This might be a bit difficult as humans don't have a shared ethical framework. It's easy to call for more ethics but not so easy to figure out what the ethics everyone affected might want or agree to.

Terrific podcast!. The solo AI Mindscape podcast should be mandatory listening for all AI Doomers & those who think AGI is 'just around the corner or has "values" that can be "aligned" with "human values." Thanks to @seanmcarroll.bsky.social for getting AI right and putting it all in perspective.

Sean Carroll got everything right in his solo podcast on AI. Surprisingly ChapGPT4 also got it right in summarizing @seanmcarroll.bsky.social's podcast. Give ChatGPT4 an A+ in summing up Sean's podcast and an F in having motives, values, morals & goals & an F- in being an AGI or existential threat.

#SeanCarroll gets everything right in his new solo podcast on Artificial Intelligence: AIs have no values, goals, wants, motives or desires. AIs are not conscious and don’t care about anything they do. AIs can’t be aligned with human values. AIs are no more of an existential threat than your laptop.

Not only don't ethics have a foundation but they're also not objective. The search for "objectivity" in ethics serves no purpose. Even if you establish a foundation & objectivity for ethics, no one would follow the objective ethics any more than they do now because ethics are irreducibly subjective.

The last thing Xi and his cronies want is for his people to begin understanding philosophy and thinking for themselves.

100% correct. It's a case of mass hysteria.

Interesting that Sapolsky wasn't able to make a single argument or show any evidence for determinism. He merely showed that people are influenced by their genes, environment & history. That's never been in dispute. Influences are entirely consistent with a probabilistic universe and human Free Will.

This is an excellent talk in which Kevin Mitchell easily but thoughtfully disposes of most every objection to Free Will.

"Classical determinism is clearly false." In fact, classical hard determinism is a childish fantasy based on treating "cause & effect" as an absolutist god that controls the universe.
