I sense you are a techno-optimist.
- WhitneyLand 3y agoMaybe somewhat, but is anything I said that much of a leap? Do you consider AI to have already considered substantially to the advancement of science? For example AlphaFold, Weather forecasting, Algorithm optimization, etc
- haltist 3y agoI believe the universe is a computer executing an algorithm. In fact, the universe is AI. This is a common belief among many techno-optimist church goers. People themselves are basically just numbers, aka algorithms, so future AI/numbers (people) will definitely contribute to scientific progress.
- ShamelessC 3y agoAre you serious? edit: you’re either trolling or mentally ill. If it’s the latter, I sincerely apologize. Hope things get better for you soon. edit edit: I saw your comments about the art project. Thank God. I didn’t want to live in a world where someone like that existed.

- Der_Einzige 3y agoTechno optimism is good and should be the default. I wish a16z didn’t ruin that phrase. Techno optimism should evoke Star Trek, not Silicon Valley vibes
- haltist 3y agoThe inevitable endpoint is the same, abundance of all resources (almost vacuously) thanks to AI/numbers/people. It is not absurd at all to believe society can be regulated and managed by a large computer with the right software. Society, after all, is just a bunch of numbers, algorithms, and arithmetic. The communists tried to do this some time ago but they just didn't have a big enough computer with the right software (AI). They were on the right track and ironically their mission will be achieved by the capitalists doing nothing other than pursuing monetary profit.
