I still haven't heard a compelling reason for why we need to choose AIs as our masters.
What is this end goal that we do desperately need an ai overlord for? Managing society? Can't we try to simplify society so that we can control it ourselves instead? Seems like a much easier goal.

- bracobama 9y agoAh the joys of a zero sum game. We're much more effective and efficient if we all work together. I don't understand why there isn't more international cooperation when it comes to moonshots.
- V-2 9y agoIt's not a zero sum game at all. It's much more akin to prisoner's dilemma (which is not zero sum).

The people who adopted it had huge competitive advantage over everybody else.
