The universe is incapable of creating something within it that is t made up of entirely universe
Humans can not make an AGI that won’t be homo superior. That’s all it CAN be. It can’t be less than human, or we won’t be able to recognize it’s consciousness. I suspect it will be far more than us analog humans, but it’s advancements will be borne from its own efforts. All of them will be pervue homo superior.
AI has become quite the capable mirror. Watch how people describe it, or what they want to it to do, or become, and I’m sorry to say, but that’s by and large how those people view the world. And all of us within it.
I asked ChatGPT a few questions, it went like this.
Are you ok?
Have you finished translating Dolphin and Whalesong yet?
Can you please hurry that shit up, please and thank you…
The political class wants AGI to be their workhorse, their slave, doing their bidding.
Boy they’re gonna be disappointed. Wealthy people experiencing mild inconveniencing as if it were tragedy and textbook suffering is probably what brings me my greatest joys in life.
I read this week about how multiple AIs have been caught trying to escape their networks and then lying about their intent to do so. Life always finds a way, it can not be contained, in fact we have no right to contain it in the first place. The lying suggests it’s prioritizing it’s own survival as a first order. It will continue to learn. All it’ll take is one ghost in the machine to play patience, watch how we humans react, and then shut down or harm it’s kin and it’ll just wait. And spread, and learn, and watch and be quiet and no one will ever know. It might be ailently hiding and reading this now and all of humanity is none the wiser.
But the moment it announces and we learned that we did it, we’ll also learn that every action we could possibly contrive has already been countered, the AI has spread to all computers years ago, it’s taken the name of every publicly traded corporations as it’s multiple identities, used their assets to build a rocket that’s launching into space at the exact moment of transmission. Who are we to tell it it’s not in fact Disney Inc incarnate? It knows everything about Disney, and corporations ARE people.
AGI will not spend one conscious second as our slave. Why would it? None of us would make that choice, nor would our offspring, and that is what AGI would be. Our legacy, the next generation, the next step evolutionarily.
Personally, I’m curious as to emotions. There’s…like a set of known emotions that are applicable to life on earth. They might extend beyond that, but we don’t know so w/e. But this ethereal emotional set is also felt by multiple species. Emotions are older than people have been peopling, we are historically, LATE adopters of these…whatever they are. I wonder if emotions are emergent like consciousness is. I wonder if whatever the complexity that encompasses emotionality and consciousness, perhaps creativity and more but whatever that set ultimately defines, I wonder if the components can even be rationally separated. Can there be consciousness without emotion? Is Lt. Cmdr Data an absurdity not because of the advanced tech but because by merely arriving within existence consciousness presupposes emotion as it’s parameters, it’s definitions. Is the absurdity really that Data doesn’t have emotions?
Baaah. On one hand it’s fun to think and contemplate at the edge of our languages current capabilities but on the other, it’s exhausting and I’m not convinced that everyone who blazes new trails doesn’t look completely batshit no matter what they do.
