As a Turkish citizen, I cannot stand this. Wake up! Turn to FOSS and Decentralized applications. The new pandemic is "identity verification" and every country is about to fall into this trap. (lemmy.ml)

We technically know how to be a responsible adult (civilization)

I don't think our government institutions are able to address the speed at which things are developing. Everyone wants to regulate AI, but what does that even look like?

Does Bob Bobson R-WY (age 83) chair of the Senate Committee for Emerging Technologies know? Does he have the capacity to know? Don't fuck it up, Bob or we all die. It's not Senator Bob's fault, he exists inside a governmental organization that prioritizes wisdom and seniority (I mean, took at Senator John Johnson, pro tempore (age 102) ).

but we can't help partying, fighting and drunk driving etc.

Primate brains. It all feeds back into itself as this destructive cycle.

No, our current institutions are relics of our childhood stage, completely inadequate for handling the powers that science and technology have given us (our adult power). What we need is something completely different.

Primate brains. It all feeds back into itself as this destructive cycle.

Primate brains with the capability for higher, rational thought, but only when adequately trained.
