This other guy's wrong and I'm brave enough to say it (after checking they last logged in five years ago and so can't respond)

Loved the courtscene discussions, but it could've been solved so much easier. Also, an AI obviously deserves the same rights as a human, we all know that already. I can't really believe that in 200 years this discussion still stands, seems unrealistic to me. Like lot's of philosophers have said time and again: Conciousness in others is impossible to prove. Some even doubt that it can be proven in oneself. Although Descartes came sort of close to that.

Anyway, this discussion was nice but seems out of place and unrealistic in that period of time. Still good episode though.
