My apologies for not being clear in my Quick Take, Chris. As Zach pointed out in his reply, I posed two issues.
The first being an obvious parallel for me between EA and Judeo-Christian religions. You may or may not agree with me, which is fine. I’m not looking to convince anyone of my point-of-view. I was merely interested in seeing if others here had a similar POV.
The second issue I raised was what I saw as a failure in the reasoning chain where you go from Deep Learning to Consciousness to an AI Armageddon. Why was that leap in faith so compelling to people?
I don’t see either of those questions as not being in the interest of the “public good”, but perhaps you just said that because my first attempt wasn’t clear. Hopefully, I’ve remedied that with this answer.
Oh, they’re definitely valid questions. The problem is that the second question is rather vague. You need to either state what a good answer would look like or why existing answers aren’t satisifying.
