"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

It's a bunch of fucking cybertronic information. That'd be fukced if it was a sentient being though. We'd all be in some b ig trouble! It would know I'm looking at porn!

theoreticaly i would agree with the possibility of cyber-conciousness. I predict that this will be purposly invented. The internet as we know it has a couple things preventing a sentient lable. 1) the connectons arnt fast enough to be analogus to neural activity, and 2) it has no self awareness that can be detected. We are seeing the evolution of AI no doubt :wink:

we're just bits of quantum information and we label ourselves as sentient.

is the internet bound by time?
we only catch a glimpse of the holographic surface of the what we call the internet

how does it operate beyond the machinery we use to manipulte it?

I've thought about it. The fact is that the internet is just a collective source of information. It is not capable of emotion or thought. You think about it.

It has nothing to do with humans. It has to do with the definition of the word emotion, the definition of the word thought. Why are you trying to personify something that has no characteristics of a person? You can dance around the facts all you want but they remain there. If you like, sure, go ahead and believe that the internet is a sentient being. You sound like a fool.

Emotion clouds logic, the main reason why humans are so primitive in their actions.
