Are you also worried about AGI? do you too believe a super intelligence will destroy you along with rest of the humanity? Have you also considered the terminator movie series are basically likely except for the time traveling modern day Jesus?
Well, you can insure yourself agains singularity with this one easy technique.
Just. Be. Cute.
Let me explain.
The most successful animals in the modern urban human era are cats and dogs. These animals through natural and artificial selection have developed way to basically be cute, hijacking our brains to care for them like our children.
Evolution has made us biased to like big eyes, slightly high pitched voices and soft textures aka “cute things”. We were selected for this to like our children and care for them. But today, this bias is used everywhere, from anime characters, to pets, to soft toys to make us care for them.
Now, who is to say the AIs of the future (and present) we create won’t have any biases? Will they be biased towards the liberal wokism of the SF bay area? Will they be biased towards cute shit like us humans? Will they be biased towards something entirely different? Probably yes.
So even in a dooms day singularity scenario, we probably will be able to take advantage of some of those biases. Will we be able to understand those bias? or will they be too complex for us, and we only find out about them through trial and error? Remember, cats don’t know that we find them cute.
What will really happen? Only time will tell. But just because something more intelligent than us exists, may not mean the end of humanity.
