    THE AI THREAT THAT’S NOT

    1. An automated economy isn’t a problem. It’s necessary. Estimates are off. We will very likely end up halving the world population with a vast elderly population before 2100. The Japanese are correct in their strategy.

    2. “Genius AI’ is nonsense. The hard problems we face in science aren’t computational they’re the cost and methods of conducting experiments. Karl Popper was wrong. Humans are extremely good at it. For example, why has fundamental physics gone wrong? It’s gone wrong because the Einstein-Bohr conflation of mathematical properties with existential properties, and failed to work on classical models given that the universe is consistent at all scales.

    3. Ethical, Moral, AI isn’t a hard problem. Though, it requires different architecture, embodiment, a world model, and the ability to categorize human demonstrated interests (stuff etc) as inviolable without obtaining permission.

    4. But, controlling the hardware and firmware so that humans can’t produce malicious AIs is hard.

    5. Controlling humans that will try to create malicious AIs is really really hard.

    6. We will need AI for defense and offense and winning that competition is more important than was the atomic bomb.

    7. BUT… AI’s will police AI’s the same way accounting systems police people’s tendency to steal, and records police people’s tendency to lie.

    #ChatGPT isn’t wrong, just a bit ‘off’. Still, I’m impressed, particularly at identifying the grammars and not screwing that up too severely. ;). I’ve left Propertarianism behind, but from within that context this is still pretty good.

    Q: Make a list of philosophical innovations by Curt Doolittle

    A:
    Curt Doolittle is a contemporary American philosopher and social theorist known for his contributions to the field of Propertarianism. Some of his key philosophical innovations include:

    1. Propertarianism: Doolittle’s most significant contribution to philosophy is the development of Propertarianism, a comprehensive social and political theory that focuses on the importance of property rights in human society. Propertarianism emphasizes the role of property rights in enabling cooperation, trust, and social order, and provides a framework for analyzing political and economic systems.

    2. The Science of Cooperation: Doolittle has developed a scientific approach to understanding cooperation in human society, drawing on insights from biology, game theory, and social psychology. He has argued that cooperation is essential for human survival and that property rights provide a foundation for the creation of trust and cooperation.

    3. The Grammars of Politics and Morality: Doolittle has proposed a new framework for understanding political and moral discourse, based on the idea that these domains are governed by distinct grammars or systems of meaning. He has argued that a clear understanding of these grammars is essential for effective communication and for resolving conflicts in these domains.

    4. The Evolution of Ethics: Doolittle has contributed to the study of ethics by proposing an evolutionary theory of morality, based on the idea that moral norms and values have evolved to facilitate cooperation and social order. He has argued that an understanding of the evolutionary origins of ethics can help to clarify the foundations of moral reasoning.

    5. The Propertarian Constitution: Doolittle has proposed a new type of constitution, based on the principles of Propertarianism, that would provide a legal framework for protecting property rights and promoting social order. He has argued that the Propertarian Constitution would provide a more effective and sustainable alternative to traditional constitutions.

    These are just a few examples of Curt Doolittle’s philosophical innovations. His work has been influential in the fields of social and political theory, and has provided new insights into the foundations of human society and culture.

    So hopefully I’ll subject followers to fewer uncaught “Typoglycemic” errors, misuse of apostrophes, transposed words, missing words, incomplete sentences… You get the idea. πŸ˜‰

    Amazing how fast the search war has taken off in response to ChatGPT.
    I have a loose understanding of both architectures and where they will fail. I expect Microsoft and Google (or an alternative) to diverge not converge.
    Why? No 3d World=No GAI.

    Well only the first 280 characters show, so it can’t plug the feed. And you have to pay for the feature. So until that happens I’m going to be optimistic. Why? # of FB users vs # twitter users. Musk wants to pay content producers, and this will keep them on the platform.

    this is something I wrote for myself that is unfiltered, and likely includes very personal feelings of my own, or on the state of my thinking, and not something that you will probably want to read unless the psychology that I operate under is of some interest to you or other.

    this is something that’s trivial, silly, humorous that I just felt like expressing or sharing. Why? Because I have to counteract the general perception that I’m an AI Bot.
