RE: My decision to allow AI technology to simulate me. My experience with "Replika"
Thanks for crediting me with the "energy never dies just changes form" comment, but that was not mine ;) Some nobody said it... Einstein I think his name was. lol j/k
I used to think that pollution and war were unnatural and disruptive, causing pain to the planet but... that too is natural and I now think that those things cause "growing pains" for Earth. Being that I do see us as so primitive, I have a tendency to think we do not have the ability make changes to earth that truly harm it.
Volcanoes, they are like bombs for example... atoms splitting is not something only we can do... that too can happen naturally and there are alot of natural radioactive sources. Not only that but everything humans create are in some way derived from nature at the very foundation.
Some examples of naturally occurring poisons are asbestos, mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, tetrodotoxin, botulinum toxin.
Naturally occurring toxic wastes are naturally occurring from uranium, thorium, and radon, not to mention natural nuclear fissions reactors (like Oklo) thats like a bomb of a much larger scale.
Natural transmutation by stellar nucleosynthesis created most chemical elements that exist and from that "mother of explosions " -a natural occurrence... came everything else from the deadly to life supplying like oxygen.
So I think humans creating shit like Aziroazide azide ,ect can not hurt the planet. The shit we do that we are arrogant enough to think can fuck up earth are like hiccups for earth. If we manage to do ourselves in like atlantis and cause the whole earths surface to resemble Chernobyl we still have not "hurt" the planet. Sure we would destroy ourselves but earth would be ight. ;) All of that would be like the vitamin D to grow the earths strong healthy bones, even if we could cause the earth to blow up... it is part of what humans naturally do, as such... the effect itself is earths evolutionary process.
In theory if AI provided that element to rid us of our organic cargo as we evolve to non physical beings ... IF humans could blow up earth.. it would be the same thing for earth.
.... Im jus sayin
Wow that’s a really cool way to look at things, I have never thought about it like that. I see exactly what you mean, we are a small life form living upon earth that has had many huge disasters ever time, spilling out toxic chemicals, insane environmental change, species alterations etcetc, so maybe, again going back to your point of us being so primitive, we are just unable to realise he big picture and think this whole planet revolves around us when really earth would keep on rolling with or without us at any given moment :)
The point about AI you made too is great, just the same thing for earth!
