I assume you are also a vegan? I would put my energy into fighting animal meat and animal husbandry today than worrying about a level of technology we probably won't reach for at least a few decades if not a few centuries.
- datameta 5y agoMy words here are not exclusively stemming from my thoughts on animal suffering, but also from wishing we could have preempted the current wave of ML-powered surveillance had we known where it would now be two decades ago and enacted sufficient regulations.

- datameta 5y agoMy reticence comes from not being fully confident in our ability to regulate technologies with an essentially luddite governmental body when it comes to tech they do not wish to fully understand. Perhaps if we change how they learn about new developments we can expect them to make informed decisions regarding something like organic AI.
- netizen-936824 5y agoPerhaps we should have better educated regulators then.
