There were quite a few personal jabs sprinkled in there, I wouldn't sell yourself so short.I just braindumped the boilerplate rhetoric I already had in my head from previous conversations with people who were paranoid/catastrophising AI.
Most of my opinions are formed on governments before modern luxury and passive aggression. Rome, Assyria, China, Nazi Germany/Italy/Japan. Those who seek power get their control through government, or religion which then becomes a theorocracy. Nothing has changed since then, we have just become harder to herd, but that can change. Those bad apples are always sprouting up looking for any tool they can use to get to the top, consequences be damned.I'm not a big fan of modern power structures, governments, megacorporations either.
I simply don't see any walls there, no situation in which intuition doesn't have effect, since it is simply seeing things impartially, as they are, and how they are read by you. The Dao is the flow of all things, to understand its currents you can understand all things and what all things may be.I agree when it comes to things like interpersonal relations, understanding yourself, what works best for you, and ensuring your own happiness in life. But not when it comes to technology, macroeconomics, and the future of the human race.
Yes, both are of equal value, two hands, twin serpents. In some cases, emotion gets the truth across better, though, and in others it is logic, but backing one up with the other helps. I simply don't have the facts because I can't fucking stand coding, statistical analysis, or math. I choose the creative and symbolic way of speaking, not the factual & logical way.Yes, fair enough, I wouldn't want to live in an emotionless, purely intellectual fucking machine world either. But there has to be a balance. You need both for their own uses.
I personally prefer the thoughtful, smooth, precise kind of conversation that always keep respect, dignity, and unity in mind. I believe beauty comes from thoughtfulness, and human interaction can be one of the most beautiful things on the planet.In my life and in my casual conversations with friends, I like to keep things fast, blunt, barebones.
We are masks. I behave differently with my friends than I do with my boss, and I behave on Discord differently than I do here. I prefer the thought and craft of forum posts, Discord is impulsive and reactionary. Though nothing has brought me as much joy as getting kicked from the Discord server, that actually made my week.keeping discord and the forum separate.
No comment, lol.TOXIC BTW
That's pretty based.I literally link them to mental health hotlines and resources.
Boots or dress shoes please. If you want suspiciously large shoes you should see a size 13 it's absurd. Personally I can't wait to die.I'll bring you those suspiciously large shoes you want...
The humans in the Matrix used EMP'S and it wasn't a cure-all, that's for sure. Plus, with radio and satellite data-transfer, the AI's could transmit their consciousness from one dying body to a new fresh one like those Christian Cylon fucks.Yeah definitely, but therein also lies AI's greatest weakness. It lives inside computers, and is ultimately limited by silicon, energy, and being connected via elecromagnetism (WiFi)
I think there is, but the first step is acknowledging the very real existential threat to creating a thing complex enough to become self aware.but if we are headed towards that, there's nothing we can do anyway so I'd rather not wallow in misery over it.
You may laugh at this, but there's a book, "A New Science of Heaven" that examines Plasma, and the way it has behaved in laboratories... it exhibits behavior that shows consciousness & awareness: the activity in our brains is essencially electrical signals. And there are supermassive clouds of plasma lurking around the moon and Earth, large enough to have enough computing power to track & record everything that happens on our planet down to the interractions of atoms. It may not be as eldritchly aesthetic as Yog Sothoth, but that shit genuinely scares me. So if AI isn't enough of an abstract threat to worry about, you could look up in fear at the formless clouds of plasma, watching and judging you. Perhaps they even use the internet to express their grievances
