       It seems there's an acceleration of people working in #tech speaking out or resigning over lack of serious #ethics work while developing #AI (#Hinton). Now #chatGPT linked to #MRI successfully reads thoughts. While the study concludes: "subject cooperation is required both to train and to apply the decoder", we know the pace of #technology means this won't be an obstacle for long. Then what? Is saving 1 person with cerebral injury worth enslaving 1 million? #techethics https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/brain-scan-ai-chatgpt-thoughts-b2330628.html

       @sheislaurence @mrcompletely I heard about this on NPR and was like “so, who’s the first person a grand jury indicts for thought crimes?”

       @paninid @mrcompletely Exactly! As we're swimming in Newspeak, talking of #climatechange when it is armageddon #climatebreakdown, I find it difficult to remain sane while all the energy is spent trying to control people, ultimately to get marginal points (a bigger car, a bigger pool, a girl with bigger..) when the stakes are survival (of the species, incl. those with pools). We're being hijacked by less than 3000 psychopaths (#billionaires) & no one does anything about it. Someone give me hope!

       @sheislaurenceWhat you're asking is for someone to give you hope in humanity.I can't do that as l don't have "faith" in humanity (especially the ones that live locally) & many "decision makers".On a more broader scale - climate change will negatively effect food production. As food prices increase, this will cause more civil unrest. Maybe ecological limiting factors will "knock" some sense into humanity. For sanity listen to "Crazy Town" https://www.resilience.org/crazy-town-podcast/@paninid @mrcompletely

       @empiricism @sheislaurence @mrcompletely Refugees from Central America in the Western Hemisphere and Syria in the Eastern are already evidence of ecosystem failures led by climate change. There will be more in the Global South. In the US, it will be most acute and represented in insurance premiums cuz actuaries gonna actuaries and the math don’t lie.

       @empiricism @sheislaurence @paninid @mrcompletely The conception of humanity commonplace in our cultures is what is holding us back." ... this view is rooted in concepts of humanity that describe us as helpless automatons, victims of an uncaring unthinking destiny. According to this widespread and very popular view, there is nothing we can do to avoid the inevitable outcomes of our actions because it is 'human nature' to drag us down."https://vocal.media/earth/is-humanity-doomed
