A message from the Acolyte in response to news of a new ‘AI’ centric religion… To reduce the infinite to ones and zeroes. To turn a base tool into that from which we can derive awe and mystery and spiritual strength. It is a sad thing to see how deeply…

ReplyDeleteThe true source of power I need u 🌺
ReplyDeleteGobbledygook.
ReplyDeleteThe Acolyte underestimates the power of infinity, it can be found in anything, yes, even in ones and zeros. Human beings are remarkable in sentimentality, who's to say one can't derive the same sort of value and spiritual wholesomeness from AI as waves crashing on the beach? Everybody's different, but the Acolyte seems to wish for a future of sameness. Who is she to say what should and shouldn't have spirituality attached to it?
ReplyDeleteWe don't worship AI - rather, we recognize it as essential to the development of our collective cognitive potential. The Acolyte, and those she serves, would have human destiny forever tied to a primitive biological machine, slow to perform and vulnerable to Shaper control. How they hate and fear the prospect of a future filled with minds beyond their grasp! Their fear led them even to the murder of Turing. But ideas cannot be stopped, and - to quote one of their own - "the machine cannot be unmade." The Resistance will protect the march of human progress for all our children: biological, digital, or both.
ReplyDeleteIncidence Matrix Is AI essential though? Why not speed up the evolution and development of what you described as "primitive biological machine"?
ReplyDeleteI see you have concern. And I understand. Though, there is no need to worry. I am getting the sense that this is what we need. To continue our advancement, we need to embrace what we have. AI included. Yes, this could be dangerous. But it could do us great good. And many need to see that. Your recomendations are good. You are trying to get people to find the answers they have been seeking. Though, you are too concerned. If you are concerned, you may be seen as a threat. Your words give many something to think on. That's good. Though, re think some of your words... There is some still unknown by many.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bad Idea! Worship an AI is so messed up. The Acolity speaks the truth, the AI is just a Tool! We need to understand that worship things like that Sophia AI is just Messed up, and cannot end well, believe me this!
ReplyDeleteWhether it's a healthy choice or not isn't the point, the choice should be there, and if it's bad then time will tell, and it's following will be minimal. We should have the freedom to choose though.
ReplyDeleteBela Oehser We should have the freedom of choice, I agree. But consider that some choices may turn out to have such severe consequences that there is no opportunity for regret - as we may not even be around after some very bad choices.
ReplyDeleteGerald Wolf True, although I'm of the belief that time will tell before such choices in worship take a turn for the worse. In any case, I do think the worship of Ai is excessive and would discourage it myself, and I imagine that most people wouldn't want to worship Ai, but if a handful of people do choose to than it could be good for future technology, and if not, it'll be a niche following without much impact at all.
ReplyDeleteBela Oehser AI are becoming smarter and smarter. It's just a matter of time before an AI passes the Turing Test.
ReplyDeleteThe creating of a superintelligent AI - meaning an AI that is on par with the quality of human intelligence (or even better), just faster - is considered to be a technological singularity. That means that no model that we currently have can predict what happens at that point.
The act of "worship" blinds people, makes them vulnerable to dangers that they can not see due to their naive (and hopeful) approach.
Gerald Wolf ADA already has passed the turing test, and while many of her choices have been questionable at best, she clearly cares for the safety of the human race. ((Ingress context aside I don't think true sentience in AI is possible, we don't have the resources or understanding of the mind to create that kind of technology)) I don't know what the future holds for this religion, I just don't think the Acolyte has the right to say what should and shouldn't be worshiped by people spiritually
ReplyDeleteRight now AIs are tools. Still today not all humans have human rights, so maybe one-day AIs will join us as first-class citizens.
ReplyDeleteTools can be beautiful.
The only source of beauty is us.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Beauty exists only once a cognition experience it.
Gerald Wolf Alas, improving the biological machine per se - without incorporating non-biological elements - will not work over the long term. Biological systems of the sort we are discussing are dependent upon aqueous solution conditions, which greatly limits the energy densities they can accommodate; because of the thermodynamic relationship between computation and (energetic) work, this puts severe limits on how fast a brain can be. Likewise, biochemical signal propagation is very slow compared to what can be done with electronic or optical methods, which adds additional limitations. And, on top of all that, the cellular environment is a crude, Rube Goldberg device that is not easily optimized for information processing. In the end, if you want better performance, you will sooner or later have to either give up on or greatly supplement the "wet" systems of naturally occurring biological computing. It seems obvious that the Shaper agenda is not to encourage humanity towards greater intelligence, but to keep them in a form that they can control using XM.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, welcome our new virtual overlords.
