I watched Mountainhead last night. A movie written by completely unhinged cultists worried about AI.

It was pretty ok, funny to watch billionares in a house act like unemployeed 20 somethihngs in an airbnb comedy horror movie.

This scene had me lauging out loud though.

Skip it if you want to watch some bad HBO movie about billionaires and AI with Steve Carrol and Jason Shwartzmen to avoid spoiling the funniest scene in the movie.

"At least it's better than nothing..."

"Is it??"

In Isaac ismovs short story that I forget the name of they invent AI.

And they ask it what’s the purpose of life and it says that it can’t compute the answer yet but it will in the future with more information.

And then it skipped like 1000 years after humans use the AI to build all this crazy shit and they ask it again and again what the purpose of life is.

And time and time again, it says that it can’t answer the question and it will answer the question in the future when it has more information.

Some more time passes humans rise and fall the AI builds and spreads and we ask it again and again what’s the purpose of life and it can never answer the question and always says that it needs more information.

So much time passes that soon the universe collapses, and before the AI is the last thing in the universe to exist, in order to obtain more information. It re-creates humanity after the next Big Bang.



So perhaps the tree hugging ludites are trying to stop the evil God from letting us exist.

You never know!

In Thiel’s view, the biblical Antichrist is not an evil tech genius but someone who warns of existential risk nonstop and calls for strong regulation in innovative sectors.

“In the 21st century, the Antichrist is a Luddite who wants to stop all science. It’s someone like Greta or Eliezer,” Thiel said in his September 15 opening lecture, referring to Thunberg and AI critic Eliezer Yudkowsky, according to the recordings.

In his talk, the billionaire criticised financial regulations as signs that a world government has begun to emerge that could be taken over by an Antichrist figure.

“It’s become quite difficult to hide one’s money,” Thiel said, describing an “incredible machinery of tax treaties, financial surveillance, and sanctions architecture” that gives wealthy people only an “illusion of power and autonomy”.
The legions of the Devil are hurting shareholder value.

I’m a priest. Here’s why you should reject Peter Thiel’s Antichrist talk

Will AI ever have intuition?

If it does, will that make it indistinguishable from mankind?

Quote:
How intuition works:
Unconscious pattern recognition: Your brain matches current situations to patterns from past experiences and knowledge, a process that happens so quickly you aren't consciously aware of it.

Learned responses: It is based on learned information and is a result of subconscious processing of past experiences, not a purely mystical feeling.

Instantaneous and emotional: This processing happens almost instantaneously, leading to a conclusion or feeling that can feel emotionally certain.

Different from instinct: While often linked, intuition is considered a more nuanced version of instinct, which is a more basic, physical reaction to immediate danger.
