@GaryMarcus @midjourney perhaps i haven't read those books as deeply as you but 1984 would suggest we should push for whatever path maximizes the freedom of expression across humanity right? brave new world suggests we should make machines not just of superhuman intelligence but also empathy? maybe im…

@DavidSHolz @midjourney Fully agree. and we need to read both utopia and dystopia to figure out how to get to closer to the former and further from the latter.

Treating people humanely, rather than exploiting them, seems pretty essential.

Spoiler alert: Brave New World was not a utopia. Nor was 1984.

Dear @midjourney’s @davidsholz,

I would welcome a conversation with you about how to bring about a positive AI future, starting with a plan for compensating artists, writers, musicians, and other creators for work that is often used without their consent.
