The evolution of intelligence and its intersection with universal access to knowledge is more important than copyright.
To the extent copyright interests want to pick a fight with AI, they must lose, and decisively so.
- hollerith 1y agoLots of things are more important than the evolution of intelligence. This blind faith in technological progress is becoming grossly incompatible with the interests of ordinary people.
- CamperBob2 1y agoTBH, I'm not super impressed with "ordinary people" lately. Most of the time, I don't spare "ordinary people" a thought. Lately, I have, though. The thought is primarily something along the lines of, "How can these people be stopped before they hose us all?"
- hollerith 1y agoThe only sector of our society that needs to be stopped before they hose us all is the AI labs IMHO.
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agomaybe not the only... but they're certainly nontrivial in that distinction
- hollerith 1y agoMy "only" is an exaggeration, but the AI labs are definitely the societal force I'm most worried about. If they were closed down or some talented person figures out how to control AIs (so they stay controlled even if the become more capable than us) I'd be fairly optimistic about humanity's future.
- CamperBob2 1y agoYes, if only you were in charge, things would be... different.
