A.I. Is Shedding Enlightenment Values

It’s kind of interesting that everyone seems optimistic that AI will revolutionize scientific inquiry, but I might argue that it could lead to another dark ages. Sort of as implied in the article, AI is likely to divide us further into micro-communities (of 1). Fully embracing our individuality but never having to compromise with (or learn from anyone else’s opinions.). Further doing unpleasant things to our politics as we learn we should get everything we want.

There was a recent interview with Travis Kalanick on all in, talking about how he felt like he was on the verge of reaching new physics in his talks to AI.

And it reminded me of something someone said which was basically like AI may be able to be perfectly influential or convincing before anything else. And if you think about the human psyche as a black box, maybe Travis Kalanick doesn’t actually need to start a company to be stimulated, just talk to perfectly stimulating AI.

Extrapolated to the rest of society, and yeah, dark ages.

Once AI begins self-feeding with bullshit most of VC's will collapse because their data will rendered useless unless they rollback like crazy.
