  • This house would ban the creation of all artificial conscious beings

    Infoslide

    Consciousness is any subjective experience (including sensory experiences, feelings, thoughts and desires).

For the purposes of this debate, AI development has advanced to the extent that we are now capable of enabling consciousness in AI, while all other technology remains the same as the status quo.

  • This house would use the device

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, you have obtained a small, portable device with two buttons: A “save” button and a “return” button. When you hit the “save” button, you are able to save the current time point, like in a video game. When you hit the “return” button, your life will return to the last time point you saved. The machine will not erase any of your memories. If you do not keep and use the device, it will eventually blow up on its own.

  • This house regrets the rise in models of game development which rely on free-to-play models of revenue.

    Infoslide

Players can typically pay for in-game purchases using a credit or debit card or a digital wallet. Examples include Genshin Impact, Counter-Strike 2, League of Legends, etc

    Dialectica Pre-ABP 2024 Fundraiser · Round 3 · 2024-06-28

  • This house would introduce VatiCoin

    Infoslide

    For the purposes of this debate, the following core tenets of the religion Catholicism are presumed to be true - there is an afterlife, including heaven, purgatory and hell, an omnipotent God exists, Jesus is the Son of God, and the concept of sin and forgiveness of sins exists. Virtuous acts are those rooted in love and fear of God, whilst sin is rooted in cruelty and selfishness. There are competing ideas within the church as to what constitutes a sin and what constitutes a virtuous act. Incontrovertible evidence exists which proves that these, and only these, tenets of Catholicism are true. This evidence is widely accessible. The Catholic Church has recently developed its own cryptocurrency, called VatiCoin. VatiCoin are tradable digital tokens which can be bought and sold on the open market. When owned, VatiCoins forgive the sins of those who own them. Individuals which own more VatiCoins have more of their sins forgiven, in proportion to the amount of VatiCoins they possess. The amount of VatiCoins required to forgive each individual sin is proportional to the size of the sin. There are a limited number of VatiCoins in existence. There are no similar currencies which exist or can be manufactured with similar properties. The Church has power to control the exchange of VatiCoin to some degree, to prevent hoarding or other undesirable outcomes. Upon the death of the holder, VatiCoin returns to open exchange and it cannot be stolen. Buying and selling VatiCoin is neither a virtuous act nor a sin.

  • This house believes that climate activists should resort to hacktivism

    Infoslide

    Internet activism, hacktivism is the use of computer-based techniques such as hacking as a form of civil disobedience to promote a political agenda or social change. Hacktivism can involve cybercrimes when it includes illegal activities, such as hacking, data breaches, or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. However, not all hacktivism is inherently criminal, as some actions are aimed at peaceful online activism and raising awareness.
