RE: Mind Manipulation - Transhumanism and Freedom Of Thought
Thanks for this excellent post. AI has been on my mind (no pun intended) since i watched Blade Runner 2049 last week (and wrote a review of it here). That movie plus all of the previews were about AI, androids, and cyborgs. Watching them was scary, because of the speed they're going to get here. Like you said, technology is created and thrown at society with no time to talk about it, what it could be used for. What would a cave man think of humans if he walked through a portal into New York city today, and saw everyone starting at their hands? Madness, I'd guess. And the people building it-are Elon Musk, Zuckerberg & Jeff Bezos such good guys?
I've watched Blade Runner 2049 recently too, really gets you thinking, what is it that makes us human? Could that be replicated in a machine? We are evolving conjointly with our technology, however it must be on our terms, there are several trajectories that would lead us ever deeper into slavery. Musk at least is keeping his AI open and while anybody will have access to the technology, it can be used for great good or great evil. All I hope is to raise awareness to the possibilities and the dangers. I'd recommend watching the video of him above, he is aware of the dangers of those that control the AI so he chose to make his available to all so the power of it can be distributed rather than kept in the hands of a few.
