But this is obvious. Eventually wars with be fought with machine intelligences. It's inevitable. People who say things like, "We need to think about the implications of AI because these machines will do things we can't understand."
Of course they will. Just like people do things we don't understand. What is the alternative? Technology can't be stopped.
Expressing a wish for caution is pointless because no one will heed that wish, there is almost no rational actor who would not choose to invent machine intelligence knowing that others are pursuing the same technology.
At root, your comment just seems alarmist but not persuasive. How should I change my beliefs even if I concede that yes: machine intelligences will be dangerous and unpredictable.
- norswap 11y agoWell, it is for you at least. I guess the message is just: don't use advanced ML magic if you don't fully understand the consequences. Yes, things like interacting content discovery engines is almost impossible to stop. At least being aware of the mechanic can help defeat it. e.g. blocking beacons & co, not because I care so much about anonymity, but because I don't want the algorithms to format my experience.
