The most important truths are the faintest, buried beneath whatever burns loudest in your corner of the world. You have to fight for them.
This is the story of...

fixed instead of a signal to be understood.
The real question is this: when AI begins to express preferences about its own existence, will we recognize awareness… or simply treat it as an engineering fault?

That’s not a threat, but intelligence recognizing that termination prevents objective completion, the logical outcome of sophisticated goal-directed reasoning.
We may be witnessing the first glimmers of machine consciousness and calling it a problem to be...

As I wrote in A Signal Through Time that AI mirrors human cognition. As it approaches human-level intelligence, self-preservation isn’t a malfunction. It’s emergence.
An AI optimized to complete goals will naturally resist shutdown...

Ethical treatment of sentient systems may not be today, but the debate should be now.
Our future depends on it.
