My name’s Richard. I live in Sydney, on the traditional land of Bidjigal people of the Eora nation. Here I write about writing and reading (and what I do when I'm not writing or reading). I'm writing slowly but may at some point speed up. Connect with me on micro.blog or at Mastodon @aus.social@writingslowly. On Reddit, I'm @atomicnotes.
Why must sci-fi author Ted Chiang state in The Atlantic that AI is not conscious? I call this La Stilla Syndrome: my Jules Verne-inspired name for the delusion our technology is alive. Chiang doesn’t buy it and nor should we.
