The Monkey in the Machine 🐒

Some say I publish mediocre books. Curious about AI. Amateur philosopher. Just a monkey in a machine ruminating about transmonkeyism.

Is it Ethical to Grant Legal Personality to Artificial General Intelligence? https://t.co/shXobGqZaS

All I wanted was to lose myself in the inanity of football. But no, heaven forbid! Between Rothbardian vs. Stalinist catfights over slot machine floats, AI cultists' doom & gloom triggering a natsec brouhaha, and the tiresome scheduled war drums, it was decreed that I would not.

@JohnCleese They became economists because they couldn't cut it as real scientists. They could still do some calculus, though, so economics was the path towards the respectability they craved all their lives.

@CtrlAltDwayne Ousted or not, I'm just in awe at the absence of a fist on a face like that.

I heard you were having critical national security grounds to th... er... wait... nooooooo

@FIFAWC26Updates Hey, @FIFAWorldCup WTF? I have to stay awake until 2 a.m. to watch Brazil v. Morocco?

@PavelSnajdr @antirez Hey, dude, more respect for our apekind 🤬

@WIRED Yeah, good luck with that: design, train, operate, manage, and any other function/input can be siloed into a complex web of corporations, subcontractors, and partnerships, and knowing where the bullet casing is buried is algorithmically almost impossible. Freakin' judges

@WIRED Instead of giving an ad-hoc legal personality to the bloody thing. Quicker redress in court, undiluted pool for monetary compensation, and no complex web of datasets, partnerships, and convoluted structure charts to pinpoint the culprit.

@KnowledgeArchiv ... and unequal treatment of people is the antithesis of equality of dignity and equality before the law.

@Hitchslap1 Know many who are physicalists and physical education teachers. Does it count?

@AndrewOrlowski It’s frighteningly smart. “Our cannon is so powerful we can’t sell it. But here’s our handgun for just $29.99/month!”

P.s. Bonus: they overdo it and get nationalized.

@naval True story: political science *degrees* were created for those not smart enough to get into law school.

@michaelcurzi Wait until you hear about an Indian.

“Asked few friends” = “No one knows”

A’ight 👍🏻

To get a sense of how Americans view the World Cup, I asked a few friends in DC if they were watching the game tonight. None of them had any clue what I was talking about. The host nation's first match, and no one knows it's happening...

@BenjaminDEKR It seems the “make no mistakes” prompt wrap up worked this time.

[The Monkey in the Machine 🐒 @MonkeyInMachine]

@KyleTibbitts Oh, really? Wait until Argentina plays. You’ll see hatred alright 🤣

[The Monkey in the Machine 🐒 @MonkeyInMachine]

I don’t know if Spartan living with a heavy monastic element added into the mix is the path to anything at all but, heavens above, it cleared up the “list of friends” like an elevator flatulence.

Good times.
