thanks for the contrast and history to this issue. To transcend suffering or to work around it… I might take a look at that, to see if they had a fruitful conversation about it.
Hm, it is of course possible to argue that relinquishing the control could somehow benefit the greater whole—but how would you strike a balance between the positivity in transhumanism, and the gloom in the ai doomers.
The optimism about A.I. capabilities might not be overestimated, but why the focus to create a Beyond-human technological “solution” to a Human problem. Can’t we just deal with our own shit, and if we eventually have found out what to do—then look at these issues? It seems like an extreme option, similar to nuclear weapons, just possibly much worse, to dabble in this in the current societal and human climate -… maybe that is a view that blackpilled ai doomers have?
There seems to be quite the gap between these two stances, and I wonder what the essence is all about. Do you know?
