It’s like 3d rendering; You can move a vertex cheaply, sure. You then also have to re-render a couple of frames of the video.

I see female sexrobots as a symptom, a manifestation of the male gaze. I've heard personal histories of being courted and finding the guy was out for sexual gratification and didn't much care for her life-perspective. A justified

How convenient for the data collecting companies that so generously sponsor the new & free services, that our democratically controlled communication infrastructure looses in value.

I agree with you in that the stories of religion are pretty dangerous in their 'dogmatic' potential. I think another big value of religion is the community that comes with it. Its really easy to get along with people who tell the

A human teacher can see the problem from the students perspective and understand the error they make and why they make it. No current ai would be able to achieve this. But alas, few human teachers can or will take the time to do this per st

Thats an interesting point about the age of manipulative sales strategies! I didn't consider it. And I agree with your position that emotions change over a rather long timescale. In fact that's exactly why I'm concerned about

I agree that a good salesperson manipulates people too. Instead of trying to compare how much manipulation is done by salespeople vs in ads, I think it's worthwhile to consider how the manipulation is performed. Both ad and salesperson

A popular position perhaps, which is why you can still go gambling while 'weak-minded' children cannot. Personally, I hope we come to protect the vulnerable regardless of their age.

I agree with you that a pos/neg divide is clearer and more straight forward to construct. Reading your comment also evoked in me imaginations of political repression. Anger and fear are really important emotions signifying "this

I think, in order to have the desired effect, the deterrant must be in proportion to the resources of the transgressor as a whole entity. If its not, Apple can afford to behave anticompetitively with their appstore, hold on to an illegal po

I both agree and disagree, in that; - the amount of spam on Mastodon will surely increase in amount proportional to the size of it's network. And - Mastodon users won't usually see that new spam by the dynamics of the current syst

At worst the assesment will be dysfunctional often and at best this can empower local governance (ideally, "the people") to decide, as you say, on what businesses they'd like to host.

I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment and your behavior. I'm grateful for everyone of us out there working with strong moral boundaries. Thank you! I also disagree with your perspective on corporations. To me they seem very much a

I'm curious, do you have a counterpart to "capital" and "property" in your analogy? I think capitalism facilitates specialization - and that quite effectively at scale. Specialization can occur without capitalism, t

You might enjoy Crystal Society. It's written from the perspective of an AI with an internal dialogue orchestrated by a few distinct modules. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28678856-crystal-society

I believe Dune covers this possibility as well. You might reframe this as an adversarial attack. So far these are constructed against specific classifiers. I wonder just how much common taste there is left to mine. There are a lot of low wa

Good argument and I'm sure it's going to be like that in some regards. I think, though, that human intellect is a tool too and we're building a better one right now. So in your analogy we are the screwdriver and we're bu

I like to study this force as well and I agree with your claim. A degree of centralization appears to be quite useful in the real world. Recently I've been thinking about modelling an economic system after biological ones. It seems the
