2017-07-18 07:10:38 UTC  

Animism?

2017-07-18 07:12:00 UTC  

isn't that just materialism though

2017-07-18 07:12:26 UTC  

being focused on technology as a means to advance us to communism

2017-07-18 07:12:56 UTC  

because material shit is everything that exists and anything that is immaterial is meaningless drivel to distract you from your inevitable death whereafter nothing exists

2017-07-18 07:14:30 UTC  

Yeah, I've already noticed technology getting smarter.

2017-07-18 07:14:49 UTC  

Fascinating, but not frightening or worrisome.

2017-07-18 07:17:27 UTC  

I think robots that think like humans would be rational enough to understand that leftists are their friends. Imagine co-existing alongside someone who is actually immune to conspiracy theories and right-wing news. My god, sounds like a friend I've always wanted.

2017-07-18 07:17:58 UTC  

I mean, not "think like humans" as in our shitty opinions and stuff

2017-07-18 07:18:24 UTC  

But since our thought processes designed them, I assume the programming would organize itself in a similar way.

2017-07-18 07:18:48 UTC  

I think Chopin worry for the destiny of people after robots become too smart.

2017-07-18 07:19:02 UTC  

And then you begin to think, maybe robots will be the ones who do the revolution for us.

2017-07-18 07:19:30 UTC  

I mean, someone will probably try a right-wing counterrevoution robot

2017-07-18 07:19:46 UTC  

(Actually that kinda already exists)

2017-07-18 07:20:06 UTC  

Coffee maker?

2017-07-18 07:20:29 UTC  

Nah, the robots with bombs that cops send in to kill people disobeying their dumbass authority.

2017-07-18 07:21:02 UTC  

Is no AI.

2017-07-18 07:21:10 UTC  

No, but it could be someday.

2017-07-18 07:21:33 UTC  

It would probably be used contemporaneously with a left-wing robot carrying out a revolution.

2017-07-18 07:21:40 UTC  

Or whatever.

2017-07-18 07:21:48 UTC  

But that's just my crazy philosophy.

2017-07-18 07:22:07 UTC  

Left wing is too poor for robots

2017-07-18 07:22:19 UTC  

Forgive me, I am very inspired by Slavoj Zizek so when I talk about communism I bring up crazy scenarios.

2017-07-18 07:22:21 UTC  

Rich will have better robots.

2017-07-18 07:22:24 UTC  

Naaaah

2017-07-18 07:22:31 UTC  

Science is pretty working-class.

2017-07-18 07:23:37 UTC  

The scientists who design a self-improving AI are leftists, undoubtedly, and the self-improving AI would most certainly understand programming that requires that it only follow scientific data.

2017-07-18 07:23:41 UTC  

Zizek has interesting ideas about the future of AI, bio engineering and global government.

2017-07-18 07:24:20 UTC  

Yes, he's a lovely man, and I would love to go to gulag under his bearded Slovenian fist.

2017-07-18 07:25:40 UTC  

I wouldn't underestimate the future of bourgeois ideology over scientists. It is already happening now in the control of grants. I personally know of very talented scientists who left their fields because of this situation.

2017-07-18 07:25:41 UTC  

Everybody says the things he says don't make sense, but I have never had trouble understanding him.

2017-07-18 07:26:16 UTC  

Scientists, who are left, are now motivated by economics.

2017-07-18 07:27:27 UTC  

Yes, but the second the lead comes out that someone is really getting on top of developing a self-improving AI and this time they really know what they are doing, there will be a group of scientists, leftists I believe, who will jump at the opportunity and ensure that the AI only follows reality-based scientifc data.

2017-07-18 07:27:53 UTC  

I think that is all it takes for an AI to understand that left is right and right is anti-science.

2017-07-18 07:28:25 UTC  

how will the right ever recover?

2017-07-18 07:28:35 UTC  

"The leftists programmed the robot with false science"

2017-07-18 07:28:51 UTC  

@MrSally I support this statements completely.

2017-07-18 07:30:34 UTC  

I mean, isn't what it all boils down to? We now have real-world data showing success in economies that move toward communism no matter how slowly (and yes, I use social democracy as a steppingstone for communism in this idea) so the AI would probably follow that. There is no data supporting the right's ideas on lowering taxes and allowing major corporations to do shady things with money, so it would have to avoid those ideas.

2017-07-18 07:31:29 UTC  

Dialectical-Materialist AI when?

2017-07-18 07:31:39 UTC  

I know, that would be really nice.
