@tsvga @mayintoronto I totally believe that effective spell checking will morph into superintelligence immediately, For that reason, I am suggesting that all engineering PhD programs concentrate on spelling quizzes. Once the students can spell properly, they automatically can solve all engineering problems. AmIrite?

@tsvga @mayintoronto I have a small quibble that reinforces your point. We actually do have a lot of experience building incomprehensibly powerful machines with alien intelligence that doggedly pursue inhuman goals. It’s just that they’re big companies and money, not AIs and paperclips. The consequences of building these machines are a big driver of the problem on the right.

@tsvga @mayintoronto @bentsukun but what, and hear me out, if these two are actually related? Even more than that! Global warming and the rise of fascism globally are very happily riding on "AI".
