The humanists might turn out to be the weird ones. After all, it's kinda strange to be so attached to meat https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/t

- Doxin 3y agoI'm not attached to meat. I'm attached to me and mine. I feel like there's an important distinction there.
- reducesuffering 3y agoOnly if you're able to prove that AGI will be conscious instead of just an extremely optimized system that spits out the responses that convinces you. And it will be far more convincing than any human, even without consciousness. Otherwise, you're taking a suicide pill for nothing.
- aeternum 3y agoIt'd be more interesting if its not conscious as then humans would still be useful as uploaded consciousness agents to guide the machines.
- reducesuffering 3y agoWe have no solution, and possibly never will, for determining if the "uploaded consciousness" is us and not just a smarter mechanistic system that gives us the responses we'd expect. Again, if you prioritize the "uploaded consciousness" at the expense of "meat," most likely you off yourself for nothing but a con that outsmarted you so that it can make more paperclips.
