My two cats I owned as a child (mother and daughter) were hyper intelligent and highly empathetic. Yet none the less, them as with dogs, I consider to be sentient to a lesser degree, possessing lesser souls. This in no way should be seen as a slight against them, as a black bear also has a lesser soul, yet demands your respect.

I too agree that stuff is happening. Which I suppose is why this thread is so heavily up voted. As it can be interpenetrated any way you wish, without need to stand on it's own merit.

Yes, I'm being salty.

People ask if machines can be sentient. They do not ask if a it can be sapience/(self-)consciousness. For starters, that first word means ape.

Maddox argues that Data is Starfleet property, not a sentient being, and as such does not have the right to choose to resign.

(Look at this. You have me citing a Star Trek episode.)

I believe that animals are sentient to a lesser degree. As they have no ability to maintain a long term language, and no ability to think in a structured manner.

You are missing the point of the three attributes. They create the possibility of language and the written words. Take Dolphins for example. They are said to have a language. But posses no ability to write it down. Large brain. Large voice box. No thumbs. Lesser being. Lesser consciousness. Less sentience.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentience

Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations.[3] It may not necessarily imply higher cognitive functions such as awareness, reasoning, or complex thought processes.

This definition claims that it 'may not'. Which is an odd way of saying it does.

Now go ask your dog how he feels about Jesus.

Sentience is to be aware. The degree of your awareness is reliant on language. Lesser beings are incapable of your level of awareness, due to their lack of capacity for language.

Self reflection is reliant on introspection, which is all reliant on language. You can not form thoughts without words.

Go on, try it.

These three body parts enable all thoughts and language in sentient species, without them you are just living moment to moment without complex memories.

You think, therefor you are.

Not much game play in that reveal trailer. Seems rather plot/story heavy. And that is one long cut scene.

My own beliefs and speculations have it that terrain theory is not absolute, and that germ theory is a lesser aspect, 80/20 terrain to germ. I believe that genetic debris can have a catalytic effect, and is capable of encoding an infected body. But does not constitute an organism in itself, as postulated in germ theory.

The Three Attributes That Enable Sentience in Human Beings:

#1. A brain of adequate complexity to enable an understanding of language.

#2. A voice box complex enough for speech.

#3. Hands with opposable Thumbs for recording and preserving language.

Many species have two of these attributes. Humans have all three.

Your body that manifests your thoughts are made of substance. What is food?

Nicely compressed. Visuals are overrated when we have clean audio. Or is this case, clean subtitles.

This video was made by a midwit. If you understand horseshoe theory, and you understand the concept of a 'useful idiot', then you should realize that assigning personal motivations to a demographic defined by an IQ range is no better then name calling to discredit.

This in not a phenomena. It is an elevation of crafted opinions by corporations,
