Joshua Swamidass - Philosophy of Transhumanism & Artificial Intelligence (AI)

[@fitloft1]

Hell...Im stressed worrying about poor Dr Swamidass expolding through that child sized chair and questionable table hes leaning on!!!

Transhumanism that does not conserve diversity is not an evolutionary change.

[@NicholasWilliams-uk9xu]

That's a good point!

Just a few comments about Christianity. I believe God is believed not to have a physical body, the substance of God is spirit and it is also believed human beings are not entirely physical or material, also an aspect of Christianity involves being concerned about morality. Should we create a conscious form of artificial intelligence even if we are capable of doing this? What are the consequences of technology for our fellow human beings? Jesus taught love your neighbour as you love yourself.

Probably the DEEPEST thing I heard in 2024: If a chimpanzee started communicating with us at the level of Chat GPT we would consider it to be conscious - if not human, close enough for us to give it rights.

One that needs electricity to function, and programming. It would not be a chimpanzee.

​@@jaysyd143All life without exception uses electricity to function according to it's programming. 🙏

10:31 bioligical mind is unable to compete with the pace of improvement provided by artificial systems which eventually / obviously have the capacity to improve at geometrical rate, almost instantaneously... the question is how will that intelligence be used... will it compete with other such systems or will it collaborate 🤔

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

is computer hardware a form of embodiment?

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

consciousness focus on and act towards future?

The one(God), ever is and without a second, without distinction, definition, delimitation, and remains ever simple, more subtler than the subtle, is one in no place but one everywhere and everywhere is one... for some reason, there is emanation, like a projector that projects an image upon the wall. The further outgoing of this projection, the more diverse, pluralized, defined, delimited, and circumscribed, does this become. This is modulation, thus definition from contrast in all delimitations. Liberation is retroduction(follows the logic of via negativa) and disobjectification of all phenomena. Transhumanism might be further modulation, i.e., antithesis to Philosophy(liberation) therefore bondage, or it might actually become part of man's liberation as if proccession goes full circle, from source and back to.

[@jamesruscheinski8602]

God has consciousness around body? maybe human also have consciousness around body after death?

I have already solved how to scale intelligence. The AI community relies on outdated Nvidia technology, where memory is separate from the compute. By integrating parallel computing with localized memory on the compute site and utilizing multiplicative memory (burn-in) of node acceleration patterns that converge with goal pattern detection acceleration, we can shape algorithm formation (automate intermediate reward measure pattern instantiation by the same set of principles for shaping weights of nodes, by measure of nodes outputs that accelerated with the goal pattern detection acceleration). Additionally, automated reward mechanisms instantiated via patterns that temporally accelerate with overarching goal pattern detection can significantly enhance AI performance. Then inverse appetite system that devalues reward mechanisms based on acquire resources. This is actually a very simple system to solve for, I learned it by observing and understanding animal behavior and thinking about how their neurons organize around goal pattern detections ("taste good, smell good"), and how their brain automate new reward mechanism instantiation. And yes, Nvidia tech is archaic, it's a huge bottleneck, lazy engineering. (It's all about feelings and drives multiplicatively burning in useful algos for achieving goal).

That is a senseless analogy about the chimp. ChatGPT just regurgitates what it has been trained on. You might as well expect a chimp to start doing math or playing music. A computer is a mechanism that doesn't know anything, so it is easy enough to realize that there is no one "in there" when it starts talking. A human or a chimp is a living organism, so it just doesn't work that way.

Once again, everyone needs to understand that satan has found it difficult to possess all souls because of the existence of Free Will, but would find it so easy to possess Robots with AI because it has no souls and, so, has no free will to resist... ..and with enough AI Robots being possessed including souls who allowed themselves to be possessed, satan's goal of the destruction to all existence would not be difficult....

[@MasoudJohnAzizi]

@@evaadam3635 What makes you certain that you have free will?

[@evaadam3635]

@MasoudJohnAzizi ..because the freedom to choose to believe in Spiritual GOD is not a natural property of physical matter enslaved by physicsl laws...

[@MasoudJohnAzizi]

@evaadam3635 ..If God is "the universal mind" underlying everything you observe in the manifest world, then any "will" may be viewed as the "will" of such a mind, no?
