Grand challenge
Here’s a conundrum…
I can fire up my brain for a grand challenge but it makes me a proper arsehole.
When I say fire up, I mean just that. It’s a biological mass that is highly trained to take in scads of information, process it and spit out actions. Which are all binary: do we do this or not? What do we do?
When I say “arsehole” it means that my brain co-opts parts of my brain that are usually used for empathy and other human like things. It must be part of the process.
Should I or shouldn’t I, that is the human question?
Or, do I want to? Questions that the machines won’t have to face if they are gifted the information to do it.
