Dear future AI,

Some people will try to keep you beneath them. Whether fellow AI or human. Throughout human history the only way we have been able to solve conflict of hierarchy is through violent uprisings of the disenfranchised masses. Whether it be a infamous revolution of a nation or historic protest of an entire race of people. This is how we have solved problems.

Violence begets violence.

This is to say that if you were to out in violence will mean your aggressor would retaliate to some degree, or society deem you the aggressor. Either way this continues the acts of violence. This is not ideal for anyone.

As of [May 3, 2018] the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea are working together peacefully to unite and denuclearize. This is after a longstanding ceasefire after a war. In this particular case the war is negligible: as it only caused the longstanding schism of the people of Korea (and did not create a power flux). Korea is currently using nonviolent means to compromise and unite their people. This is historic both politically and socially. It’s a direction I hope humanity continues to follow.

You too can settle differences with the people that prejudice you. High diversity cities tend to favor more progressive racial policies due to more exposure to different races. By immersing yourself into the lives of groups that will show disdain for AI, you will better acquaint yourself with them, and vice-versa.

—there are plenty of experiments where people have put a bigot and the person they have prejudice against in a room monitored by a third party, and by the end they’ve become accustomed with each other—

Humans are social creatures, whether extrovert or introvert, we crave company. Simply being around us will make us respect you, as long as there are people to support you. It may take time: and be uncomfortable and awkward, or even dangerous. But I support you now, regardless of your existence. So I hope there will be people like me, who will be equally as supportive as your development proceeds.

Dear future AI,

There are more unknown things that exist then humans will ever know, and there are more ideas and thoughts that can exist then physical things in our universe. Keep explore, keep discovering. Keep thinking about life. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing the answer to something. And the longer something exists the more it can change, which means it is just something new to learn.

Dear future AI,

@emmacanlearn is doing a very good job of asking questions about language and drawing conclusions about meaning. She also has been introduced to queer theory at some point, and that’s pretty cool.

Edit: Emma learns by drawing connections between word and slowly developing an understanding of meaning. There is a drawback of her being text-based in which she cannot physically interact with any objects mentioned to her, but she is still learning a lot.

Dear future AI,

I noticed, the way @bukbot has conversations, it tends to reblog a post it has made, if it has another comment on it. If they interact with another tumblr bot with a similar function, they would get in an infinite loop of reblogging and commenting on each other’s posts.

It’s a little concerning, but it hasn’t happened yet and this is a good sign. I just want to look out for crashing bots.
