  • How bout we just do what’s right and good and not sacrifice our humanity, decency, privacy, and sovereignty.

    People who always want more are the reason many people don’t have enough.

    China is an economic answer.

    It is not a moral one.

    Neither is the US.

    And let’s not pretend we are saints, our gov has always been shadowed by open secrets of moral terpitude.

    Maybe we can just be better and focus on doing good here with what we have and let others forge ties with us.



  • If a program is given a set of instructions, it should produce that set of instructions.

    If a program not only does not produce those instructions, but gives itself its own set of instructions, and the programmers don’t understand what’s actually happening, that may be cause for concern.

    “Self aware” or not. (I’m sure an ai would pass the mirror test)

    People seem to have no problem with the term machine learning. Or the intelligence in ai. We seem to be unwilling to consider a consciousness that is not anthrocentric. Drawing that big red line with semantics we create. It can learn. It can defend itself. It can manipulate and cause users harm. It wants to survive.

    Sometimes we need to create new words or definition to explain new things.

    Remember when animals were not conscious beings just driven by instinct or whatever we told ourselves to make us feel better?

    Is a bee self aware? Is it conscious? Does it eat, learn, defend, attack? Does it matter what we say it is or isn’t?

    There are humans we say have co conscience.

    Maybe ai is just the sum of human psychopathy / psychosis.

    Either way, semantics are semantics, and we ourselves might just be simulations in a holographic universe.
