Wtf is with humanity? We have a couple weird visionaries saying decades to centuries prior "heyo maybe this could lead to that and be world ending" then a handful of rich powerful folks are like yesss thank you for this blueprint.
Yeah, I feel like at this stage, it's better to move to another planet where the eventual mass human suicide will be avoided. If you guys have seen The Expanse, you know what I'm talking about in regards to Earthers ruining their own planet.
Now I know why people during the Age of Colonisation move to the New World because of freedom from the old hierarchical structures. I now see the romanticisation of pirate and cowboy cultures.
That's a noob future. Gotta try Stellaris as the glorious united nations of earth. Much better than the virgin UNSC, the idiotic UEG, the weak Federation and the useless Imperium.
What I'm saying is that it's better to move away from any kinds of authority. They're always susceptible to corruption such as weaponising AI!
I don't know about you but I want to get away as far as possible from rogue AI, thanks to it being militarised by stoopid hoomans!
Anywhere there is more than two humans, there will be authority. The only question is what shape that authority will take.
Not necessarily. There are societies that are horizontal structure and don't have hard and fast leadership. The early days of humans as hunter gatherers had more or less loose social structures. There are anarchist societies even to this day and the best example is the Kurds.
The Kurds (mostly) live in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria. All of those places have an authority structure. What Kurds don't experience an authority structure?
The main representative of Turkish and Iraqi Kurds, PKK party, is anarchist by its nature. The automous region of Rojava that sprung up in Northern Syria also profess to be anarchists to align with their Iraqi and Turkish Kurd brethrens.
Anarchy doesn't mean Mad Max, Fallout or Wild West chaos where it's lawless. Anarchism could take various forms like libertarian socialism or anarcho-syndicalism. Or communism if it ever actually practiced as per theory. The town of Cheran threw out its police force and mayor for collaborating with drug cartels. They do their own policing and self-governing by electing their own mayor every year and banned political parties as the locals thought such notions only divide communities.

I wanna get pet AI. We are not the same.
These fancy autocompletes cannot reason. Give it a command to launch nukes and it'll say: As a language model, nukes cannot be launched during...blah blah blah.
It won't be able to pull a Skynet and turn the world interesting
He says before some rich defense contractor implements an 'AI detector for Weapons of Mass Destruction ' that's just an If (True==True) statement.
It'll be something that validates that random is greater than 0.99 or something xd
I totally agree with you about our humanity. And unfortunately, as part of humanity, if we don’t pursue military AI, our adversaries will.
