- hiAndrewQuinn 2y agoAin't that the million dollar question, my friend. I am not about to slog myself through enough Immanuel Kant to explain how to got there, though. I already had one undergrad. You're right to notice a connection to theism here, though. It sounds nuts to see but I actually see some distant parallels between Land and Omohundro's ideas and, like, old gnostic traditions, or the early 20th century process philosophy of Charles Hartshorne.
- gom_jabbar 2y agoLand is also explicitly referencing Omohundro and his Basic AI Drives in his work, e.g.: "Intelligence is escape, with a tendency to do its own thing. That's what runaway means, as a virtual mind template. Omohundro explains the basics." [0] "Intelligence optimization, comprehensively understood, is the ultimate and all-enveloping Omohundro drive."
