Instead of trying to uplift humanity by ways of evolution, which got us here, and since the failure of classic eugenics ideas, certain elites have taken to aim to simply replace most 'undesirables' by cementing their own position in the hierarchy and having the best of the unfortunate compete for a position among them by creating this technological nightmare we're kvetching about on this board. Once everything is reasonably automated, I expect there should be massive extinction events, wether by war, anarchy or disease.
I don't mean to sound too paranoid or hopeless, but I think that's at the heart of what we're up against.

Buy some land out in the country. Build a log cabin. Join the Freedom Club.

That's how human creativity works, humans are just much better at it.
Leo Peterson
in that case, humans must have a pretty good filter to remove all the shit that comes through, eg and on that, would an AI (or machine learning in this case) ever be able to actually distinguish it's good creations from its bad ones?
Logan Rivera
No, because neither you nor me could define good or bad creations. We could point out impercections in photos like this . But it is arbitrary what makes things look good to people. Hence why something that is based on cold hard facts and logic could not tell the difference other then what is programmed into it.

You just forgot that we'll be reaching a wall in technological power in the next couple years and that it could take decades to resume improvement.

ah, a relativist, i see

Sure there are things that people have in common that is desirable, like survival traits such as big tits or better chance of reproduction with a longer dick. Or in beauty things like water based landscapes or greenery is desired for its ability to lower the temperature of the landscape and provide cover for in winter even if the landscapers' or owners of it don't realise such. But most things related to good and evil when compared to humans is arbitrary, which includes beauty. There is a reason for that saying of; beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sebastian Gonzalez
for some reason i feel like i should trust all the philosophers throughout history who have considered beauty and aesthetics to be universal. perhaps look at it this way, is math relative? why is beauty found in math?
Benjamin Gomez
Beauty is definitely not in the eyes of the beholder. Maybe another emotion supercedes it, but it wouldn't be beauty.
