Remember the 22 word statement about #AI and human extinction & such? Its originator, the founder of, wait for it, the center for AI "Safety" says
"Natural selection disfavors individuals who stop caring about acquiring more resources and expanding their influence. The individuals who always want more are selected for."
Yea what we need to do is "build bridges" and "talk it out" with these people 🙄 next day after the "statements" he joins Elmo's grift, XAI or whatever bullshit its called.
@timnitGebru there are people out there who are like "omg AI will decide humans are irrelevant just like in sci-fi movies and we'll be doomed!”
no you idiots, HUMANS will decide SOME OTHER HUMANS WHO AREN'T THEM are irrelevant and we'll be doomed (just like keeps happening over and over in history unfortunately)
well said. And as typical for mansplainers, his statement is laughably wrong anyway.
Any sane person can see the planet is being quite clear about the viability of domination based "leadership." I mean in a few generations, far less than even a small blip in geological time, these dudebros with their incredibly stunted mindsets have put the species and many others on the fast track to extinction.
@NikaShilobod proper alt-text (made on mobile), you can copy and paste it into your picture's caption:
Capitalists: Capitalism is the best system because it works by the laws of nature. Darwin! Natural selection! Only the strong survive!
Kropotkin: Actually, Darwin pointed out that in numberless animal societies, the struggle between separate individuals for the means of existence disappears, that struggle is replaced by co-operation
@NikaShilobod and how that substitution results in the development of intellectual and moral faculties which secure to the species the best conditions for survival.
Capitalists: No
Darwin: Yes
@timnitGebru "For with those animals which were benefited by living in close association, the individuals which took the greatest pleasure in society would best escape various dangers; while those that cared least for their comrades and lived solitary would perish in greater numbers."
---Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man (1871), chapter 3
@timnitGebru It's not often I can say this, but I literally wrote a PhD thesis on That Guy Is a Fucking Shitwit-ology.
In a complex system, the individual components are neither so tightly coupled or correlated that they can all be treated as a single unit, nor so uncorrelated that they can be approximated as independent entities. Instead, patterns of interdependency lead to structure at multiple scales of organization. Evolution excels at producing such complex structures. In turn, the existence of these complex interrelationships within a biological system affects the evolutionary dynamics of that system. I present a mathematical formalism for multiscale structure, grounded in information theory, which makes these intuitions quantitative, and I show how dynamics defined in terms of population genetics or evolutionary game theory can lead to multiscale organization. For complex systems, "more is different," and I address this from several perspectives. Spatial host--consumer models demonstrate the importance of the structures which can arise due to dynamical pattern formation. Evolutionary game theory reveals the novel effects which can result from multiplayer games, nonlinear payoffs and ecological stochasticity. Replicator dynamics in an environment with mesoscale structure relates to generalized conditionalization rules in probability theory. The idea of natural selection "acting at multiple levels" has been mathematized in a variety of ways, not all of which are equivalent. We will face down the confusion, using the experience developed over the course of this thesis to clarify the situation.
Isn't that just a fancy way of saying "greed is good?" Just gross.
@timnitGebru You know one good way of reducing societal conflict and increasing abundance at the same time?!
Taxing bitcoin grifters.
@timnitGebru "Abundance becomes scarcity reliably. Natural selection disfavors individuals who stop caring about acquiring more resources and expanding their influence. The individuals who always want more are selected for. That's why many individuals will still conflict over resources."
"Sir, this is a Wendy's."
Besides a total misuse of "natural selection"...... that fuckwad.
@timnitGebru id tweet this at him but im banned from twitter because i posted a Inglorious Basterds gif in reply to a nazi:
The lesson of all human history is this: share your shit, or die alone, hungry, and cold.
natural selection is considerably more picky, survivors may need to shift modes periodically.
believers in magical humanity are the most dangerous.
It is amazing how fast some people can completely lose touch with reality.
They never heard of Upton Sinclair.
This is what TruthGPT really is about: normalizing and organizing old-fashioned White Supremacy, Jim Crow segregation, and Social Darwinism based on White Christian Nationalism.
This is no slip up on MusKKKrat's part; this is and was his plan from the very beginning.
i stopped reading at:
""Natural selection disfavors individuals"
this is EUGENICS. this is FASCISM trying pass as objective & neutral science.
there is no reason to engage this ghoul beyond that first paragraph.
in a capitalist oligarchy ran by kleptocrats, there is no such thing as "natural selection". what we do have is what i read Robert Jay Clifton once describe as bureaucratic murder.
these ghouls are using the excuse of AI to cover their crimes of genocide
@timnitGebru “Natural selection” and “survival of the fittest” have become the rallying cry of the sociopath
It is also plain bullshit what he says. Evolution works as well at group and species level as individual, I can’t even be bothered to list sharing behaviours in animals (including human)
