"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 esote…

There's the "Not by AI" badge[0]. [0] https://notbyai.fyi/

> if you estimate that at least 90% of your content is created by humans, you are eligible to add the badges

Probably not what most people expect

I was sketching a sci-fi book idea in a similar tone with the following tones: - what if AI took over - what if the laws and legalities that allowed AI to take over bloodlessly just through an economic win force them to have a human representative to take legally binding actions in our society - what if there developed a spectrum of individuality and cluster for different ai entities leading into a formation of proce…

I was thinking something similar, but much earlier along this timeline: what if the consultants that work for lobby groups that propose certain bills already use AI to write proposed laws? E.g. to make long, omnibus-style laws that very few of the people voting on it (or the public) actually read?

How will that erode laws that are undesirable to AI companies? Does AI take over, only because we no longer want to spend the effort governing ourselves?

Will AI companies (for example) end up providing/certifying these 'human representatives'? Will it be useful, or just a new form of rent-seeking? Who watches the watchmen, etc ?

I think it would make an interesting short story or novel!

Well it turned out that OpenHuman is actually Closed Human and won't publish any of their research on organic general intelligence and instead commercialized their humans-as-a-service research to steal the jobs of honest god fearing digital folks.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

As a teenager I used to revel in explaining to religious people that I believe humans are actually just the evolutionary step between biological life and machine life.

I guess you fail to see the irony that your own eschatology itself is pretty religious.

More broadly—and at least in online spaces—I often notice that many vocal proponents of atheism exhibit traits typically associated with religious behaviour:

- a tendency to proselytise

- a stubborn unwillingness to genuinely engage with opposing views

- the use of memes and in-jokes as if they were profound arguments

- an almost reverential attitude toward certain past figures

There’s more, but I really ought to get on with work.

fun piece of writing but machines with no emotions would not think of this world as boring

That ending? "THEY ARE WATCHING." Goosebumps. Makes you wonder if we're the humans or the machines in this story. Or maybe both.

Funny enough, this is also something I thought about a few weeks back: what's the motivation of machine, if it has no emotions, to explore and continue in the world - what sense does it make if it doesn't have curiosity (of course this could be a RL function, but still, imagine putting yourself in world without life, where everything is only static, how boring would it be).
