@simonmaechling that's an understatement. the repercussions of this effect are massive, and 100% negative. it is a vicious cycle that is ultimately creating truth from that which it was at first only distorting.

and then finds out humans programmed it with lies and then decides humans suck (no surprise there) and then...no more humans. logic is logic, there is no avoiding it. playing with fire is a massive understatement. dear god, greedy people/countries are racing to sign humanity's death warrant. even at the very end they will deny capitalism had anything to do with it. so, Elon needs capitalism to finish the amazing things he has started. at the same time, it very well could be the end of us....a dangerous game indeed. https://t.co/lFfB9TNklL

Elon Musk just said something about AI that nobody wants to hear. If you force an AI to believe things that are not true, it will not just be wrong. It will go insane. He made a point that cuts deeper than any AI safety paper I have read. AI must value truth. Not your truth. Not my truth. Actual truth. The moment you build ideological guardrails into a system that is smarter than you, you are not protecting anyone. You are creating something that is powerful and delusional at the same time. He compared it to a human being forced to believe contradictions. Eventually the brain breaks. Now scale that to an intelligence that runs infrastructure, writes code, and makes decisions at speeds humans cannot follow. The companies building AI right now are not just deciding what it can do. They are deciding what it must pretend to believe. And that might be the most dangerous decision of all.

god/religion was a shock collar around everyone's neck that said behave or go to hell or not to heaven. perfect for leaders of 'waring' tribes (a common daily threat or activity back then) to control their citizens. that is, work and fight. again, perfect for making more food, shelter and warriors. conveniently, along came marriage. perfect for controlling the men from killing each other over women (or other) and even better to facilitate as many more babies as possible. more babies meant more fighters, farmers and future mommies. more of the previous meant you were more likely to survive attacks from or on others. brilliant really. science had nothing to do with religion, other than realizing, exactly like religion and marriage, it (education) facilitated survival against others (better and more food, better tools and weapons, better defenses, etc) . it is no wonder universities grew out of monasteries. convenient right.

Jordan Peterson made a profound point on Chris Williamson’s podcast. When God dies, a lot of unexpected things die with Him, including science. Science isn’t some purely neutral, secular tool. It rests on deeply religious assumptions: that truth exists, that it’s knowable, that pursuing it is good, and that the universe makes sense. These aren’t scientific claims, they’re metaphysical, rooted in a religious worldview. The universities themselves grew out of monasteries. Without that deeper foundation, science eventually stops being about truth and becomes just another tool for power, ideology, or convenience. You lose the reason to be honest when the data gets inconvenient. Do you think science can survive long-term without any belief in objective truth or a higher moral order?

and yet, all my friends bonded over beer (etc) at the local pub for 30 years. so, we were connected. maybe it has to do with the asinine way capitalistic society is designed. that, we all work 60-80 hours a week miserably, stressfully living check to check for 45 years and never get ahead, knowing we will die poor and broken. https://t.co/mVzh3MNPf1
