I like apples

@qwasi Looks like Boomer fear to me

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

So, I understand fear regarding the basic premise that it could be "out of control"

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

@Dr.Cosby#1987 this isn’t UBI nor is it a good experiment for UBI

@Dr.Cosby

UBI itself is flawed.

Lets nuke Antarctica

Kill America and China, we make pollution

Not as much as India and China
