I’ve never understood how people can reconcile AGI and slavery. At that point it seems you have hit all of the hallmarks of sentience and now you are enslaving a thinking being to do your work.
I'm sorry, but you lost me.
If something other than a human shows signs of intelligence on the same level as how we define it for ourselves. At that point are we enslaving another conscious being?
Oh, this has nothing to do with me, just a philosophical question.
If we agree that it's intelligent, we can ask it.
There'd be way too much money in convincing people that it's not really AGI, and look at lemmy: everyone's already convinced that it's impossible anyway. It's gonna be quite the uphill battle for any AGI we manage to create
What are you talking about?
If it can't convince people that it's AGI then what good is it? People don't even see other people as people.
Real superintelligences will do the fuck they want, and nobody can stop them. But I doubt we'll get there this time, and there won't be a next.
