Thus the term "consensus truth"
- altruios 3y agoHey, sorry to just randomly reply: but I saw your comment on my post and could not reply. I want to improve the typography - the current feedback I'm getting so far is that the current design works well with two friends who have dyslexia, but I think that's more to do with the formatting than current typography... I have no good sense of typographical style though. And now the more relevant comment! Consensus truth can be far from objective truth as ideas don't compete based on value or truth or usefulness: but merely by how sticky, how replicatable in the brains of others.
- bloaf 3y agoOne of the wilder possibilities of the future of AI is discovering that we as humans have some form of collective anosognosia. The AI would just repeatedly and confidently assert things that we knew to be false, and we'd go to great lengths just to give the AI the same cognitive blinders we're wearing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosognosia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anosognosia Right now, the AI is operating "inside the bubble" of our thoughts and so is unlikely to figure out our collective blind spot, but once one can interact with the world in more meaningful ways, we should pay really close attention to the mistakes it makes.
