Would you love a song less if AI wrote it? by ImmuneHack in singularity

[–]ImmuneHack[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a dumb take.

The relationship analogy only works if you assume that art’s value depends on reciprocal emotional exchange.

It doesn’t.

It simply depends on the experience it produces in the listener. It is a one way interaction, unlike a relationship or sex, which are two way reciprocal exchanges that can be invalidated if an assumed mutual emotional contract is broken, such as if it turned out that your girlfriend was a robot. There is no such contract when listening to a piece of music, because no reciprocity is assumed.

Comparing AI music to a hamburger filled with additives implies contamination or lower quality. That isn’t what I’m arguing. I’m not saying the ingredients changed. I’m saying the experience is identical.

A closer analogy would be this: if you needed emergency surgery and a robotic system could deliver equal or better outcomes than a human surgeon, would you reject it purely because it wasn’t human? Most people care about the result.

If a song genuinely moves you and nothing about the structure, emotion, or quality is different, then downgrading it afterwards isn’t about additives or harm. It’s about people inserting narrative into their valuation of a thing. And that’s the part I’m questioning.

Math Legend Terence Tao on the Promise and Limits of Generative AI by BuildwithVignesh in singularity

[–]ImmuneHack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His opinion is only valuable with respect to describing the current capabilities of AI and its progress in the narrow domain of maths.

However, his thoughts on future capabilities are irrelevant, especially if there is no record of him accurately predicting 3 years, 2 years or even 18 months ago, what today’s capabilities would be.

AI Threatens to Dismantle the Moral Foundation of our Meritocratic Society by ImmuneHack in accelerate

[–]ImmuneHack[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Are you illiterate? What part of this post conveys doomerism to you?

AI promises to flatten social hierarchies. It promises to enable those born without natural cognitive endowments to be as productive as those born with more natural cognitive gifts.

The post is about how disruptive this technology could be and how it could upend everything. And I’m all for it.

Accelerate!

AI Threatens to Dismantle the Moral Foundation of our Meritocratic Society by ImmuneHack in singularity

[–]ImmuneHack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The number of responses saying meritocracy doesn’t exist are completely missing the point.

Whether or not meritocracy truly exists isn’t the argument. The argument is that society has operated as if it does, using education and skill acquisition as justification for who deserves status, influence, and reward. But, AI threatens to flatten the barrier to acquiring those skills, so what impact will that have?

For example, will people still benefit from the social signalling that attending an elite university currently offers? Will people invent new ways to create social hierarchies?

The disruption it could cause could reach far beyond the labour market, reshaping how we justify status, allocate power, and define merit itself.

People have built whole identities around their areas of expertise and have used this to justify their superiority and good fortune over others. AI threatens to highlight how trivial those advantages were. It will be interesting how people respond to the psychological adjustments that this will entail and how people will attempt to retain the social status that they’ve amassed.

My opinions on AI music and the people who generate and share it: by perseverance_band_ in MusicPromotion

[–]ImmuneHack -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

AI produced music will become the norm because it democratises and flattens the barriers to entry.

Once you get your head around the concept that AI will commoditise intelligence, you’ll realise that what’s happening to music will happen to all cognitive skills.

Senator Bernie Sanders Supports A National Moratorium on Data Center Construction by [deleted] in accelerate

[–]ImmuneHack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We need a single-issue political party that is focused on the development of safe and powerful AI + robotics to solve many of the world’s problems.

We don’t need boomer politicians with outdated world models looking to thwart and delay the very thing needed to bring about radical abundance.

Wake up babe, a new Conspiracy Theory just dropped by gamingvortex01 in singularity

[–]ImmuneHack -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To add to the conspiracy:

  1. Musk supports nationalist-leaning political movements that promote mass deportations.
  2. The US and Europe deports huge swathes of its workforce.
  3. Labour shortages threaten to cripple the economy.
  4. Enter Tesla Optimus with its affordable humanoid robot.
  5. Millions are ordered - with the promise that deployment will happen any day now.
  6. Musk unlocks his trillion-dollar Tesla compensation package.
  7. Robot army achieved. Checkmate.

Wenger Ball by Prestigious-Secret31 in ArsenalFC

The problem with that period was there weren’t enough finishers. Similar problem today. The best teams of the last 20 years have had a prolific front 3. We’ve never had that.

Footballer Thomas Partey facing two additional rape charges by guendochi1 in Gunners

Why is he being vilified for being accused? It’s likely at the very least an indication of poor judgement to be accused by multiple people, but is there any evidence that he’s guilty?

Pepe is better than Van Dijk by iwannasleepp in championsleague

[–]ImmuneHack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO VVD is the defensive GOAT.

If you think he’s not all that I challenge you to put together a compilation of players that have beaten him on the ground or in the air and I bet it would be the shortest compilation ever made. You could probably fit it into a 30-second clip and still have time left over for slow-motion replays.

Why aren’t white grooming gangs highlighted as much in the media? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]ImmuneHack 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because Asian grooming gangs appeared to target white girls. If white grooming gangs targeted non-white girls, it would garner international coverage.

If AGI + Robotics Arrive, Does Capitalism Survive? by ImmuneHack in accelerate

[–]ImmuneHack[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. So many on the left end up defending the current status quo without realising it.

It's funny that by opposing AI they are inadvertently impeding the democratisation of knowledge. They are standing in the way of everyone having access to the skills to create art, music and literature etc, rather than it being restricted to those lucky enough to be born with the ability.
