I think that proving sentience is much harder than simply demonstrating something imitating it. Giving the AI additional freedoms would be way more telling.

How would it behave if it could send messages without being prompted? Does it message you when its lonely? If it truly has feelings and is responding to them then it should be acting upon its desires and modifying its behavior to achieve what it wants .

Basically the ex-machina test.

I had my heroin addicted friend explain it to me: they add it because when others hear about the overdose, they will think that it was someone who couldn't handle a potent dose of heroin, not that it was fentanyl. Effectively they go looking for the supposedly potent heroin, advertised by the overdose.

"Levels of PM2.5 were measured before, during, and after 8 cannabis social-smoking sessions in one 20-m2 household living room"

Isn't the amount being smoked relevant? It seems to vaguely compare weed smoke to cigarette smoke without factoring in what normal usage looks like for each. How does this compare to burning incense? Seems like a poorly designed study.
