RE: Regulating AI

in #life2 years ago

It's what we need to automate decentralized production.

Efficiency and automation are both good for production, but everything comes at a cost.

enable our personal means of production to be automated and pump out wealth so we can live in inconceivable prosperity in absolute freedom

As AI improves, I wonder if the value of human creativity will diminish, as the arts (writing, art and music) become free and abundant to generate. Perhaps industries that rely on creativity for their business to be profitable may elect the cheaper AI option, over human talent.

My guess is that as AI advances, it will someday be locked up behind a paywall and become more and more expensive to use!

"...as AI advances, it will someday be locked up behind a paywall..."

Can't. It's already in the wild. FOSS AI is poised right now to outperform supercomputer based commercial AI products. FOSS AI isn't burdened with horrible overhead, backdoors, surveillance of it's users, and all manner of malicious code. It's far lighter, and shoots straight.

We don't need 'Big AI' anyway. We need little AI that times the roast, waters the garden, feeds the chickens, and etc. That frees humanity to do other productive work while generating wealth from independent means of production. Once we get access to the illimitable resources in space, that will be a route to inconceivable wealth, literally unimaginable.

And there will be no way to send armies after us, no way to make us pay a cut to overlords. We will be absolutely free to do whatever we want, with whatever we want to do it with. Automating production won't be limited to feeding the chickens, but will also involve mining asteroids and fabricating solar panels, for example.

No one will put anything they own themselves behind a paywall. FOSS AI is already in the wild, and it's outcompeting corporate products, running on ordinary laptops.

Centralization cannot compete with decentralization because it is burdened with horrific overhead, and decentralization eliminates parasitic losses. Overlords are the parasites.

Overlords are the parasites

Truth.
