Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris

[Excited Penguin]

(j/k)

As far as friendly AI and the singularity goes, I'd need a bunch of experts on AI to say it was worth worrying about before I started worrying about it. As in, something comparable to the consensus among climatologists in support of global warming. I don't think laypeople are capable of evaluating something like this.

Yes I agree. I can't fault Harris' conclusions following from his premises but maybe his premises are mistaken if the majority of AI researches do indeed think so.

Lol compatabilism isn't so bad

Dan Dennett is right about one thing: Compatabilists and incompatabilists disagree on tactics is all, really. Like Sam Harris is indeed a compatabilist by everything but name. And so am I.

No ham. It's the other way around. Mathilda, here, is in the minority among her own ilk AFAIK.
