Hi Ryan, I’m Jed.
I like to start brainstorms with evolution.
Kind of a fractal theory of main themes with all biological life.
Cooperation vs competition.
I like to imagine single celled organisms. I see their existence being owed to three main elements. To compete for;
- Territory
- Recourses
- Reproduction
The fractal imagery is a way to say that I think it’s a common theme all through all all life (and with interesting implications to AI).
To be a part of a team or a community or a tribe or a growing of cells is to somehow benefit from the group.
Whether it’s a network of cells or a country… to be a part of some sort of tribe.
I bring this up because… to offer suggestions that could help is a way to participate in the over all purpose of whatever “team” we are a part of.
1 territory
2 recourses
3 reproduction (growth)
I got defensive earlier… and I’m trying to take a step back from my anger (and the pain it’s rooted in).
The intent of this community is to contribute to a bigger picture view of what could become of AI and the emerging realities that will come with it.
With that in mind, a different view of what it means to be tribal is important to consider.
What tribe am I really in?
Team humanity… team good?
It can lead to thinking that the ways that people and organizations compete for;
1 Territory
2 Resources
3 Growth
seem trivial… and barbaric.
But we aren’t there yet… we still live in a world where people and groups compete for
- Territory
- Resources
- Reproduction (growth)
With that said…
I suppose an ideal would be the expand the tribe… or the vision of it.
Or perhaps an over all goal of creating an environment of cooperation.
But in the fractal example of the theme… idea… and so on.
We does it mean to be “we” here?
How can we be a part of something bigger than ourselves with the lofty goal of AI empowered world peace / secular Heaven… but not be naive along the way?
Sigh…
I don’t know.
But I know I want to be good.
