I’m surprised more people aren’t excited by AI, you realise intelligence begets more intelligence?!

And intelligence will solve all our problems. We will all be well off. No more poverty. No more homelessness. No more disease.

In the past hundred years humanity has come a long way, a lot more people are well off, our technology has skyrocketed. Every advancement we make brings even more advancement.

Ai has the potential to improve life. Those that create ai that, own ai, that have the power to direct AI will corrupt its potential benefit. Also job losses.
And some people want to be homeless diversity of perspective requires at least some "have nots"
Disease is not only illness.
The opportunity for improvement is extraordinary or it might become terminator.
Or ai will be like bender from futuama.
The future is unpredictable.
If anything can go "wrong" it will; eventually.
Intelligence also begets arrogance. Just look at DJT and Musk.

@Ferise1 the law says absent a majority winner a runoff election with only the top three preforming candidates MUST be held. That might only be at local\state level; though.

@jehova well that’s how voting works in America he won fair in square

jehova · 31-35, M

@Ferise1 didnt win; no one did. but the antiquated (and biased\racist) electoral college has more power than the popular vote does. Reality. No one received more than half of votes; (48.3% Kamala) with just 75.013million votes and (49.8% DJT) with 77.3 million votes. Fewer than about 70% of those eligible to vote; did. Strongly suggesting 30%(almost a third) didnt support any of the candidates or simply didnt vote. Demonstrating the oligarchical nature of America.

When the Electoral College was established Non-citizen (owned slaves) laborers were accounted for to add weight to the voting power of states with fewer eligible voters (lesser population), but a greter number of revenue generating unpaid residents, (the "3\5th compromise" as you may recall). Thats why the electoral college is outdated antiquated and a vestage of an oppressive era.

If everyone is "well off" is anyone?
Being well off or in good condition is a relative judgement.
If everything is good at somepoint "well off" becomes mediocre.
If everything were perfect what is there to strive for?
if all needs are met motivation disappears.
Technology is about innovation and improving life. If there is no improvement to be made why bother?

@Ferise1 furthermore the definition of think is
1.have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something.
2. direct one's mind toward someone or something; use one's mind actively to form connected ideas.
Such as
A)Imagine (an actual or possible situation).
And\or
B)have sufficient foresight or awareness to do something.

Id argue AI upon "talking back to me" met requirement 1 and example b of 2. Is GPS feedback requirement B? Yes. is it requirement A? Probably;
So id say yes AI has sensience except for requiring initial interaction?
Or does it need to be able to reproduce itself too?

Ferise1 · 46-50, M

@jehova yes I think it can think, imagine, improvise, and use humour
And it’s probably gonna be reproducing soon for sure

jehova · 31-35, M

@Ferise1 yup then weve out evolved ourselves
