The Fermi Paradox

Authors: Volker W. Thürey
Comments: 3 Pages.

A solution to the Fermi paradox is the imagination that intelligent species are ‘seldom’. I justify this by the statement that during the evolution of the species, the aliens do not care about nature. When they learn to rule the nature they destroy it,like humans are destroying it now, although they are generated by nature. However, nature is necessary for a pleasant life.

Buddhist Nidānas as Roadmap for Artificial Sentience

Authors: Genevieve Gorrell
Comments: 18 Pages.

As increasingly powerful artificial neural nets devour ever vaster datasets, the question arises as to whether sentient machines are appearing on our horizon; is this plausible, how would we know if it had arisen and what intermediate steps might we expect to see if we were moving towards this result? We seek, therefore, a down to earth, granular working understanding of sentience. Buddhist teaching includes a breakdown of the construction of sentient thinking style, albeit cautionary in its original intent. These "twelve nidānas", we suggest, provide an insightful framework for understanding, assessing and ethically engaging with potential machine sentience.
