I miss scarcity

I think I know what I am trying to say. Your world view is too speculative and abstract to make concrete predictions as to what is and is not possible in the future with an evolving technology. Particularly in light of the empirical evidence and progress made in the AI world over the last 20 years. 

It is a great synthesis from multiple disciplines of the foundation of reality and information. But it is a theory... a theoretical world view. Not a heavily tested, corroborated and scientifically accepted paradigm. So, it is very worthy of consideration but not one that can be relied upon to rule out the outcome of using  technology that is being developed that is heading into an unknown solution space where it is easy to construct scenarios that can result in human extinction. 

I acknowledge that humans tend to predict negative outcomes on things they do not fully understand. I think at one time it was held that breaking the sound barrier would result in a catastrophe and the CERN Supercollider would create a black hole that would consume the earth. 

But in this care a significant number of scientist who are creating this technology are loudly decrying the open and unregulated development of SGI. I have heard / read from many of these. This is a threat that should not be dismissed. Especially in a world with politicians that think at the sixth grade level that are in charge of the world of technology and war. Yes, I was purposefully being generous.

Lack of predictive power related to a new technology has nothing to do with understanding. McLuhan did not predicted LLM power to catch language and control all other tehchnologies. But he understood what they are.

Kurzweil predicted way more better what A.I. will become but he understand not much about medias history and what means A.I. creation...

My goal was not to predict what A.I. will become as such, it is now where we are and easy to predict it : overpowering of human intelligence and society as it was...

My goal in my posts was pointing to a threat to our free threefold  social fabric precisely as a threefold organism instead of being one layer of technocratic control...(the Terminator scenario is Hollywood for now) .

Now i conveyed some prediction about A.I. artificial consciousness over merely artificial intelligence as it is now, but the scientist which book i recommended about that , is not a quack or a mere philosopher, he is the greatest pionner in microtubules  structure as time crystals.. He developed the concrete mathematics of A.C. and created the first artificial brain concretely.

Then... You shot the messenger without knowing about the message yet or discarded it politely indeed..... You are a person i respect a lot... You even read one of the book i recommended ...I dont remember that many had read some articles i recommended on acoustics here ...

My best to you sincerely...

I read your posts recommendation in audio as wise advices...

Thanks.
