The concerns of the machines read very human. Why would they bother? Also the end didn't really land for me. I guess AGI realized what was going on?

"[0] The machines wrote their own version of this story. If you’d like to see what they’re thinking, and how they plan to deal with the AGI announcement, you can read their accounting of events here."

Although I can't...

I remember living in Scotland as a child, without access to satellite TV, causing me to miss out on many large pop-culture moments (The Simpsons, Friends...) and constantly hearing "Except for our viewers in Scotland..."[0]

Getting access to the internet, for me was antithesis of this, freedom of information, free sharing -- finally! I could not just be following curves but be ahead of them.

Alas in the past few years we really seem to have regressed from this - now I can't even view text due to regional locks.

When we have a problem such as "why do humans exist" I like to think of it in terms of probabilities. Every possible cause has a non zero probability. For example, even something religious people would believe in such as Adam and Eve were created by god would have a non zero probability. The idea would be to create a convergence diagram of sorts with all sorts of possible events with a score assigned to each. From gods of various religious creating humans, to alien species from another galaxy sending unicellular life to earth to an asteroid carrying chemicals needed to make the first cell, I would love to see someone use all these GPTs and put together the most comprehensive probable cause of existence ever investigated

Doesn't really make much sense. It states that this is a purely mechanistic world with no emotion. So why would a machine be "bored" and wish to create a human?

"Written by a human [0]"

I've been playing around with this on my own blog.

I'd like the blogging community to have a consensus on a nice badge we can put at the top of our blog posts, representing who/what wrote the post;

- human

- hybrid

- ai

Some might hate the idea of a fully "ai" post, and that's fair. But I like to sometimes treat my blog as just a personal reference, and if after a long day of chasing an esoteric bug down, I don't mind an AI just writing the whole post and I just press publish.

This adds, a reference for me, more data for AI's to train on, more pages for people to search and land on.

yeah, more on the environmental constraints and where the machines even come from would be nice

> There is no emotion. There is no art. There is only logic

also this type of pure humanism seems disrespectful or just presumptuous, as if we are the only species which might be capable of "emotion, art and logic" even though we already have living counterexamples

"Summarize my sleep deprived, insane ramblings, in to a cohesive document that I can reference again in the future, or use to communicate this issue to others in a more digestible format than I am currently capable of producing"

I think the AI generated document is far better than me ultimately forgetting it in many cases.
