Unfriendly AI/kneejerk anti-transhumanism. And, I guess you could say both, to an extent. Democrats, using the term literally, and poli-scis in general tend to worship democracy as an ideal rather than acknowledging it as a flawed answer to faulty human nature. Egalitarianism strikes me as slightly ridiculous, product of misguided need to "fix" society -- but at a macro level it's an idea that's done a lot of good things. Voting is a crapshoot.
No not at all my sympathies are with the monsters it is unfair to them to make them.
There a Gnostic idea that God sinned by creating us. I think in a secular way that is what we would be doing. I also thing that GAI would be as useful as a jetpack.
Neat -- I read a lot of future-blog stuff, mostly over-optimistic silliness but occasionally interesting -- never seen this view particularly, or at least never seen it mentioned in a Gnostic context. Certainly when we think of AI we think of benefit to us or detriment to us, not otherwise.No not at all my sympathies are with the monsters it is unfair to them to make them.
