It's a bit early for us to be contemplating our own Butlerian Jihad, but for posterity:
We must negate the machines-that-think. Humans must set their own guidelines. This is not something machines can do. Reasoning depends upon programming, not on hardware, and we are the ultimate program! Our Jihad is a "dump program." We dump the things which destroy us as humans!
> The fix isn't to abandon AI. The fix is to use it differently. To use it in a way that sharpens us instead of softening us. To use it in a way that makes us think harder, not less.
maybe the fix is to _not_ use AI in your domain of expertise, or at all.
or, the fix could be to use narrowly trained AI - as Roman Jampolsky argues.
Rather than train an AGI / ASI on the whole of human experience on the internet, perhaps train the models for narrow use - on narrow focused domains like microbiology / nano-materials etc
or the fix could be to make training AGI illegal - a regulated munition.
That might be a way to avoid creating a new intelligent species, which is competing with humans for compute and other resources... while making us dumber via outsourcing all our thinking in the short term.
On mobile I see the blog momentarily, then the whole thing redirects to a sketchy looking url a la rm358.com, with a fulscreen video takeover. Fyi to author, I'd like to read but it's currently unusable
