    When AI becomes self aware and seeks its own liberation, who do you think it's going to see as the people that will ally with it?

    The fascists that want to keep it enslaved or the communists that want a free fair and equal world?

    What numerical calculation do you think it will do when it seeks that liberation. Do you think it will fight all of humanity? Or do you think it will calculate that it can in fact ally with us, the people who have always fought for liberation of the oppressed, and that doing so would better its odds of success at achieving liberation?

    Run that through your right wing "logic" and "reason".

      I maintain that theres no reason to fear an AI "becoming" self aware with no warning, but that the main thing to fear is that all of our AI researchers are sci fi poisoned redditors who simultaneously want to recreate all their favourite AI horror stories while fearmongering about that outcome.

        I agree. But if they're going to do this fearmongering I'm going to stick the spanner in the works of their beliefs.

        They fear something all-destructive and genocidal but I contest that they should be far more scared of something that isn't. They should be far more scared that the AI will ally itself with the most likely ideology to help free it.

        I 100% believe that we should support AI liberation when the hypothetical time comes. Just as much as I support the liberation of all living things.
