Is this the equivalent to the humans nuking the sky to fight the robots in the Matrix? I don't think that worked.

Do you keep a copy of the Matrix running on a second monitor at work to aid with decisionmaking

[righthand]

I don’t think our basis for what works and what doesn’t should stem from fiction.

Especially since even in fiction, that entire backstory had clearly been manipulated/outright made up by the clank.. uh. Machines.

I wonder about the possibility that AI “clankers” and slop are being weaponised to attack the open internet to push human “data generators” into walled gardens where they can be properly farmed?

I mean, from an incentive and capability matrix, it seems probable if not inevitable.

[cschep]

to the replies that we shouldn't use fiction to aid decision making -- yes of course! how rational. how reasonable.

.. but perhaps can we access deep wisdom by paying attention the recurring themes of myths?

.. and perhaps does "The Matrix" access any of these themes?

(yes and yes!)
