@SamHarrisOrg Agreed. Have you read Bostrom's Superintelligence yet? Both shattered my optimism on a AI takeoff that doesn't end badly.

@capriottisjason Yes. Excellent (and scary). -
@SamHarrisOrg@capriottisjason And the movie Ex Machina put to bed my hopes of a manageable AI sex doll. Too bad, really.

@SamHarrisOrg what would you recommend as a first read on the subject, this or Superintelligence? -
@LeoMckay This is more accessible and journalistic, but Bostrom's book is deeper. Both are good. -
@SamHarrisOrg@LeoMckay Not sure if Sam cares to comment but Superintelligence is a really tough read. Language unnecessarily academic.

@SamHarrisOrg artificial consciousness is an oxymoron: http://www.bernardokastrup.com/2015/04/cognitive-short-circuit-of-artificial-consciousness.html … -
@BernardoKastrup@SamHarrisOrg this could have been summed up: the expression of consciousness does not prove its attendance. -
@CuriousTrees@SamHarrisOrg It isn't even the expression; it's the _imitation_ of consciousness. And yes, it doesn't prove its attendance.
