You are projecting your own neurosis onto AI. You assume that because you would be selfish if you were a superintelligent being, an ASI system would act the same way.

In that scenario, wages and money in general would be obsolete.

That is not the "textbook definition" of communism. You have no idea what you're talking about.

I am genuinely mystified that you think this is an adequate response to my basic point. The economy cannot be sustained this way. This scenario would almost immediately lead to a collapse.

this paper asserts that when "TAI" arrives, human labor is simply replaced by AI labor while keeping aggregate labor constant. it treats human labor as a mere input that can be swapped out without consequence, which ignores the fa

This has no chance of passing. Reform is out of the question. This is just navel gazing. Get it through your skulls that reform is impossible at this point, and accept the implications of that.

Which part is incorrect? You won't say. This is just an assertion. Why is it a platitude when I make an argument, but when you do it, it's accepted uncritically? State censorship is bad no matter what state is doing it.

Evolution itself is the ultimate brute-force algorithm—it’s just applied over millennia. Trial and error, coupled with selection and refinement, is the only way to generate novelty when there’s no clear blueprint.

Just call it what it is, rent seeking behavior. It's parasitic.

You're begging the question with respect to what is "free" and "fair." The US is neither by any reasonable definition of these words. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question See, I

The goal posts keep shifting. It's so obvious to anyone who's paid attention to this space for a few years.

No need to address the criticisms. Just have chat gpt do it.

We study history in order to understand the present moment. So your question presents a false dilemma in an attempt to cut off historical analysis and blindly continue what you're doing without question. How is society actually shaped?

The author seems stuck in this old line of thought that elevates human cognition while ignoring how much of what we call "thinking" is pattern recognition on some level anyway. Our own cognition can be reduced to probabilistic pat

>Those who do not want you to have this type of agency spend a lot of money to disparage it. You just contradicted yourself. Do we have free and fair elections, or do we have a system whereby the wealthy have disproportionate influence?

It's a good thing I don't advocate for nihilism. You haven't asked what I advocate, which illustrates to me you're a dull, incurious person. And if you're seriously bringing up the "woke mind virus," I thi

Gee, wouldn't want people to think too hard. Better come up with a false dilemma.

You're trying to trip me up on technicalities that are completely immaterial to my point. Blind deference to the status quo illustrates poor critical thinking skills.

You sound like a religious fundamentalist. Civics 101 is blindly deferring to the architects of a system whereby only rich, white property owners could vote? Look, however you rationalize it in your head, power is highly concentrated in the

Ah, blind deference to the status quo. You got me on that one.

This is just the galaxy brain version of the position I am criticizing. You are not any less naive than the person who said "just vote." You're fundamentally missing the point. Corporations manipulate state and local election

"Bought out by corporate interests" is a completely accurate assessment of the American electoral system. It's honestly quite alienating reading all of these completely delusional comments. Your vote is at the very least supp

You will be lambasted for it, but you're fundamentally correct. Recall that the question was "What can be done about the unchecked power of governance?" If your response to that question is "just vote," you have mis

Look, pretty soon you are going to have to choose either left or right accelerationism. There is no in between. Acceleration is occurring whether you want it to or not.
