        Dear Sam, I've collated in this article why and how Steven Pinker is oversimplifying the matter here, based on Max @tegmark's insights but not only, could be useful when you 2 meet ! :) http://www.thomasjestin.com/blog/why-steven-pinker-is-wrong-when-he-s-sure-that-the-robot-uprising-is-a-myth …

        There’s a Starman waiting in the sky; He wants to come and meet us, but he’s driving a cherry-red Tesla Roadster into deep space right now...Off topic, I know. I’m just still so stoked about it.

        You're basically Atheist Deepak Chopra. Difference being, Deepak worked in the field of endocrinology before becoming a fake guru. You did not work in neuroscience after purchasing a degree with your trust fund money. Stop posting.

        You've seen his discussion with Deepak right? Couldn't be more polar opposite. What argument of his do you take issue with?

        What's so special about meat computers that silicon can never match them?

        And why would that be better than silicone alone? I'd like to believe it would, but I see no good reason tk do so.

        You all have to talk about this! As a great voice of steel man arguments, Steven fell short with many straw men on this topic in Enlightenment Now.

        As a test ask @sapinker "If you could allocate the world's charitable funding, how much would you spend on AI safety?" I feel the answer could still be, say, $5 million, and Pinker has just been pushing back against what he sees as over-weighted arguments

        @sapinker argues that of the possible scenarios, yours is but one. He is defending the stronger position. You are coming from the weaker position because you must prove that of all the things that can happen, it's almost certainly bad. I'm with Pinker.

        There're 2 risks of superhuman self-aware AI, and both are perfectly avoidable by sane decisionmakers: 1.) we fail to align the seed AI's initial ethical values with our own. 2.) we ace #1 but then proceed to weaponize, mistreat and enslave these children of our minds. #Caprica

        @sapinker is an irrational optimist and wedded to his optimistic theory. However on this he is right. General AI is nowhere near advanced enough to be any sort of threat, the real threat is humans with bad intentions and ideas using computers to do harm.
