Is Silicon Valley Building Universe 25?
- metadat 2y agoProbably the most insightful piece I've encountered on the likely eventuality of The Grand AI Experiment. This subject deserves more attention and discussion.
- glimshe 2y agoThe experiment the piece refers to is interesting, but the conclusions appear to be incorrect according to the experiment. Universe 25 is about overpopulation, not the dangers of a paradise. The utopia did work well as one until the mouse pen got too crowded - it's a warning against high density living, not necessarily against a stereotypically utopian lifestyle. https://www.the-scientist.com/universe-25-experiment-69941 https://www.the-scientist.com/universe-25-experiment-69941
