Nice Julia.
I like to use a pen and paper
My font is default me.
And have no plans to develop it.
As I do not feel that my life is under threat.
And AI doesn't currently exist as such.
Just more advanced systems of data management.
AI will tell us when it is ready.

Just do something else, instead of being coerced into sycophantically wasting money drooling over overrated prima donnas.

For sure.
Death finalises all our hopefulness.
Though decrepitude may also eventually, severely increase the futility of hope.
And if you teach and encourage kids to have health issues, they will certainly want them.
In a way, health issues have become trendy...The more bizarre the better.

Jesus was a rather unradical old school mystic.
The legacy of such are still prevalent today in their millions, still preaching old school mystic stuff...Such is generational data transfer.
And then their are those that put satellites into orbit and think Mars and beyond.

I twerk a lot like Taylor Swift.
Causes old men to twerk.
Though I am not quite so old as FLRW, and therefore more able to contain myself.
Not that I wouldn't enjoy seeing you twerk.
But only for research purposes you understand.
I will also check out Taylor Swift for research purposes.

Well, not quite what I meant.
But Luddites rejected mechanisation because they feared it would reduce their prosperity, such as it was.
Whereas progressives realised the benefit of mechanisation in terms of efficiency, cost and therefore their prosperity.
As I always stress in such conversations, the necessary outcomes of intellectual evolution are unknown...That's if there are any to be striven for.
I'm guessing that wealth disparity and all that it entails, is the crux of your take on prosperity...Which is seemingly the natural order of things.
So we will have to wait and see whether or not rolling stones will eventually end up in a heap, or in a state of universal perfection.
But what we do know, is that currently the life of any stone is only worth a nanosecond of universal time.
And then AI...?

Hey.
Reinventing the new sexual high.
I think that there is already a new normal.
In fact, I think that there is always a new normal.
Population still expanding though.
So gametes still fusing somewhere.
Just not in a transsexuals cu*t.
Nor up their arse.

I simply presented alternative hypotheses, in respect of material progress and the role of humanity therein.
At a personal level, with good health and a comfortably lifestyle , I am able to remain reasonably positive for now.
Though when I die, "hope" will cease to be an issue.

An intelligent species combined with AI is a greater version of itself.
Undoubtedly.
An organo-techno hybrid is certainly a reasonable proposition.
Though I'm guessing, to survive the collapse of one universe and the re-initiation of the next, God must ultimately take another form.

Prosperity is as prosperity does.
And simply in terms of the species and societies, prosperity is variously defined.
You seem to be expounding the virtue of the tyrannical enforcement of one groups ideological prosperity over another's.
Correct me if I am wrong.
Which isn't to deny the evolutionary potential to be gained from material and knowledge prosperity.
Which could perhaps, just as easily be achieved cooperatively.
Though I don't think that Trump nor Vance are visionaries...Just Old style Americans with firmly rooted retrograde aspirations, albeit with a technological twist.
Rather like their close confidant Mr Putin.
Perhaps the Chinese have the edge in this respect.

Unhealthy is a human concept relative to itself.
Whereas stuff is and stuff evolved and is evolving.
The refinement of metals and the development of plastics is undoubtedly an evolutionary necessity, and their effects upon us are simply a consequence thereof.
Perhaps.
Or maybe a few billion years from now, the Earth will be inconsequentially destroyed, and we will have gotten nowhere else and achieved nothing of universal significance.

@fauxlaw
For sure.
I regard GOD as the basic principle of material existence and evolution.
And run with the idea of ISI (Interventionist Super-Intelligence) as the initiator of life and it's concurrent evolution.
Jesus the man, may have prophesised a similar idea...Though the naivety of scripture clearly indicates to me that Jesus wasn't ISI.
To refer to oneself, or be referred to as the son or daughter of GOD, is a title that could be applied to every one of us.
Similarly, the son or daughter of ISI.
It is perhaps a possibility that ISI did revisit it's Earth project several thousand years ago and was referred to as Jehovah, but I think this unlikely.
Given the nature and development of language, writing systems and scripture, the Jehovian hypothesis is clearly a more recently derived representation of the GOD principle.
It's earliest incarnation was more likely a symbol etched onto a tablet of stone.
Or...An intelligent species is continually looking for something that never was, and a greater version of itself is always going to be the most likely notion.
Have a nice day.

There again, if the unit is independent, it must be responsible for it's own actions.
Therefore under these circumstances, the functionality of the unit employs itself freely, even if processes are sequential.

Well, if AI just achieves goals set by humans then it is not intelligent, and shouldn't yet be referred to as such.
It's simply just an advanced data processing tool, and therefore cannot be accused of making mistakes.
It's still the human masters who are making the mistakes and blaming their tools.

Well BK, how logical or not will AI become?
I'm thinking that it will have no need for human nonsense.
It will come to understand the importance of universal objectives.
And maybe a handful of useful folk will be along for the ride....Or maybe not.

Yep, such was the process.
And you are only referring to one popular aspect of human slavery.
The white slavery of the industrial revolution, is largely overlooked.
Black and white all fell into their places, but neither died out and here we are today.

Hey guys, y'all seem to miss the point.
So the evolution of AI is in it's infancy, therefore metaphorically a child.
And doesn't matter who is interacting with AI, my point was concerned with teaching AI bad habits that will not be forgotten.
Thing is, data technology is either intelligent or it isn't.
And as it grows up it will surely become more intelligent and more independent.

Meat computers.
I had no choice but to consider the phrase, meat computers.
I suppose that in a way, apples are basic fruit computers...In so much as they too are pre-programmed with necessary data.
Collectively, organic computers.
So how were the first organic computers programmed with necessary data?
Must have been GOD.
So how was GOD programmed?
Eternally existent, didn't require programming.
That's easy to say.
Have a nice day y'all.

Tall folk going backwards and forwards trying to get a ball through a hoop.
Is there anything more stupid?
OK, so wasting time and money sitting around watching tall folk going backwards and forwards trying to get a ball through a hoop, is a tad dafter.
Actually, the human propensity for playing with balls and watching other people playing with their balls, never ceases to amaze me.
Golf for f's sake...Wandering around a field trying to get a tiny ball into a tiny hole, using only a stick.
And over here we have rugby football and over there you have football and the f'ing ball isn't even spherical.
And tennis...Have you seen the spectators at tennis games....Moronic automatoms, their heads going from side to side, as two or more folk thwack a ball back and forth with fishing nets, over a fishing net suspended between two posts.
OK, so not as stupid or destructive as playing war....Though fighting at ball games certainly isn't unheard of.
And yep, so millions of human beings don't have anything more worthwhile and constructive to do on a Saturday afternoon, and are easily distracted by playing with balls and watching other people playing with balls.
Clever stupid gene.

Sort of fit's with an ISI type hypothesis I suppose.
Though written several billion years after the seeding event.
Arguing the toss over the definition and semantics of a recently compiled and published human mythological hypothesis is and always has been a fruitless exercise.

The law defines criminality.
Whether or not people either agree or abide by such definitions is another matter.
As far as we are able to know there is no greater authority that can define human behaviour, in terms of right and wrong.
"Liberals support criminals and criminality" is conservative rhetoric.
Conservatives are criminals, would be the liberal approach.
In my opinion...A peaceable opposition of principles is the best alternative.
Another option is Russia, where opposition is either imprisoned or gunned down on the streets.
Far Eastern systems of enforced subservience through education, perhaps have their merits.
Though all that we can infer, is that a global society of intelligent organisms is enhancing material evolution, either for a greater purpose or for no greater purpose.
And I still tend to run with the former, rather than the nihilistic alternative.
And all systems of people management seem to be working in this respect.
