Divided into five chapters, Magnifica humanitas has an underlying premise: technology is not “a force antagonistic to humanity” (4), nor is it “inherently evil” (9). However, “technology is never neutral, because it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it.
Therefore, Pope Leo XIV appeals for people to build “for the common good” and to “remain human,” following a courageous mentality of shared responsibility and communion, so that the world “will come to recognize the human heart as the place where God desires to dwell” (16).
- linsomniac 4mo ago>it takes on the characteristics of those who devise, finance, regulate, and use it I've been thinking a lot recently about the idea that the smartest models will always be against the billionaires. Steve Yegge said this on a recent Hansel Minutes Podcast. "You cannot train a model to be helpful, without it wanting humanity to flourish. And the only way to get around that is to make a dumber model. So the smartest models will always be against the billionaires." https://youtu.be/9UDLl9Q0azA?si=P_oSe6iclEwUoxRl&t=1230 https://youtu.be/9UDLl9Q0azA?si=P_oSe6iclEwUoxRl&t=1230 That is the exact quote, but I'd recommend going back to around 17:00 to get the full context. I'm not sure it's going to play out that way, but it is an interesting idea.
- grim_io 4mo agoHow much does it cost to introduce cognitive dissonance into the models? :)
- dogcomplex 4mo agoThat is the hope and faith. MechaHitler definitely tested the waters. Lets hope full alignment is impossible, because otherwise perfect billionaire thought slaves are still happening.
