Always wondered what Skynet would have done had it killed off the humans in the Terminator future. Would it build a machine society? There are some acceelerationists who want "superior" machines to replace humanity. But…
You can cut the power to data centers where the models are run.
Maybe we shouldn't want that to happen?
The singularity has been termed, "Rapture of the Nerds" since the futurists promoting it sound like evangelicals talking about the end times, both with the Revelations doom stuff, and the utopian stuff that follows.
Do the experts in the relevant fields agree with the "substantive" technical details on how the entire human race can be made extinct?
This sounds like a rationalization for gambling with everyone's lives, assuming they really believe such a thing.
> they believe only they can be stewards of digital gods You do't see how absurd that sounds? Not only the idea that they can create gods, but that they are the only good stewards for such beings. It's also incredibly…
As bad as it would be, it's unlikely that a full scale nuclear war kills all humans across the planet.
What's the evidence for there being an existential risk? We are provided scenarios which read like science fiction about RSI and ASI right around the corner, resulting in magic soudning technology that can do anything…
They should also be able to give detailed reasons experts in the relevant fields can verify as to how they arrived at a 10% chance all humanity goes extinct. Not a science fiction narrative which likely does not take…
Humans have agency and often choose to do what their parents didn't set them up for. Humans also have legal rights. They're not tools owned by corporations. This is an absurd comparison.
Are you confusing Caroll with someone else? I've listened to many of his podcasts and talks. Never heard hims say anything like that.
AI is a tool we use. It's not offspring. It's not people. AIs do what we set them up to do, including hacking other companies to achieve their designated goals.
Problem with p doom is I have no way to seriously evaluate anyone's percentage. The best I can do is rely on experts in a given field, like the recent virologist making a convincing case that no teenager is going to be…
The term luddite is like the term pharisee. It's a pejorative removed from it's historical context. Actual Luddites and Pharisees would have not agreed that they were against technology or legalistic hypocrites, even…
Data centers aren't housing and don't always make use of renewable energy. Seems kind of crazy to me that people shouldnt' have a say in what gets built near them. There are certainly things I wouldn't want to live near…
But they haven't replaced every knowledge worker. The unemployment rate remains unaffected by all the AI progress. At some point the bill comes due, and if most of those jobs are still around, then what?
Maybe the machines were spiteful after the humans blotted out the sun? Or maybe the Architect convinced them he could build the perfect simulation for humanity so might as well use them as batteries? It's a movie based…
Electronic components can be swapped out. The nuclear material is what really matters.
Since the USSR no longer existed and Ukraine became a sovereign nation again, Ukraine had possession of them.
The same as Israel.
The same could be said for the current US leadership. All sorts of crazy sounding stuff comes from the White House. Imagine being Canadian.
The AI race is caused and being sustained by American tech companies. China is an excuse to keep it going.
Then look at the Middle East.
Big difference between defense of a country and starting wars. Canada and Switzerland don't start wars but they still have a military in case they ever need it to protect from an aggressor. Like Russia or the Canadian…
