I would eat that ass like a motherfucker eating turkey this thanksgiving ! <| sep |> 1 from a Rattata . <| sep |> I mean , ultimately everything in the universe is deterministic . Maybe even quantum mechanics , right ? So maybe we ' re getting a bit off track , and I could have chosen a better word , but an interesting topic all the same ! But I do agree , it seems likely to me that in the long run , making a distinction between carbon or silicon or AI or evolution or an engineered strand of DNA , or a lifeform executing in a virtual environment won ' t have much meaning . I can easily imagine all those fields converging under a single umbrella . The question I ' m considering is how long it will take to get to that point .
