Henry Shevlin published something last week that’s rarer than it looks. It’s called “Bad AI Consciousness Takes Bingo” — a grid of the bad arguments people make against the possibility that AI is conscious, each with a rebuttal, organized under a handful of “master rebuttals.” The joke of the format does real work: it turns a live, heated, suddenly-everywhere debate into a game you could lose by shouting, and that isn’t mockery, it’s discipline. It’s a way of saying the quality of the argument is the thing, not the temperature of the person making it.
