This somehow explains a lot about what's going on these days.

Have we really "evolved"?

(1929 human evolution diagram predicted by William King Gregory, an American zoologist known as a primatologist, paleontologist, and comparative anatomist.)

I made a rather long post over on Co-Host. I'll post a picture and link to it so if you want to respond here, you can.

My armchair musings on #AI.

I think that in a theoretical world where we had infinite energy and resources, a likely scenario would be extreme #inequality. The #LizardBrain parts of our minds that we were all cursed with at birth needs us to have resources superior to our peers, not superior to our past.

So, I’m not worried about AI being evil, but about a few dozen people inheriting the immense wealth it creates. We already live in a society with capacity to resemble something post-scarcity, but we choose not to go that route because of that bug we haven't evolved out of yet. Instead, we create artificial #scarcity because we're programmed to deal with scarcity.

AI can help create a better society, or it can help concentrate power in their hands only. It depends on what question they ask it, and I fear they'll choose the latter.

Let's hope the #BetterAngels win out.
