#Strong AI

The first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how to keep it under control.

— Irving John Good, 'Concerning the First Ultraintelligent Machine' (Advances in Computers, 1965)

yeah that's why while i find the differenciation between weak and hard AI really cool, i don't think it really matters.

because how do you know which of them is which ? it can tell you that it's sentient, but is it ?

you think your friends think the way you do, but how can you be sure ?

and in the end, what is sentience ? are you sentient ? if yes, how do you know you're not the only one ?

and in the end, does it matter ? my answer to this is no.

and it's precisely because you can never know, for you still see people as people, right ? not because they are, but because you brain thinks they are. so in the end, what matters isn't any objective reality, but the subjective one you're living in right now.

for better or worse, people (artificial or not) matter as much as you let them. so why live all alone ?

anyways, you can also apply that logic on the concept of "real" life.

Transhumanism: The Future of Human Enhancement

After 146 days, the Writer's Strike has ended with a resounding success. Throughout constant attempts by the studios to threaten, gaslight, and otherwise divide the WGA, union members stood strong and kept fast in their demands. The result is a historic win guaranteeing not only pay increases and residual guarantees, but some of the first serious restrictions on the use of AI in a major industry.

This win is going to have a ripple effect not only throughout Hollywood but in all industries threatened by AI and wage reduction. Studio executives tried to insist that job replacement through AI is inevitable and wage increases for staff members is not financially viable. By refusing to give in for almost five long months, the writer's showed all of the US and frankly the world that that isn't true.

Organizing works. Unions work. Collective bargaining how we bring about a better future for ourselves and the next generation, and the WGA proved that today. Congratulations, Writer's Guild of America. #WGAstrong!!!

Please share this widely for game performers, current and future, and make sure to support the union!

Thoughts from David Slack on 'AI' and copyright

(the voice theft in particular is really depressing)

[mostlysignssomeportents]

The real reason the studios are excited about AI is the same as every stock analyst and CEO who’s considering buying an AI enterprise license: they want to fire workers and reallocate their salaries to their shareholders

The studios fought like hell for the right to fire their writers and replace them with chatbots, but that doesn’t mean that the chatbots could do the writers’ jobs.

Think of the bosses who fired their human switchboard operators and replaced them with automated systems that didn’t solve callers’ problems, but rather, merely satisficed them: rather than satisfying callers, they merely suffice.

Studio bosses didn’t think that AI scriptwriters would produce the next Citizen Kane. Instead, they were betting that once an AI could produce a screenplay that wasn’t completely unwatchable, the financial markets would put pressure on every studio to switch to a slurry of satisficing crap, and that we, the obedient “consumers,” would shrug and accept it.

Despite their mustache-twirling and patrician chiding, the real reason the studios are excited about AI is the same as every stock analyst and CEO who’s considering buying an AI enterprise license: they want to fire workers and reallocate their salaries to their shareholders.
