
    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
    Why would you best match this position?

      I don’t really remember my first fictional childhood crush

      I have an iPhone 13

      I think that pancakes when done right are the far superior option, but people don’t often do them right so waffles feel safer most of the time

      Tenders all the way

      I think my favorite game is either Baldurs Gate 3, RDR2, or Hollow Knight. If I’m thinking back real far then Sonic Adventure 2 is a contender too, I played that a lot as a kid

      Green is great! I prefer a dark, earthier green but light green isn’t bad.

      It is 1:07 AM as I am writing this.

      I definitely think ghosts are real.

      In 5 years I hope I have 1 or 2 kids, and a nice stable job to provide for them and my wife, living in a cute little house somewhere in the eastern United States

      I think I’m the best match cuz I’m awesome 😎
