So we stop AI, uninvent it,
what then?
We go back to how it was before AI
And everyone will have a better life?
Let's hear your plan
- sriram_malhar 4d agoIt isn't just AI. I would like a world without the poison of social media, without guns & bombs, without dangerous chemicals. Yes, in many many ways we'd be better off. We are accelerating the destruction of our planet. I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear.
- Razengan 4d ago> a world without the poison of social media No radio, no newspapers, no town criers, no gossip at the alewife's house? > I don't have a better plan for humanity. I only have fear. So your best move is to go around spreading that fear without offering ways to fix shit or inspiring anyone else to do so?
- sriram_malhar 4d agoC'mon, you know better than to invoke a slippery slope. My best move is to influence the people I care about to reduce dependence on these things and seek happiness in non-tech things (where tech is defined as those controlled by corporations), from community, live life from first principles. You are forcing me to answer a strange binary ... propose a fix for the world at large, or let me continue with all this shit. The world isn't as black and white. Anyway, I'm done with this thread.
- lowbloodsugar 4d agoI would like to recommend, to both of you, Sarah Wilson’s I Eat the Stars: How to Live Fully and Beautifully in a Collapsing World. I am heartened that both of you are still trying to find solutions. -https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/241715900 https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/241715900
