Or the bio-mech interface ends up showing that you can simulate and endlessly interesting universe... far more interesting than base reality.
The species leaves real space for virtual space.

The more intelligent you are, the more you realize pic related would unironically be a utopia.

Would you consider something like pic related to be a good quality of life?

Would pic related happening be a good thing?

>Benatar's policy prescription is untenable. Radical anti-natalism as a recipe for human extinction will fail because any predisposition to share that bias will be weeded out of the population. Radical anti-natalist ethics is self-defeating: there will always be selection pressure against its practitioners. Complications aside, any predisposition not to have children or to adopt is genetically maladaptive. On a personal level, the decision not to bring more suffering into the world and forgo having children is morally admirable. But voluntary childlessness or adoption is not a global solution to the problem of suffering.

>Yet how should rational moral agents behave if - hypothetically - some variant of Benatar's diagnosis as distinct from policy prescription was correct?

>In an era of biotechnology and unnatural selection, an alternative to anti-natalism is the world-wide adoption of genetically preprogrammed well-being. For there needn't be selection pressure against gradients of lifelong adaptive bliss - i.e. a radical recalibration of the hedonic treadmill. The only way to eradicate the biological substrates of unpleasantness - and thereby prevent the harm of Darwinian existence - is not vainly to champion life's eradication, but instead to ensure that sentient life is inherently blissful. More specifically, the impending reproductive revolution of designer babies is likely to witness intense selection pressure against the harmfulness-promoting adaptations that increased the inclusive fitness of our genes in the ancestral environment of adaptation. If we use biotechnology wisely, then gradients of genetically preprogrammed well-being can make all sentient life subjectively rewarding - indeed wonderful beyond the human imagination. So in common with "positive" utilitarians, the "negative" utilitarian would do better to argue for genetically preprogrammed superhappiness.

I dunno anon, the more I learn the more I share his materialistic and nihilistic viewpoint. I think the part in the book where picrelated is humanites endgame is sadly correct

Its not about Moore's low, every year the compute used to train the largest AI models 10x's and has been since 2012 (https://openai.com/blog/ai-and-compute/ ).
They will soon have as many parameters as the human brain has synapses (100's trillions).

And this is just the start, new stuff will happen this decade as architectural improvements are made. If you want to see what GPT-3 can do check out some examples here its very impressive: https://www.gwern.net/GPT-3

Just look at what has happened over the last decade, if that repeats it self its hard to imagine AGI being all that far off.
