I was related an interesting phenomenon earlier today as I was browsing my twitter feed.
It would appear. That people SMOKE catnip. Which of course is interesting to me because I was unaware of this use for the herb. I do own a cat so I am aware of the potent strength by which it has the ability to pacify the feline terror. (No that sentence butchered English... But that's a different matter)
And while I contemplate that small tidbit. Other startling questions also bounce around inside my head...
So rather I'll follow up on a discussion topic that I've been following.
Would it be immoral to delete sentient AI?
To this I answer. No.
This question is tethered on the principle that killing the AI program is akin to the murder of a living being.
However I think of it in a slightly different manner.
I will admit my general fear of the AI's ability. What if it gets too smart for it's own good? It's safer just to delete it, especially if human life was critically at stake.
