I read about 60% of it and skimmed the rest and my conclusion is:
Man, I just. don't. care.
Why should I worry about this hypothetical future dystopia, which seems to me incredibly unlikely to come to pass, rather than the glaring and terrifying current dystopia being enacted by Donald Trump in the USA?
- morkalork 4mo agoAt this point I'm like, if it happens it happens. There's no point caring because I'm the equivalent of an ant in the grand scheme of things.
- matheusmoreira 4mo agoThere's got to be something we can do though...
- justonepost2 4mo agoof course there’s things we could do on a societal level. nothing’s actually inevitable. but we won’t do anything, because the normative argument (we’re condemning people to die of cancer if we don’t put all our resources into the fastest possible AI development) will win every time.
- morkalork 4mo agoIf we're going to go that direction, let's get the AI to re-write some of our DNA and go the full transgenic sci-fi arc
- justonepost2 4mo agoI’m all set thanks
- morkalork 4mo agoWell don't worry, it probably wouldn't be us or our progeny going on that adventure
- morkalork 4mo agoYou could write a blog post analyzing a few of the what-if scenarios
- tonyedgecombe 4mo agoNot being part of the problem is the base level for me. Beyond that I think you need to be fairly stoical about the whole thing.
