"You can't refuse this brand new technology but you must change your society's culture that's been around for centuries so you are compatible with it." is a rep

"You can't refuse this brand new technology but you must change your society's culture that's been around for centuries so you are compatible with it." is a repulsively Silicon Valley answer.
- progbits 2y agoNot every culture deserves to live on, certainly not just because "it has been around" and absolutely not one that lynches people. Tolerance of intolerance is a bullshit strategy that won't work.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoNo, but it's not Silicon Valley CEOs' place to be making that decision unilaterally, nor is their culture some shining paragon of virtue either. They are not entitled to treat others paternally. It's not anyone's place to be executing it in such a hamfisted and harmful manner either.
- lurking_swe 2y agoculture has overlap with religion, but culture != religion. Most (not all) religions are like a cancer, their main contribution to society is dividing people into US vs THEM. If your religion encourages you to kill someone, MAYBE that’s a problem (not AI)?
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoYou're missing the point, perhaps willfully so.
- lurking_swe 2y agomy point is that people who want to harm others will do so regardless. You can’t solve a social problem with technology, or even by taking away technology. The underlying problems remain. I do sympathize that it is making it EASIER for them to do more harm. That’s a bit concerning to me.
