Sometimes people fail to recognize that the oldest super powerful artificial intelligence is several hundred years old. It’s our economic system.
It’s the software running on all our “wet ware” that convinces us to value productivity and money over human life, the environment, or happiness. It is the paper clip maximizer and it’s happily churning away.
But we’re not maximizing paper clips we’re maximizing profits .

- Dig1t 4y agoWhat does it mean to value human life? I would argue that the economic engine has given us ALL of the improvements in quality of life, and the fact that we live so much longer than we used to, IS valuing human life. There is no other way we could have given ourselves all of the amazing things (tech-wise) we have today. Why would we value the environment over human lives? That just seems like nature-worship.
