Alright, who’s been keeping up with their self correcting mechanisms recently? Also, if I got chat gpt to write this review and play chess at the same time, would you be able to tell? Maybe we should slow down and think before we make a robo-bible

His argument is AI should be thought of as an information network, the next step in an evolution of networks that date back to the beginning of civilization.

Who has agency over this information network? What happens when an information network can make new information without human input.

A really interesting perspective: we aren’t likely to make an AI that completely mimics human thought and behavior. Both because humans can be surpassed and because we may go in a completely different direction, asking AI to do specific non human things
