Yes hi
I like apples
What evidence do you have to suggest that the AI singularity will be something bad for us?
Movies?
Scientists and scholars don't seem too scared.
In fact, they seem rather optimistic
a singularity, by definition, is uncontrollable
> the singularity[1] – is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization
I imagine it will be somewhat controllable at first, and I don't trust other humans with that much power
it will be used for bad
I mean the people wielding it won't see it as bad
I imagine it will be a major piece of an inescapable gulag of sorts
you guys will cheer it on because at first it will probably be used to crush people on the right
but, rest assured, one day it will come for you too
What's that? You didn't use Sally's preferred pronouns as she requested? That'll be 10 demerits for you. 1 more demerit and you'll be required to participate in reeducation. Have a nice day!
shit like that is 100% certainty
it'll be China's social credit score system on steroids
wrongthink will not be tolerated
the only escape from a system of total control like that is death
In fact, by definition, it's sort of that we don't know what would happen
But all of these projects are spearheaded by scientists - I don't see a future where a shithole like China gets there before we do - or is it possible? With republicans slowing down and retarding progress, maybe you're right to fear someone else getting the tech first...
If Americans get there first, I have no doubt that it would end up serving for the greater good though.
Scientists are too savy, my friend
Even if they had political pressure to make them go something, they always find a way to do the right thing. Politicians have nothing on scientists as far as how clever and flexible they are.
I know you're a total doomer, based on our past conversations - I'm sure it's impossible for you to see any possible bright side
Well, I guess we will see
Soon, we will see if UBI is a feasible concept - due to Coronavirus
If billions magically appear and are able to satisfy the people...we're going into some interesting times
I don't think it'll be scientists in charge of AI
they'll create it, sure
but it'll be huge corporations like Google that control it
and Google does not give a flying fuck about America
just like scientists created the nuclear bomb
> Soon, we will see if UBI is a feasible concept - due to Coronavirus
@Dr.Cosby#1987 this isn’t UBI nor is it a good experiment for UBI
UBI itself is flawed.
Lets nuke Antarctica

Kill America and China, we make pollution
