AI was created in the context of the profit-maximising machine

Fools are we to begin to think we can solve problems using the same tools ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ, be that physical or digital tools or thinking or computing tools, that created the problem in the first place โŒ.

We have a world that currently incentivizes maximum profit at any cost ๐Ÿ’ต. Good people become bad actors in this game ๐Ÿ˜ˆ.

In a class last night, I asked the question, โ€œAre people naturally selfish or is the context they live in the ground to create selfishness as the side effect?โ€ ๐Ÿค”

We forget just how much the context we are in shapes our behavior and response ๐ŸŒŽ.

Today we have a machine that self-regulates and is autopoietic, becoming smarter with each step it takes ๐ŸŒ๐Ÿง .

While I agree with the urgent need for global regulation on AI, we are foolish to think that regulating this within the context of an existing rapacious profit-maximizing machine will create a better outcome for humanity ๐Ÿšจ.

Indeed, AI was created in the context of the profit-maximizing machine. The Source Idea of AI is encoded with the very issue that will consume everything ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

This is the dilemma we face. We need a higher order of thinking, governance, and incentives towards a world that works for Earth and all her creatures ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒ.

Anything less is wishful thinking ๐Ÿ’ญ.
