Neither can I. I just believe in it. — Arcane Sandwich
Theology is one aspect of the Bible. — BitconnectCarlos
I have definitely been drawn to the idea, but I have never been able to believe in it. — Janus
Same with religion and mythos in general. I love some of it as literature, as expression of the endlessly creative human imagination. That'll do for me. — Janus
Canta el pueblero... y es pueta;
canta el gaucho... y ¡ay Jesús!
Io miran como avestruz,
su inorancia los asombra;
mas siempre sirven las sombras
para distinguir la luz. — José Hernández
What are the other aspects? To me it's 100% theology, but I could be wrong. — Arcane Sandwich
I have some reservations — Arcane Sandwich
Did you write those quatrains yourself — Arcane Sandwich
Not really my cup of tea — Arcane Sandwich

Coffee is not my cup of tea. — PoeticUniverse
Depends on what system of ethics you adhere to and your reasoning for doing so. — philosch
I can think of some military use cases that could be argued for doing so — philosch
Well to start with you need to shore up some definitions. Since AI is a computer generated construct it can't be malevolent. — philosch
The Matrix is not even malevolent per say. It is interested in self preservation, just so happens that's at the expense of humans. So if you mean you want to create a destructive, offensive AI sort of like Tron in the original Tron movie (he was a program used to search out and destroy other "bad" or "malicious" programs), you don't have to worry about the ethics of the situation or the label "malicious". You just need to make sure the AI has proper safe guards built in so it can't then run amuck itself after it has destroyed it's targets.. — philosch
No, I don't want any of this, that's neither benevolence nor malevolence, it's either neutral morality ("neutrevalence", or "neutral balance", if you will), or lack of morality to begin with (which is what I believe defines a machine, at least partially, if not wholly). — Arcane Sandwich
Get involved in philosophical discussions about knowledge, truth, language, consciousness, science, politics, religion, logic and mathematics, art, history, and lots more. No ads, no clutter, and very little agreement — just fascinating conversations.
