AI and democracy

Apropos of staying human, rejecting nerd reich’s techno-utopian elitism is crucial: the primary danger of #AI is not machines becoming human, but humans adapting to machine-like efficiency and legibility. We know very well where this can lead.

@gilduran to @thorbenson in a interview for #DepthPerception about his new book, "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism & the War on Democracy":

"I believe it’s becoming one of the defining stories of American history — the effort by Silicon Valley venture capitalists to seize control of the nation & essentially roll back democracy.

...I think we’re in a phase right now where we need to make people aware of exactly what’s happening & why it’s happening. In my book, I point the finger at these evil oligarchs, but we’re complicit in that. We’re giving them all of our attention & our money.

...We have to rethink how everything has been structured around us. We deserve technology. It’s something we, I think, have a right to. But right now, it’s being controlled by a smaller & smaller group of people who have the worst ideas for the future, who see a dystopian future."

"Wenn wir eine Billion Menschen hätten, hätten wir zu jeder Zeit 1000 Mozarts und 1000 Einsteins" -- Jeff Bezos

Was ich am #Kosmismus nicht verstehe: Warum sollte eine galaktische Menschheit eine höhere Fertilitätsrate als die Menschheit auf der Erde haben? Da muss man schon eine Gesellschaft schaffen, in der Frauen zum Kinderkriegen gezwungen werden oder in der Kinder im Reagenzglas wachsen.

Wenn man gleichzeitig noch an die #Singularität glaubt und an die Gott-KI: Wozu sollte man dann noch 1000 Einsteins und 1000 Mozarts brauchen?
#TESCREAL ist so ein Schwachsinn…

The #TESCREALists declare their #AI #pause open letter to be a success. #TESCREAList #MaxTegmark says: "The letter has had more impact than I thought it would. [...] I felt there was a lot of pent-up anxiety around going full steam ahead with AI, that people around the world were afraid of expressing for fear of coming across as scare-mongering luddites."

And indeed it has been a success; the same #GuardianNewspaper article from which I lifted the quote above goes on to use the laughable #TESCREAL posture of #hyperintelligent #AI to storm past the very real current societal harms of #AI as outlined by @timnitGebru, @emilymbender and others, completely muddying the water.

"Fears around AI development range from the immediate, such as the ability to generate deepfake videos and mass-produce disinformation, to the existential risk posed by super-intelligent AIs that evade human control or make irreversible and highly consequential decisions."

That was the intent of the letter all along
