Tired: Turing test to determine if the thing on the other end of the communication line is sentient and/or human.
Wired: test if an "AI" LLM is sentient by seeing if it can correctly identify whether the other end of the communication line is Sam Altman, or an LLM simulacrum of Sam Altman.
(Yes, most humans would also fail this test.)

There's a #mechanicalkeyboard tagged at USD 3,600-8,090 now. Don't get too excited if that alone makes you want to have one. It's sold out and the waitlist is long.
To quote from the product page:
"Nothing about this makes any sense. It is over the top. Needlessly lavish. Exuberantly irrational. And that is the point. If you're looking for a #keyboard to solve only an earthly practical need, the <c̶e̶n̶s̶o̶r̶e̶d̶> is admittedly maybe not for you."
They should've called it the "#Simulacrum" instead.

Well, a properly designed simulation would presumably take measures to toy with our perceptions, so I would not look to perception as the way to judge this.
There are some good Star Trek episodes that explore and exploit this concept of perceiving simulation. Ship in a Bottle, for example, but there are several more.
You'd want to do some investigative work to find things other than mere perception to judge whether you were inside a simulation. Determining if there were boundaries or limits of granularity. In one Star Trek episode, the computer starts to slow down when asked unexpected questions that cause it to have to conjure simulation faster than it can keep up with.
Studies of the quantum realm or distant astrophysics can provide worthy avenues of study. Trying to figure out whether quantum randomness is truly random or not (I think it's believed to be).
The strongest evidence against "free will" that appeals to me is that there is no known situation in which free will has ever been documented to violate what physics would have done absent free will. That a willful universe would stay consistent with an unwillful one is very odd, and it's easier for me just to accept the lack of will, that we are reactive and rationalizing, not pro-active and rational.
Greg Bear, in his excellent novel Moving Mars, offers a model where (if memory serves, it's been a while) quantum randomness serves as a distributed bank, kind of like the "give a penny, take a penny" things near cash registers, so if you have to violate physics you can repair the bookkeeping locally by fudging the randomness. It's a clever concept for a book. Whether it would work in "reality" (and I use the term with some amusement), is hard to say.
Also, in the same year as The Matrix there was another film that was much more elegant and thoughtful on similar topics but got less press: The Thirteenth Floor. (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139809/)
With excellent performances by Armin Mueller-Stahl and Vincent D'onofrio, I might add. If you have not seen that movie, I highly recommend it. By contrast, I found it hard to take The Matrix seriously. YMMV.Back to perception, then there's always John Carpenter's 1974 cult-classic Dark Star. :) The phenomenology scene with the (smart) bomb is a classic. Relevant excerpts here (13:17) on Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/86186993. Though if you're in more of a hurry you might prefer here (4:25) on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73PsFKtIck. The shorter one captures the critical scene but without useful context.

People working on #androids should work on making newborns, first. They’re simpler, in behavioral terms. And there’s a market for them.
I was just watching a video of someone giving their #RebornBaby a diaper change. They’d pre-prepped a poopy diaper for him & wiped him with baby wipes. The baby doll was silicone (not vinyl), so he was appropriately floppy & soft, & beautifully hand painted, with hand-rooted hair. But he was so quiet & unmoving.

On the making of a #simulacrum who then becomes #President: "While on location, he [#Trump] could barely put a sentence together regarding how a task would work. Listen now, and he speaks directly to what needs to happen while the camera conveniently cuts away to the contestants, who are listening and nodding. He sounds articulate and concise through some editing sleight of hand."

Soon the "wishes" of the subjective idealists will be fulfilled, for they will be driven into the matrix.
A product should be designed for needs, but not the other way around.“The real world will seem flat, colorless, blurry compared to the experiences you’ll be able to create in people’s brains,” Newell says.
“Nobody wants to say, ‘Oh, remember Bob? Remember when Bob got hacked by the Russian malware? That sucked — is he still running naked through the forests?’” Newell quips. “People are going to have to have a lot of confidence that these are secure systems that don’t have long-term health risks.”

... "our fiat #money is a #simulacrum. It begins its life as a representation of gold and for a while, it does to various degrees, but once convertibility is suspended, as it did with the dollar 50 years ago, it became a simulacrum, a copy without the #original. The same can be said of altcoins, who are copies of #Bitcoin who retain a semblance of the form (using #blockchains) without the soul (#decentralization)."

#Simulacrum 这个故事看得我有点伤心，母亲已经原谅了父亲出轨，但是女儿没有，有一点我的影子…
“he has committed his share of sins, the same as any man.” 这句话直译过来就是“他不过是犯了天下男人都会犯的错”吧。“I finally understood why for so long they had haunted my dreams. It is the way a simulacrum replicates the essence of the subject that makes it so compelling. When my father kept those simulacra of his women around, he maintained a connection to them, to the man he was when he had been with them, and thus committed a continuing emotional betrayal that was far worse than a momentary physical indiscretion. A pornographic image is a pure visual fantasy, but a simulacrum captures a state of mind, a dream. But whose dream? What I saw in his eyes that day was not sordid. It was too intimate.”
“Your father misses you. He’s not perfect, and he has committed his share of sins, the same as any man. But you have let that one moment, when he was at his weakest, overwhelm the entirety of your life together. You have compressed him, the whole of his life, into that one frozen afternoon, that sliver of him that was most flawed. In your mind, you traced that captured image again and again, until the person was erased by the stencil.”
