Good look at a bad problem. The author is a friend from grad schol at the #University of #Colorado, where she was a faculty member when I was a grad student. She's since gone on to bigger and better things, and I've gone on to ... well, things.
Anyway. I've never been particularly worried about #Cylons, #Skynet, etc. Humans doing stupid human tricks, and using #AI to do them much faster, OTOH, yeah.
The internet community of anti-science #cranks is an example of #model #collapse happening at human speed. #Antivaxers, #creationists, #climate change #deniers et al. prey on people with legitimate questions about some particular aspect of the broad #consensus. Those people often go down an increasingly loony rabbit hole, and end up propagating the absurdity, sometimes adding their own bizarre spin which their new-found colleagues happily add to the ideology.
If this becomes part of the #academic ecosystem, with AI reviewers approving AI-generated #papers and no human checks on the process, the scholarly corpus will become hopelessly contaminated. I have no idea what to do about that.
@medigoth #ButlerianJihad will come sooner than expected.
@rubinjoni It's been a while since I read the Dune novels, but wasn't the Jihad against AIs themselves? As much as I enjoy Terminator and Battlestar Galactica, like I said I'm not really worried about the machines turning against us. Just humans doing really dumb things with them.
@medigoth It's just a world building thing: complete taboo on "thinking machines" (effectively, all computers), so certain people must be specially trained to perform demanding computational tasks. And they need the lsd/oil that can only be found on a single planet. Mentats and space navigators. The actual "war on computers" is just mentioned as something in the distant past.
Same butchery is happening from not long ago... Uncaring. mostly military mindset with bubbles of good people in between that don't get that the same programs are going on... In STEM and everything else... For power... It's up to individuals to correct that - No "company" or government will... please DM to start slowly the more-human work of contact between us all eventually...
@medigoth The thing I don't get it how people think other people became civilized all of a sudden - I mean we did aesthetically but all the same butchery happens that was not so long ago but somehow we can't / don't expect it again and again. Of course tech / #STEM is almost always focused for these things - do you think people pay for things unnecessarily ? I mean would you as government go into therapy for your nation or spend it on the panopticon stuff or what we see as various models of prisons for profit (unless you're helping in other ways the military company).
Will cut it a bit short somewhat but why do we have to wait until we're forced to join more and more together daily or have some extreme leader instead of doing out own human building without paying political bias (including the bias and conditions imposed by employers and sponsors). Why can't clever people do the empathy and compassion and trust work and ignore people like me to not see consistently to try and test... I guess some is denial too but the answer also will lie in you response to this (and I mean action not just polite reply).
I wish to engage you [all] nicely and think your post[s] consistently has a lot similarities in my articulation... of which we could just help each other (or just you help me) because really the that's the best we have (don't wait for tyrants to do it for you or really reveal their even-worse faces under the surface of everything). Being divided will get us there faster... so right now with *whoever* is up for it is best we have and who has energy for it I believe should be tested until we all see worse and take it upon ourselves and not give paranoid response or any excuse to do the responsible part ourself.
People like me who even with a bit of inaccuracy and a little help can help put the therapy, wisdom, love or whatever back - just don't ignore AND have blind-faith or inaction in the same expectations that have got us here. We're having our legs broken before getting here and told to be happy for crutches deliberately to stop or stifle people liberating everyone else (without the extreme either). It's just not what they want and that is out #1 (while you can do everything you do now too but not near-0 of what I say and yes I believe you do have to follow and test for a bit until many prove me wrong)
It's gotten so bad it's literally a reflection of our inaction..... Proportional in fact.
Which is why you and me not working together enables this...
Forget QOTO as the acronym for a minute and what it means but you and me and few others could help each other believe we are not duping each other and here for a reason the we could make QOTO for what it can be if ever learning is ever going to be put into practice AND not just for our uncaring employers
STEM is always owned by Government who is mostly military minded or uncaring entity who have "Companies" (no accident it's same meaning a 'company / unit' as extensions of that group who registers, contracts, rules them as their larger company and increasingly unfair regulator.
When are scientist, technologists, tech, educators, mathematicians, going to realise that?
And then put more measured / calculated effort in other independent people instead of all in pissing into the company wind complaining that the piss is pushing back on them and then some?
I'm giving you patterns and the answer we see undeniably, and ultimately to try just me via DM so we start a bit of a Petri dish of people and don't feel so helpless and constantly give the game away and energy to those that don't play WIN:WIN, and like giving debt etc to totally aim to break / disable you and I as THE basis for life (enslavement via debt as nation and individuals who shrug thinking it's the only way to go into negative maths and debt is the platform from which is terrible to 'grow' life and instead people ask why it grows negativity... negative numbers and stress on people = negative life)
Funding and cheating in hospitals it's all very lucrative too while 'healing' them as side project. (this is one is very hard for people to see or even accept - that hospitals still damage way more than the visible healing and like siphoning the patients overall as money is the underlying dark matter / void our energy/money goes into and doesn't come out)
And finally...
Of course #AI will take over in the same way... because #AI IS THE SAME HUMAN controllers and types at the top WITH AI computing power fed from everyone else. AI is not just computers on their own. 🤣
The AI is just another tree of growth to take over uncaringly...
Of course Humans with #AI will take over.... Because nobody human is learning how to practice humanly... unless you think mostly one-way text works which is the majority of communication right now we need to correct.
It's not only what the bad people do, it's what the good people don't do. #FreeSchool
Get in touch, please.
@medigoth
From there it is but a small step to denying consensus reality. That way lies madness, literally...
