Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris
RE: Can we build AI without losing control over it? | Sam Harris
He actually did use the notion of an alien invasion, or at least contact.  It;s become obvious that Harris' critics, at least in this thread, don;t think they need to acually watch the mans clips to confidently proclaim how wrong he is about everything that;s in them, lol.

If i went back through this thread, all 20 pages of objections, and itemized them, it would be a clinic in shitty reason. I don't think we've missed a single fallacy, formal or informal. OFC Harris presented a sci fi horror scenario......it was his entire point that this particulkar sci fi horror scenario doesn't produce what he considers to be an appropriate response in people, himself included. When we think about future ai, we don't dread the potential consequence, it's too damned cool. That was his entire fucking point. H expressed the notion that we needed, in his words, a manhattan project for ai. I can't, for the life of me, figure out why any single thing he said, or he entire clip as a whole, is objectionable. All I've heard is that he's wrong about things he didn't say.

.........?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
