It doesn't even need to be as generally intelligent as humans, no, to be danger

2018-12-27 07:28:09 UTC  

we already have this technology, it's just not in widespread adoption yet

2018-12-27 07:28:26 UTC  

but again we can clearly argue for why relying on AI is the *false step* and commit ourselves to bettering of the species along biological lines and in away that doesn't pose existential danger

2018-12-27 07:28:29 UTC  

to ignore this,

2018-12-27 07:28:31 UTC  

to think you cannot,

2018-12-27 07:28:45 UTC  

would demand that humans are suicidal and have no survival instinct

2018-12-27 07:29:41 UTC  

again, improving general cognitive capacity of human beings

a) lessens reliance on AI
b) makes people more and more aware of all the risks of AI
c) allows people to become more and more *organically minded* as a consequence

```but again we can clearly argue for why relying on AI is the false step and commit ourselves to bettering of the species along biological lines and in away that doesn't pose existential danger```

you will not ween everyone off against buying into mutations (and doing this will be socially acceptable by that time) that seem biologically beneficial to them.

the point is that users will replace non users, always, being more healthy, productive and sexually attractive. and that mutation will become wide spread.

2018-12-27 07:30:29 UTC  

the better people understand the risk landscape facing us in 21st century, very much the better for *our species chances' of survival*

it isn't entirely clear to me how you would argue against this

2018-12-27 07:30:37 UTC  

currently, not many grasp this

2018-12-27 07:30:42 UTC  

the real extent of the challenge ahead

2018-12-27 07:31:13 UTC  

you're not saying anything at this point

2018-12-27 07:31:23 UTC  

@Gerçek why would we want our species' future to be determined by an AI?

2018-12-27 07:31:29 UTC  

I certainly don't

2018-12-27 07:31:34 UTC  

I know very, very few people who do

2018-12-27 07:31:36 UTC  

that is my question to you, fren.

2018-12-27 07:31:41 UTC  

I do not, no

2018-12-27 07:31:45 UTC  

at no stage have I argued for this

2018-12-27 07:31:46 UTC  

that's not how people think.

2018-12-27 07:31:53 UTC  

that's far too long term

2018-12-27 07:31:59 UTC  

Perhaps make people smarter and they will be wiser? Idk??

2018-12-27 07:32:04 UTC  

like

2018-12-27 07:32:12 UTC  

what I propose is a *solution to the problem you posit*

2018-12-27 07:32:21 UTC  

and people will be detatched from the end product, they don't care if the mutation came from a human engineer or an AI, if it's good it's good

2018-12-27 07:32:34 UTC  

dumb humans maybe

2018-12-27 07:32:39 UTC  

by that time again, it will be socially normal to do this.

2018-12-27 07:32:41 UTC  

the objective then would be to heighten our species

2018-12-27 07:33:13 UTC  

when you realize most people vote for instant gratification instead of long term sustainability 😩

2018-12-27 07:33:24 UTC  

Again, it doesn't have to be like that at all

2018-12-27 07:33:27 UTC  

again,

2018-12-27 07:33:36 UTC  

this is literally a problem **only** if you *insist we stay as we are*

2018-12-27 07:34:06 UTC  

the transhumanist movement needs to be defeated yes

2018-12-27 07:34:07 UTC  

I agree

2018-12-27 07:34:08 UTC  

this

2018-12-27 07:34:19 UTC  

"let AI live in the minds of every single one of us" type of charlatan

2018-12-27 07:34:23 UTC  

this needs to be defeated

2018-12-27 07:34:28 UTC  

but that has no connection to what I propose

2018-12-27 07:34:35 UTC  

you can do that with literally every problem posed by anything in the world, *it's only a problem if you insist we stay as we are*

2018-12-27 07:34:49 UTC  

even this tech you're talking about has some constraints mate

2018-12-27 07:34:58 UTC  

your a Utopian individual 😄

2018-12-27 07:35:04 UTC  

I mean what is your solution then? Do not improve the intelligence levels of humans as they venture into this landmark century with all the perils *you clearly are aware exist?*
