IntroSums are Dynamic explanations that connect and expose The Static Surface with The Static Core of the present Western culture. In the upcoming book there is a chapter with IntroSums and on this blog I will also publish IntroSums occasionally.
The Current Official Discussions
Here are some prominent aspects of AI today.
Britain’s Big AI Summit Is a Doom-Obsessed Mess, Peter Guest, Wired, 23 October 2023. Here is the intro.
UK prime minister Rishi Sunak’s global summit on AI governance will focus on extreme scenarios of algorithms causing harm. Many British AI experts would rather he focus on near-term problems.
Also in Wired.
Slovakia’s Election Deepfakes Show AI Is a Danger to Democracy, Morgan Meaker, Wired, 3 October 2023
More about the same British meeting.
AI firms must be held responsible for harm they cause, ‘godfathers’ of technology say, Dan Milmo, The Guardian, 24 October 2023. From the article.
… “It’s time to get serious about advanced AI systems,” said Stuart Russell, professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley. “These are not toys. Increasing their capabilities before we understand how to make them safe is utterly reckless.”
He added: “There are more regulations on sandwich shops than there are on AI companies.” ...
AI doomsday warnings a distraction from the danger it already poses, warns expert, Dan Milmo, The Guardian, 29 October 2023

The Missing Perspective
When you don’t do or say anything, are your intentions or your worldview obscure or Hidden. As soon as you do or say something becomes your intentions or worldview activated and can be observed.
Accordingly, that so-called Artificial Intelligence is often or mainly considered to be a threat is because the present Western culture is a threat.
Or like this. The tool Artificial Intelligence is not a problem, the problem is the sadistic present Western culture; which is based on suppression and killing and efforts to Hide this relation.
This means as long as the sadistic stupidity of the present Western culture, a terror that is formally called Platonism, is allowed to exist, more and more powerful AI systems will be constructed and used to suppress and kill the citizens; regardless of regulations.
Ergo, the gigantic hope is that Artificial Intelligence can be used to dissolve Platonism or the present Western culture.
...
Later on when I have provided Bard, Googles chatbot, with more facts about Platonism I will try to see if Bard can find some interesting perspectives.
