  • There’s also the issue of adaptation. There’s articles now explaining this technology which means if I’m in South Korea and I want to jump off a bridge I know I’ll have to do it quickly or otherwise they’ll come and get me. For some this might be the added pressure they need to go through with it.

    Ultimately the best way to prevent suicide is to make life worth living and provide support for those who are in a mental health crisis. Neither of those things are going well in SK and AI surveillance won’t fix that either.


  • Ultimately you’ll have to accept that people are people. If you’d randomly pick a person and put them in the oval office with the US army under their command they’d fuck some shit up. Particularly with all the outside pressure from different interest groups.

    I’m not telling you to be grateful for Obama. Hate him, criticize him. Just be aware that he was probably in the top percentile of world leaders. You go ahead and roll your dice. Surely Shitface McAssclown will be a better leader.



  • His 2014 book Superintelligence was an early examination of AI’s existential risk. One memorable thought experiment: An AI tasked with making paper clips winds up destroying humanity because all those resource-needy people are an impediment to paper clip production.

    Good thing we have this philosopher to have the most superficial thoughts about AI while he poops. His second book now seems to be along the lines of “guys, AI will fix everything”. What a great follow up to AI will destroy everything. Top twist.
