AI... A new dawn, or the demise of humanity ?
-
Having recently experienced the loss of a family member, this literally sent a shiver up and down my spine.
To me, it’s morally wrong on every level to even consider this, but I’m open to debate.
Eternal You tells the story of a human experiment: what does it do to people to resurrect their deceased loved ones in order to talk to them? Who takes responsibility for the psychological and ethical consequences? And do we even want all this?
@phenomlab In regard to the Eternal You, there is a movie that was made about this. First it starts off with phone messaging, then phone calls and then she orders a robot human that looks like her husband. They have the AI use all of the social media posts and give it extra information and it learns from what she says. I think ultimately it was a horror movie but you it is crazy that they are actually doing that. People need to grieve and move on. Not forget of course, but move on and grow.

Seems very odd to sue a company you co founded…
@phenomlab Is it me or do these big corporate lawsuits just mainly mean that someone wants something from another company or to use the lawsuit as leverage to get what they want, whether it be money or what have you. Do you think he really cares about whether or not a monopoly is being done, or just tying up their resources while he has something in the background that he is planning.
It seems like these corporate lawsuits always have another motives behind them. I don’t have any examples of course, but just curious what others thought in that regard.

@Madchatthew Yes, exactly. I don’t think this is healthy at all. Part of life is death, and having recently been through that process myself, I know how hard it is to come to terms with, but it’s an essential part of the healing process. As you say, you never forget, but you have to move forward as you can’t go backwards.

@Madchatthew Great points. I agree - I think this is just an opportunity to derail any progress they are making to pave the way for his own competitive product.

Yeah that is what I was thinking as well. It is too bad they have to tie up the courts and resources with all that stuff, when you know there is someone sitting in jail that needs to have their trial but the judge is busy having to take time to play babysitter with that kind of stuff. Maybe there are different judges that handle those cases, but still.

@phenomlab oh wow!
That is shocking!!

This was inevitable and comes as no surprise at all.

US weapons scanning company Evolv Technology will be banned from making unsupported claims about its products in a proposed settlement with the US government.
The company had claimed its AI scanner, used in the entrances of thousands of US schools, hospitals and stadiums, could detect all weapons.

MP’s considering use of AI to make their jobs more efficient? They do next to nothing for their constituents already, so how is this even an improvement?

@phenomlab 100% agree!!

It is too bad in this world how AI is being used for so many bad things and how it is being used to take advantage of people. There are so many good things that AI can be used for, whether it is an individual or a society and such. It is too bad that people want to do bad things. I think that the good people that want to do good things out weigh the bad people, but maybe because bad news gets better ratings that is what you hear more about?

@Madchatthew Yes, I think you might be right - particularly for the “nay sayers” - those who want to discredit AI completely without even considering the huge benefits on offer.

@phenomlab and you can also install AI on your own personal computer/server and have it so it can only access things that you want it to access. So you have your own personal AI that is private. You can give it access to all of the things you have written, code or whatever have you and it can be very powerful with helping you do and complete things. And then you don’t even have to worry about other people getting access to your AI data or your data being shared with others.

@Madchatthew Good points. Mind you, without input from other sources, this version of AI would have limited efficiency and would need to rely on one information source.

@phenomlab yes that is true. It would only be able to help with whatever information you give it. I’m wondering if it can be connected to the outside world or if you can give it a web address and tell it to learn everything on that site and then go from there? Although a lot of the libraries that you can download they have already done that.
I might have to see about finding a link tomorrow that shows how they install it along with the library you want to use.
