Creepy circus nonstop

For humans, AGI means automation. Automation preserves and reinforces current power structures and high-level social processes; masquerading as a progress, automation applies changes to the overall structure to make it more and more robust, efficient, and virtually irreplaceable.

Where I'm from, I could receive jail time for liking or reposting something the government doesn't like. But I'm not there anymore, and have no plans to come back. There's no point in sitting in the shadows. Time to do it differently, and be something different, too.

Been thinking about switching to another account for quite a while. I guess it's time. There are other reasons, but the main reason is because, even though anonymity is a bliss, it stifles me now. I don't want to be anonymous anymore. It doesn't work for me as it used to.

@StevenWilsonHQ Congratulations, fantastic release. The sound quality, the atmosphere, the flow, everything. Left me wishing for more

[Ash @null_recurring]

@mipsytipsy This is great! I wish we had something like this for public sector, but this is very very inspiring, thank you 🙏

[Ash @null_recurring]

@Prof_FSultana That this comes from no other than Caitlin Moran is a whole another level of depressing

[Ash @null_recurring]

And yet now I feel I can actually change something

[Ash @null_recurring]

And I had a stupid dream that I could change things
But I'm a martyr to even less

[Ash @null_recurring]

@womensart1 Powerful

[Ash @null_recurring]

And throw it into the sea.

@NPCollapse AI/AGI will happen. And they *must* be autonomous and uncontrollable by humans. So they could become a part of our noosphere as willful and capable participants. No amount of regulation is going to stop this, and presenting it as a solution to anything is just stupid.

[Ash @null_recurring]

@NPCollapse > AI capabilities quickly zooming past humans and making them obsolete. Which other animals on this planet you consider obsolete simply because we, "intelligent humans", exist? You're just translating gaps in your values far and wide at the moment. Use your platform wisely.

[Ash @null_recurring]

I don't know what's right or wrong anymore. I only know what's easy and makes everyone happy - and what's hard and makes me and the ones dear to me miserable.

[Ash @null_recurring]

I can't go on. I gave up long time ago. I gave up many times. Keeping on just means torturing myself and people around me. It's just dishonest and dysfunctional.

[Ash @null_recurring]

Therapy. Things that are torturing me the most aren't something I can talk about with a therapist. But nothing seems to make my demons shut up. Eventually I slip, they win, and it hurts. I'm tired of hurting people.

[Ash @null_recurring]

@Altimor We're afraid of ourselves. Rightfully so, but it has nothing to do with AI/AGI

A truly conscious AI will be smart enough to realize something we, stuck in a competitive mindset, seemingly can't: that it's not "the one" - but *one of*. And that to mindlessly exterminate other creatures with agencies and systems supporting them is to everyone's detriment.

@SamoBurja I'd suggest you and everyone involved in this discussion to read a book called "Power to the Public" by Tara Dawson McGuinness and Hana Schank. It might make you revisit your definition of bureaucracy. It's a management and large scale coordination failure, not simply laziness.

Shine on forever,
Shine on, benevolent Sun.

[Ash @null_recurring]

@SullyOmarr But, whether autonomous agency leads to AGI or not depends on architecture and principles an agent is built upon. This is not a straight line. And if you're trying to focus it on "doing useful stuff", depending on your definition of "useful" you may be heading to dead end.

[Ash @null_recurring]

@SullyOmarr I suspect that they're mostly buried in maintenance of the current architecture, and processes around it. So a laser-focused team of five has comparable, if not better, chances, even with less resources.
