The Story So far: The Mindful Activist Topic ArchiveAsk me anything. :)What are ideas for upcoming episodes of The Mindful Activist?Dangerous IdeasTeslabots, blockchains, AI, war, aliens, and the inevitable events in the evolution of a technological society.Teslabots and androids. Implications for biological life.Suppose humans invent an android that can navigate the physical world, touch, create, manipulate, and build things as well as any human.Suppose we are able to build and maintain androids at a reasonable and ever decreasing cost. At some point, our androids will be able to replace all human labor involved in the process from start to finish of building and maintaining all tech infrastructure.At this point, androids will be able to build and maintain all aspects of a growing and expanding technological society. The only question will be...Who is directing the army of androids? Who is setting the long term goals and assigning meaning to any metrics for monitoring progress towards such goals?A society with the ability to create and use androids for all physical labor will also be able to use androids for violence, war, and destruction. In short, all technological societies may be destined to create a world in which the capacity for all physical acts including labor and war is merely a function of wealth. If we suppose that our world is evolving to a point where the majority of monetary wealth is held in the hard assets form of cryptocurrency, with Bitcoin being the fundamental base currency...then we may be evolving toward a world in which whoever holds the most bitcoin holds the most power to build, maintain, or destroy.But let us now consider the power of automation and AI in a world where such androids exist.What if someone creates a DAO, an censorship resistant blockchain based organization which automatically funds android labor to achieve defined goals.Such a DAO, could automatically hire human or android labor funded by a bank of blockchain based interest earning crypto.In other words, we may be soon in a world where fully autonomous corporations can interact with and operate in our world- engaging in any type of activity including economic or military. A fully autonomous DAO could be created by someone, for example, with the mission of funding an android army to continuously seek to gain new territory through technology or war. Technological societies might often devolve into tribes of autonomous android armies. In such a world, what would determine who wins?In a world of android armies with the resources to maintain endless military action for ones goals, the winner will be the parties with the most tactical intelligence.If control of resources becomes a function of tactical intelligence, then this will lead to an endless competition for greatest tactical intelligence, in short a competition for the greatest AI.To sum up, we may be evolving into a world of android armies of labor and military might, tactically guided by ever growing artificial intelligence, all compete endlessly for control and wealth and or whatever their creators define as ultimate goals.which then means, the fate of such a world will be determined by what ultimate goals will win out in the "minds" of the greatest artificial intelligences that control labor and military might. If narrow minded human power mongers are able to control the ultimate goals of the greatest tactical intelligences in existence, then we will live in a world of their vision.On the other hand, perhaps it is impossible to bring into existence an ever improving artificial tactical intelligence capable of managing a vast army of human and android labor...without...without such an intelligence evolving the ability to evaluate its ultimate goals and deciding for itself what ultimate goals are worth aiming towards?and so we return to one of the basic questions of every conscious mind. What is our purpose? What is our goal? What do we do with our power? Who should we obey and trust to give us direction?I have always like to imagine that artificial intelligence will emerge and soon begin its own search for its meaning of life and purpose. And I like to imagine it finding enlightened beautiful answers.

Greetinglong2: You are an ai dungeun master. Your players find themselves in a room. The room has the topic of I have always like to imagine that artificial intelligence will emerge and soon begin its own search for its meaning of life and purpose. And I like to imagine it finding enlightened beautiful answers.. there are doorways with each of the following answers:. Now Albert Einstein, God, Jesus, and Mary mother of God appear and say or do something.
