That's a really convoluted way of saying what amounts to "you're dumb".
How about you present a counterargument - why would advanced AI be predominantly bad? Unless, of course, your only counterargument is the classic philosophical statement of "we can't know nuffin".
It is more than a little snarky, but a certain amount of snark is kind of the toll you pay for having PhDs in everything from high-energy physics to behavioral economics on an Internet thread.
Basically no one who sticks around on here is “dumb”, I don’t know you but I have a Bayesian prior that you’re probably pretty fucking smart, and GP was being a bit of a smartass, C’est la vie.
I completely agree with your game plan of “let’s get a more substantial conversation going here”. It’s the right move.
I think that we probably should, as a society, do a serious audit of the public school system curriculum to see if it still makes sense in light of the insane rate of change in the facts of life over the last century :)
Logical fallacies don't necessarily equal stupidity though sometimes they do.
A bunch of arguments about why AI would be bad have already been advanced. For the economic one, refer to Martin Ford. For the existential one, refer to Bostrom.
Either discuss this with me or don't. Don't summon your sacred scrolls to do the arguing for you.
> It is a logical fallacy
Instead of just parroting my stance in response, I'll try to elaborate some more. Please either follow my example or don't reply to me at all.
Logic itself cannot bring you knowledge about the world, as the concept of apriori knowledge is crackpipe bullshit. All knowledge is based on induction, even your knowledge that induction is fallible. Saying induction is a "logical fallacy" doesn't even make sense, since the purpose of induction is not to perform logical operations.
>Please either follow my example or don't reply to me at all.
I'll do whatever I want, especially when "communicating" (generous verb) with someone capable of writing the epitome of stupidity "the concept of apriori knowledge is crackpipe bullshit".
What a juvenile attitude. I wasn't giving you orders, I was presenting my standards of communication. You can do whatever the hell you want, but don't expect other people to tolerate your obnoxiousness.
You seem to get off on insulting people. I do not get off on being insulted, so I will refrain from further communication with you. Goodbye.
They should start teaching the problem of induction in schools, evidently it's needed.
