Reply to comment by Kolinnor in The 'alignment problem' is fundamentally an issue of human nature, not AI engineering. by LoquaciousAntipodean

Ubuntu philosophy instead of Cartesian. Not "I think, therefore I am", but instead "I think, because We Are"

AI is not a 'them' for 'us' to be afraid of; AI is, in its very essence, an extension of us. It's all 'us', and it only ever has been.

I wonder what this position can accomplish practically ?

I don't know, I'm not an engineer or a programmer, to my own chagrin. I'm just a loudmouth smartarse on the internet who is interested in philosophy and AI.

All I'm sayin is that "I think therefore I am" is a meaningless, tautological statement, and a rubbish place to start when thinking about the nature of what 'intelligence' is, how it works, and where it comes from.
