How do you know part of being self aware and intelligent also means compassion is part of the package ?
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoSorry, I don't understand what you mean. Did you mean to reply to a different comment?
- bamboozled 3y agoI mean, maybe what happens is, intelligence + self-awareness gives rise to compassion in even digital beings. Understanding might be the basis for compassion.
- kmnc 3y agoWhile this idea sounds a bit fluffy, I actually think there may be something to this, understanding the “other” may very well be an integral component in what we define as sentience.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoYes, maybe what happens is exactly that. We can put on a blindfold, hit the gas pedal, and trust in the benevolence of nature that things will go our way. But AI doomsayers aren't saying that there's no possible good outcomes, they're saying that the good outcomes are a narrow target surrounded by a vast ocean of bad outcomes, and it will take more than luck to hit them. It will take careful, detailed analysis, and a great deal of precaution, verification, engineering, and double- and triple-checking. Not luck. Not hope.
