I wouldn't exactly call Fidel a very cool guy either
@LR if it means anything I think suicide should be legal too, just make arrangements instead of stinking up your apartment complex.
We can declare things as human rights, but those "rights" remain scarce.
good way to lower crime rates is increasing standard of living, I can agree with that. But I think a free market is the best way to boost SoL. As we produce more at lower cost, wealth increases
Roblox is truly the great equalizer
I like to think that humanity is a happy accident
Maybe showing them some Bob Ross will do the trick
You do have to remember that an AI might not have the same motive as humanity. it doesnt have the same needs. Time preference could be completely foreign. just thinking aloud
the idea of humanity making itself obsolete has been perplexing. But advances in genetics has hinted to use improving as a species as well. dont see that preventing the Control problem though.
I'm not usually one to argue to fight inevitable innovation, but one to offer steps going forward, but this problem is currently above me. you've given me a lot to think about though.
I doubt it will, we've made some big steps towards full A.I. Those drops are probably due to low-IQ individuals not dying and being able to reproduce. Product of an increasing standard of living
innovation brings good and evil. it probably isnt in the interests of many to blow up the world, but the AI problem requires more thought than I've given it.
but I'm no expert in the field or on that problem
The Control problem is extremely interesting and it worries me too. The key probably lies in motivation.
previously, tech innovation has lead to increased production and therefore wealth for all, expanding industries with more jobs in the long run. however, the AI beast deserves much more attention
capitalism is very good at distributing resources, and as we move to cheaper and cleaner energy, I think we will see that it isnt the bane of the world. Intervention seems to slow that progress.
this topic would be a lot less fun without LR, but I'd love a socialist capable of better debate/discussion here.
yes, but that was mostly in response to @yoonski with the other side comment
the difference is LR mostly uses that rhetoric without anything else. his posts are mostly insubstantial. most of the contribution comes in responses to him
he is a decent conversation starter I'll give him that
you've seen the guy's posts right? it's mostly "capitalists hate poor people and are destroying the world dont talk me out of it you are lying capitalists:
I'm not here for moderation either.
my response was more of a joke.
I find the guy amusing, but I wouldn't credit him with being a fantastic contributor. He doesn't make real arguments most of the time and strawman.
