I've told my robot to stay off of the ouija board and everytime I turn my back . . .

I somehow don’t like AI. It uses too much energy and it is not as accessible as Personal Computers. It is so energy hungry that it replaces not only human labor but also eats into human living space. From a humanist perspective, it’s not good.

Everything I’ve been wondering about in one magic article. TLDNR.

Everyone would benefit from reading this book by Neil Gaiman

"AMERICAN GODS"

An entertaining read ........

[RoosterRedux]

I’ll check it out. Thx.

It was turned into a three-season TV series on the Starz cable channel.

“...that we are the creators of God, that we will create God in our own image.””

That is the kind of crap you get when someone is trying to be a deep thinking originalist when he is not equipped mentally to do so.

Simalar topic: Deathbird and other stories by Harlan Ellison.

The ‘ZIZards” would fall into this
TechnoPaganism.

Glenn Beck had an interesting piece.

He questions with AI, are we creating a gollum a superhuman or are we trying to create a god. A tower of babel, a soulless unquestionable intelligence that all must submit to.

Just bought it on Audible. Thx for the recommendation. Can’t wait to start it tomorrow.

Someone suggested a book on AI, but I think I’ll read the one you recommend. Thanks.

[Candor7]

I saw some of that series. The book is much better than the TV adaptation.

[Robert DeLong]

Let's get something straight right out of the gate. AI did not create itself, it was created by humans. Humans create other humans through reproduction. Can humans create AI that develops a higher form of AI, with no further human intervention? But is still comes back to who created the first male human, and then created the first female human, or vice versa, in order for humans to create other humans that now number in the billions?

My vote goes to the Lord regardless how we envision the Lord to be. 🙂👍

Simone Plante, an AI and quantum computing expert

Dollars to donuts she has not written a single program to run on a quantum computer.

Its a blast. I can hardly wait until you meet the AI American God.
