"We have a very selective memory indeed. We have absolutely terrible judgment, are super irrational, and pretty reliably make decisions that are against our own interests, "
This is a really bad argument - human intelligence is not highly rational, but it is deeply nuanced, using social cues, emotions, instincts and a miriad of other things.
Computers can never be anti-knowledge because they lack the free will and social behavior of humans - they didn't chose to be pro knowledge either.

- epgui 5y agoIt’s not a good argument because it’s not an argument. It’s just intended to be a perspective point. These things aren’t magical properties of a “higher” intelligence, they’re phenomena that emerge from structure. Give a robot a hindbrain and it will pick up on that type of things.
