People have spent the last decade modify their behavior to please algorithms. They've become indistinguishable from bots. Cattle herded into segregated pens.
Being more human is the only possible defense, warts and all.
- smartmic 4y agoYeah, I agree, many of us have become bots or zombies, though still being basic humans and communicating as humans. If you were a techie who wants to create a new algorithm to which we shall obey, you had to learn the language of computers to do so. Now this has changed as well. The computers have learned to speak our —human— language. That means they will also adapt to our behavior, which means the spiral into the insanity Jaron Lanier was talking about could possibly go faster… EDIT: So yes, a return to what makes us human, to nature, with an awareness of history and philosophy would be very desirable and quite appropriate in these and future times.
- jimkleiber 4y agoI'm really wondering though because I feel kind of at a loss, what are some things you think we can do to be more human?
