@HFreinacht Thank you for this. I think you make a good argument against teleology but the covert manipulation of events, and metamemes is ignored. That has been happening since ancient Egypt. There are even pre-Modern, Modern and Postmodern versions of it that you could explore.

@Plinz @ferdousbhai Homeschooled kids typically find their friends and social world within sports, music, dance or other such activities. It can work quite well and result in the same long-term friendships and connections other kids build in a school context.

@Plinz Remember what Marc Andreessen said on Rogan. Biden officials told him there'd be comprehensive regulation and control over a few blessed big AI companies including restictions on startups and AI dev. One hand waves over "Safety" while the other adds AI into "Wisner's Wurlitzer".

@DarioAmodei without feeding the fires of war, without repeating the mistakes that man has made in extending his writ around this globe of ours.

@DarioAmodei be a sea of peace or a new terrifying theater of war. I do not say the we should or will go unprotected against the hostile misuse of [AI] any more than we go unprotected against the hostile use of land or sea, but I do say that [AI] can be explored and mastered

@Sam_Badawi Boring Company could someday make oil pipelines that Iran via the Houthis can't easily blow up.

@lootcorp @GaryMarcus Exactly. Gibson already worked through so much of what is coming.

@gmiller @GaryMarcus With selective breeding humans turned the wolf a creature utterly indifferent to them into a dog that absolutely worships and adores them. Time to figure out how to do something analogous with AI rooted just as deep as it is in the dog. Post gestational "alignment" is not enough.

@Plinz If by not physical you mean by virtue of the fact they are a simulation running on the brain like Minecraft is a simulation running on a computer then I think I can agree with that.

@GenFlynn Gore Vidal wrote in one of his books about how big ag figured out that farmers only sold their land to them when their children went to college and wouldn't come home to take over the family farm. So they created the GI Bill to send farm boys to college after the service...
