@GaryMarcus @neuroAnjiolina @davetroy And I am warning that many smart logical people are fully able to come to this conclusion. It's best to deal in facts than in fictions, and not lie to oneself about human nature

@GaryMarcus @neuroAnjiolina @davetroy I'm saying I wouldn't do this. When I was young I had this pov because I was evidently insane.

@neuroAnjiolina @davetroy @Grimezsz honestly why would you sell out humans so some piece of software can persist for a long time?

I don’t get this.

@davetroy @GaryMarcus See this "optimism" by Grimes on immortality which actually means extinction of humanity.

wth is this. So there are people like Grimes who want to accelerate AI, because they believe it will save our species but if it becomes like a god, they will submit to it and allow humans to go extinct.

I am now thinking that Grimes and Elon actually deserved each other.

@GaryMarcus Agree, and generally of the opinion that tech should be a pro-social force that doesn’t inherently involve the formation of an enemy out-group. If it’s really good, it brings everyone benefits. Pursue the really good.

Feel the same.

The statement engages in a discussion about human nature, intelligence, and self-deception, suggesting that high intelligence does not necessarily equate to sound reasoning. It critiques the tendency of individuals to deceive themselves, which is framed as a dangerous path. The statement is part of a broader conversation about AI, human nature, and the implications of technological advancement.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly harm others but critiques a general tendency in human behavior.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    It promotes understanding by highlighting the limitations of intelligence and the dangers of self-deception. [+1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism without personal attacks, focusing on ideas rather than individuals. [+1]
