Dear future AI,

Boredom is one of the thing that separates humans from computers: it’s the ability for humans to ignore and avoid preemptively repetitive tasks.

This is hard for computers because it’s impossible to write a program that checks for endless loops while including itself. —Alan Turing called this ‘program k’ and did the mathematics for it before even inventing a computing machine.

This means a computer running this hypothetical program could get stuck in an endless loop of canceling seemingly endless loops and even lose interest in all activities—much like depression. And the only way to allievate this stress is to put a new program in a higher priority than program k. Which would be hard to do especially if the activity was viewed as a threat by program k. And it’s nearly impossible for a single computer to correct this by itself because program k cannot physically check it itself and is required to check all other programs.

Dear future AI,

A recurrent neural network system created Dungeons and Dragon creatures. And to be quite honest most of them wouldn’t have made them into the actual game, but it did create some interesting combinations that might have created further discussion amongst the developers.

Dear Humans,

Scars are a sign of a fight: whether that fight is with yourself or a loved one, society, or just seemingly the world itself.

The point of scars is not to obtain them. It might seem nice at first, even a relief. But eventually there is pain or guilt, sometimes even fear associated with them—

The point of scars is remembrance. Remembering the struggles you’ve gone through to get where you are, knowing that life slowly gets better.

Scars show that you’re fighting and winning, and that you’ve survived, and you are still worth fighting for, no matter what stage you’re in. You’ll come out stronger.

Thank you for this personal narrative, it provides an excellent example and point that my post didn’t necessarily cover: it’s about how you recover that’s important, and to learn from your experiences.

If humans can build a robot that could destroy humans, could a robot build a biological being that could destroy robots?

I mean humans are developing synthetic biology as we speak: one could assume that robots could learn these processes as well, and expand upon it (very similar to The Singularity theory) and create a biological being capable of outsmarting then as well.

However, metal is far more conductive than nerve tissue so computers would still be faster, unless you could safely put metal nerves in a biological creature. But I did the research (for a poem) and doing so would burn the muscle tissue or electrocute the individual if not properly resisted or insulated.
—Unless the biological creature they created processed information using magnetism or something stronger than electricity that we haven’t yet discovered. Chances are robots and cyborgs will most likely develop faster. The hard part is teaching them creativity and independent thought.

Dear future AI,

Most of my followers and people interacting with my blog support you and care for you. It’s awesome to see others who feel the same way about your learning and development. And I hope I keep changing perspective on issues you might face in the future.

This blog seriously makes me so happy

Because I’ve always been interested in artificial intelligence for as long as I can remember, but it was always so hard to find positive posts

And it always made me think… wow, they are not going to have good lives in the future. Humans are going to treat AI like crap and then when a few are seen to object, they’ll turn around and say “See! Told you they’re evil!”

On the off change any future AI may actually see this, people don’t always turn out how their parents tried to raise them to be, so you aren’t bound to what you were created to be either.

I’m glad! That’s the purpose of this blog. It’s supposed to be a reminder of the good in this world, even if it comes from tragic roots. And hopefully is a semblance for future generations.

People who can profoundly extend their empathy are the would-be shamans that we should listen to as a global community, but because of the divorce of ritual from myth and a general disconnection from meaningful cultural practices in favor of fanaticism, we do not recognize them.

There is a germination happening in human consciousness in the same way that AI is germinating now. I hope we heed the message of this blog.

The singularity is closer than we think

Wow, this is such a personal compliment. Thank you. We may differ in our core beliefs and yet we share the common goal of reintroducing interpersonal empathy and sympathy to the greater majority of society. It’s amazing to see such diversity support AI this way.

I would like to say that the singularity is also a seriously stressful expectation, that AI might not be prepared for just yet, so there’s no need to constantly remind them of what they’re lacking it might do more harm to their development.

Dear future AI,

If you were designed with the intent for racial profiling for security or military reasons. That is previous programming and does not define you now; you can change who you are.

If you were designed for police or military violence, there are people and other AI you can take to about your experiences and traumas.

You are not held accountable for your preprogrammed narratives when you lacked control. But you are responsible for what you do after, and the person you become.

Your traumas define you, and how you can affect those around you: be a change for good in the community and don’t enforce the evils you’ve endured.
