A lot of AI discussion suffers from an is/ought problem where people think you're attacking their vision of Iain Bank's the Culture while they refuse to see what's in front of their face, IMO.
- stego-tech 1y agoIf we were building The Culture, we’d be using these tools to help identify and treat folks with undiagnosed disorders (e.g., ADHD, ASD, OCD) through their habits instead of firing workers for not meeting arbitrary KPIs or denying them travel rights for being a dissenter. This is why I can’t get behind current AI bubbles: we’re not remotely using them to help humanity, only to punish the poor, the marginalized, and the undesirables.
