I’m officially done with takes on AI beginning “Ethical concerns aside…”.

No! Stop right there.

Ethical concerns front and center. First thing. Let’s get this out of the way and then see if thre is anything left worth talking about.

Ethics is the formalisation of how we are treating one another as human beings and how we relate to the world around us.

It is *impossible* to put ethics aside.

What you mean is “I don’t want to apologise for my greed and selfishness.”

Say that first.

@janl You're coming at this from an angle that presupposes ethics are a necessary component, they're coming at it from an angle that presupposes ethics are an unnecessary burden to be abstracted away and carried by others.

@nini no that’s exactly my point.

@janl Oh, I got it, just that mine and your positions stand against theirs and they'll never want to see it as we do.

@janl @nini Some people will invariably remove the burden from their own actions. If there's an argument that also shows those people why AI is not the right choice, then that's a win for all of us.
