> Why do we - humans - feel it is so damn well appropriate to outsource our responsibilities and accountabilities as humans and integral members off an ecology to technology and, in doing so, forego a necessary immersion into and deep reverence for the world, substituting instead a tech-derived and mediated superficiality, detaching ourselves from our biology mostly for the sake of self-gratification and self-grandeur? I mean, the simple and inelegant answer is evolution. Maximize mating opportunity and minimize energy expenditure. Grandeur means mating opportunity. Passing off responsibility means minimizing energy expenditure. Humans aren't transcendent beings. We're just good at math. > The bigger question is, what values do we - the collective we - attribute to a world and a life to be saved and will our AI adhere to such values? Ask different groups of people and you'll get different answers. I don't know that there are "human" values.
