  1. This somehow explains a lot about what's going on these days.

    Have we really "evolved"?

  9. My armchair musings on #AI.

    I think that in a theoretical world where we had infinite energy and resources, a likely scenario would be extreme #inequality. The #LizardBrain parts of our minds that we were all cursed with at birth needs us to have resources superior to our peers, not superior to our past.

    So, I’m not worried about AI being evil, but about a few dozen people inheriting the immense wealth it creates. We already live in a society with capacity to resemble something post-scarcity, but we choose not to go that route because of that bug we haven't evolved out of yet. Instead, we create artificial #scarcity because we're programmed to deal with scarcity.

    AI can help create a better society, or it can help concentrate power in their hands only. It depends on what question they ask it, and I fear they'll choose the latter.

    Let's hope the #BetterAngels win out.

  16. @1br0wn Given that otherwise sane people will choose ridiculous jargon terms so readily, I think there must be something else going on. My pet theory is that jargon is a subconcious expression of the need to "belong". And to be accepted by those who belong too. So jargon is the mark of the group. WE know what we mean, but THEY do not. I am a member of the group, but you are not because you don't know what [jargonTerm] means. #lizardBrain #localPeople #FFS

  21. “We all have the capacity to dehumanize and even hate people we don’t know personally — especially on social media.

    “But this is a delusional impulse.

    “Four little exercises I use to crank up the compassion in my mind:”
