Quote:
What book most shaped your conception of the future? Virginia Postrel’s “The Future and Its Enemies.” She almost perfectly laid out what battles about the future of technological progress and technology, in general, would look like. She identified two camps of thinking about the future, “dynamists” and “stasists.” The stasis mindset defends the status quo, and values the present, or a particular potential future, and is willing to utilize certain legal or social instruments to try to hold the status quo in place. Whereas the dynamists are willing to embrace an uncertain, messy future where there are a lot of unknowns. This is now playing out in the AI wars, in a huge way. At the Brookings event I was just debating people who were very concerned about what the future might hold, but unable to show conclusively how their fears might happen. They were saying, based on a hypothetical, worst-case scenario, we should freeze progress in certain ways, or at least regulate it very aggressively. I'm more of the mind that we should take every day as it comes and allow trial and error to work its magic. This book laid all this out, at a time when the internet was just being born
attributed to some abyss in the mind of bill: "in the dark valley, software knows us more than we know we know ourselves"
«The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled» Plutarch

“Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.” Nietzsche
It's early, I need coffee.

And reality is somewhere in the middle, appropriate to the specific context.

An always relevant quote about the apocalypse is REM's "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)". A better way to look at the AI wars is to view it as our oligarchs trying to figure out ways to monetize it -vs- the geeks who like playing with it for the technology itself. (And the general population, some scared, some not.)

Relative to context throws a pie in many monadic/dualistic faces ... ?

Yes, monetize ! imho: geeks intelligent people who see the potential in AI demonstrated now in diverse domains, amd experience it now using it ... i use ReSharper's AI code generation assistant: it is awesome even in beta !
