People who rule the world are already mindless machines. Or atleast machine parts of mindless mega machines.
Like a machine there are very strick rules to what they can say, do and think. Over time and through constant repetition they become incapable of doing anything other than performing to that spec.
The biggest problem the world faces, is this robot army has lost touch with its humanity, and its become very hard to dislodge them out of the loops they are trapped in.
- randcraw 4y agoAKA "self-inflicted robotification"? Yeah, I think the willingness of humans to reduce themselves to a stereotype -- politically, professionally, or socially -- in order to advance themselves (or to just fit in) is a much greater danger to civilization than an all-powerful AI rising up and turning all us humans into powerless minions of a robot overlord. Stuart Russell started to make this point in his recent book "Human Compatible", I think, but never quite got there. A lovely intro to the state of modern AI, to my eye the book fell short of actually prescribing HOW we might shape AI to be a positive force for humankind, rather than let it grow mindlessly into a problem child shaped only by obvious stereotypes and stratifications. Hopefully it can learn from its parent what NOT to do...
