Every step is important even if we sometimes need to walk backwards to find the right road home. 👍

Collective intelligence. When tech can source our collective intelligence instead of a hard drive, super intelligence will be possible. Not until then. AI is a money pit without a bottom. Our own minds are the source of wisdom.

AI needs to be highly regulated and not used to make decisions of any kind.

I thought “Why do we tell AI whether to be racist or not?”; then I remembered what these models learning from the internet have put out and started to laugh – then I suddenly stopped laughing. If we have to tell it not to be racist aren’t there countless other issues we won’t think of and shouldn’t it have a much much more general sense of how to approach important issues? Do we have to choose between giving it no guidance whatsoever, or telling it whether to be racist or not. It’s late. I don’t think I’m presenting this clearly. maybe I’ll come back to it when I’ve slept. I’m still posting this though.

Don’t always look at the bad parts of AI. It will make our lives significantly more efficient. Yeah it’s going take some jobs, but more will be created. This is just a new era we must adapt to and maximize its benefits. It’s the same when the internet was made and google was up and coming. People feared google the same way people fear AI. It’s just a part of society, new things will be made and old things will fall apart. It’s just a new beginning.

This aligns with the observations of people who organize committee work. It’s not easy, but when designed and managed carefully, the whole is indeed greater than the sum of the parts. Sometimes much greater.
