A.I. is nothing new.
We've had it all along,
and blamed each other.

While those on that invisible other side enjoy human folly, i.e competition.
Ever see competition in Nature that doesn't better the species..?
Explain this, por favor... not sure what you're saying...mnaz wrote: October 30th, 2019, 3:42 am Not sure why we're so worried about synthetic artificial intelligence subverting us, when organic has been ramping up that same path for quite awhile..

It’s now clear to me that “not scaring the horses” is as irresponsible as standing in a burning building selling wet napkins instead of shouting fire.
Anyone who has made any serious attempt at following the logic through realises we are actually campaigning against industrial colonialist civilisation. For anybody in the industrialised world, this is the source of all our wealth. It’s what pays all our wages. Good luck sawing down the tree branch you are sitting on.
Pretty grim outlook. Though I'd like to think we bacteria are more self-aware and capable of at least some degree of self-regulation than microbial hordes...By now, the Earth’s immune system has rightly identified us as a virus. It’s firing up its antibodies and stimulating a fever to rid itself of the disease. We are like any other organism. Much like bacteria, with access to an abundant energy source — in our case, fossil fuels — we fill up our petri dish. We engulf or expel everything else. When we run out of energy and resources to exploit, the overblown population crashes back to something manageable; or it dies off completely. It’s not evil, it’s just the way life works.
