Reply to Do you think BluRay DVDs are the final form of physical media? Or will a new physical media format come to be, and what would that look like? by Daveyb003
I don't get the question. All data, even if remote to us, is stored on or backed up on physical media.

Then we totally lose control as one or multiple AIs go marching down whatever inscrutable paths they go down. This is a big worry for humanity. We are not a nice species. We do a lot of harm. AIs may not care for us that much.

Technical advancement is not for human wellbeing. It never has been even if it was rationalized that way. For technnology to take hold you need a lot of capital investment. That puts control firmly in the hands of a few who, for their own reasons, want to invest in it. They are not thinking about humanity.

Reply to "By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it."- Eliezer Yudkowsky. by KiwiTechCorp
That is identical to the issues that sprout around IT every time some new concept is brought out whether mainframe, PC, network, COTS, web, cloud, etc. It was all a grappling of trying to re-architect and re-engineer while keeping the lights on. Basic considerations.
One of the dangers is thinking that issues around AI are new issues.

That is the $64 question isn't it? It's unresolved but if you want to talk of upload as a means of prolonging your existence, it's part of the gamble.

It could say it's you, believe it's you and act like you, but your consciousness may not be in it.
