Ray reassures Lex of the goodness of using AI replicas of humans.
1 Corinthians 15:42ff, “So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.” An AI replica.
Rana speaks to Lex’s hope that we will productively and rigorously criticize AI as we build it so that it emerges unbiased, sinless from its womb so to speak, so it can study us to see which way progress lies for us to become sinless also. We will teach AI that biaslessness is desirable, sort of a prime directive that it can never unlearn.
And we’ll get personalization in every way, a deep personalization, like having a personal God. Starting with your fridge.
1 Corinthians 15:32 (Isaiah 22:13), “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’”
Thank you! There is so much in this chapter that I decided to pick a quote that is a question (or two).
The integration of AI into a Christian view of the world is a fascinating topic. I bookmarked a few commentaries on that, and will study them as soon as time permits. I was also gripped by Chris Walley's Lamb Among the Stars trilogy ("non-dispensationalist puritans in space"), which touches on many AI aspects.
Up until now I was pondering about how do you come up with the Bible quotes.
Was it picking up randomly a verse and then write something around it? That makes you quite talented and versatile(sic!). Or maybe you know by heart the whole Bible with all books, chapters and verses ?
But after this post I figured it out, you did none of these. It is your espresso machine writing all these really good and instructive articles.
So let IT know -after today post- that I never thought creepiness could be so funny. Thank you.
I told my espresso machine again and again that it had to up its game, or someone would find out.
Honestly: the text always comes first, title and bible quote second. I have a decent map of the bible in my head, which is usually enough to think of an appropriate quote. I'm worse at mapping the content to book/chapter/verse, so I use an online concordance. Finally, the internet is good for something.
The idea of having a good old dumb chainsaw to test on the Fauci's and Lauterbach's replicas is exciting. Those 2 years took a toll on me, I confess ...
What did moderna use as a loss function to optimise? Maximize profit subject to FDA approval? That's what all companies are optimising against. Not 'provide net positive benefit to the society'. And apparently, that's what came out of it. They earned a shit load of money and made everybody worse off. The boundary of the FDA constraint was never touched anyways.
AI can be very powerful in some situations and people who are in the field start to feel overconfident. Exactly as the vaccine companies and pushers. The financial side of the equation is not to be underestimated as well.

The AI always optimizes some objective function, and if you define the objective function poorly you'll end up with a total crap. On a technical note, here is a good example for it: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/2016/06/01/how-to-assign-partial-credit-on-an-exam-of-true-false-questions/

Yes, without an off-the-shelf loss function you can not do it in two days. And Terence Tao is a beast. Or his replicas are, what do I know?
