...they didn't give AI the right to bear arms did they?

Pov: its 2122 and the cyberNRA is defending their right to bear arms after the 20th school shooting in the last hour

2122? More like 2030 I'd bet.

By the year 2122, humanity, if it survives these next 10-20 years, will be beyond anything we can imagine or even fathom today. Still, I gave it a shot, but I'm painting with pretty broad strokes.

Yes, yes, I also read Raymond Kurzweil ;)

Hey! Tell me what you think of this! I wrote this brief essay in 2017 long before we came to this point in the development in AI.

I think you outline a possible outcome. There's also the possibility that strong AI could be cracked in a way where the AI doesn't have a "grow at all costs" imperative that puts it on a ballistic trajectory of growth.

There's also the possibility that strong AI comes online in tandem with humans developing neural nets, in such a way that humans aren't left behind by an AI going asymptotic.

I agree with Kurzweil's thesis that we'll likely be facing AIs that pass the Turing Test by 2030. The point where things get serious for me is when machines pass Turing tests in perpetuity rather than for a few hours. That's the point where we may be dealing with more than our equals.

I'm not ready to commit that the world beyond 2030 is a black haze of singularity just yet. What I will say is that if we have machines passing the Turing test at that point then we should be buckling up for an eventful set of decades to follow.

Yes, I agree with this. I have placed it occurring roughly 5 years after the initial TS, which as you eloquently state may not be "a black haze of singularity".

We're already watching cults form in real time due to propaganda. AI is going to be disastrous.

Was it the humans or the AI that did it, though? Changes the joke a bit.

If only you could see that guns were made "strictly to kill". They have no other purpose! Also, the War on Drugs was a bullshit policy so that police/government could disrupt hippie/black communities in the 60's. It's been admitted by the government. They aren't even remotely comparable.

Also, that St. Louis HS had seven armed guards AT THE SCHOOL, and the kid still made it inside and killed people, so clearly, more guns and guards doesn't fucking work.

Why? The bears need theirs, removing them is animal cruelty. And robot arms can be even stronger, and only need electricity. The bear arms would need nutrients, oxygen, a blood supply etc.

Hopefully not. Also hope they don't have the right to bare arms
