13 AI and the demise of Reason - Pt 1
Manage episode 356432746 series 1107000
We've got something very special for y'all tonight: A joint episode between Marc from The Computer Exorcist Podcast and brilliant Tone from the RocToneDef Podcast! We discuss:
How any kind of intelligence, natural or artificial, requires reason and judgement, otherwise it's pointless.
Cultural lag, which describes the disparity between the few developing cutting edge technology and the many who are lagging far behind, lacking basic things.
A rudimentary BASIC program that asks for your name and then repeats it back to you. Simple technology, but amazing for the layman. Turns out these AI chatbots aren't much more than that, yet people are all astir thinking this is something worth worshiping.
How the tech industry is nothing more than a pile of in-bred monopolies, and the only time one of them falls is when a new paradigm appears.
How the new surveillance economy is a Soviet's dream, and how our downfall may come from very patient people who plant seeds and watch.
AI in the classroom: Will it help stimulate kids, or will it finish off a very damaged system?
The tech industry "pre-bunking" the content we view, as if they were helicopter parents, vs. actually being raised with reason and logic to determine right and wrong for yourself.
Quite a bit, huh?
