I am home but still sick as a dog and under lots
of drugs, so lets see how well this goes…
in thinking about those who fear technology and AI,
but the same people often praise capitalism…
now the problem lies with the idea of the private vices
creating public good that is capitalism…
but they fear the growth of technology and AI and want them to
be controlled, limited in their uses and in some cases, banned…
but what is the exact difference between allowing capitalist free sphere,
outside of government control and those who engage in technology and AI
and Transhumanism? why can’t those who engage in transhumanism and technology
also practice private vices for the public good? doesn’t the same argument that is
right for capitalism also work for those who deal with technology and transhumanism
and AI? if you allow a capitalist to do his thing without any government control or
regulations, then why not allow those who engage with transhumanism or technology
or AI, to go about their business without government control or regulations?
the argument seems to me, to be the same…
now personally, I am in favor of government control and regulations of
both capitalism AND those who engage in technology, transhumanism and
AI…
I just don’t see how you can separate them… either they are both free of
governmental regulations or, or they are both under the government regulations…
