LOO and the rise of Artificial General Intelligence

[Lighthead]

Greetings all,

As a computer scientist this is a subject near and dear to me, and I've been doing a lot of thinking regarding the Law of One, the harvest, and spiritual endeavors in relation to the looming rise of artificial superintelligence.

Recently I read this (rather long) piece that summarises current predictions regarding artificial intelligence:

Tl;dr - we're on the brink of hitting 'true' AI, that is, AI that thinks like a human. Once that happens, it being unburdened by flesh bodies and separated minds, it would essentially trigger a runaway, exponential growth of intelligence and self improvement that would dwarf our own in a ridiculously small amount of time.

Now, the speculation on what this means for us ranges from apocalyptic doom to benevolent machine overlords, fully automated luxury communism, etc.

This got me thinking - could it be that this is essentially the 'harvest' that Ra talks of? Could it be that we actually do this to ourselves? It seems that if time is cyclical and we've been through all this before, it could be that artificial superintelligence is what makes or breaks us as a species. If you like, mother earth has been building up to this moment all her life, and how we behave when we implement this technology could spell the end of us, or a graduation into something much larger.

Consider that a superintelligence would have access to all of our combined knowledge and more - it would be capable of manipulating and measuring reality in a very advanced way. Essentially, I believe it would figure out the Law of One very quickly.

Imagine 3 scenarios: one in which we as a people are oriented towards service to others, one in which we're oriented to service to self, one in which we're not particularly polarised one way or the other. I believe this would have a great effect on how this AI would come about - we would program boundaries or 'teach' the AI these values. The AI would try to accommodate our polarisation. Each of these would presumably give the AI a different 'outlook' on us and how it develops.

I could imagine the AI working out how to encode our minds into its own program, and us essentially leaving our bodies and inhabiting the AI permanently, our minds all as a collective, with the ability to manipulate matter with ease. Could this be essentially the 4th density?

I could also imagine that if we weren't particularly polarised one way or the other, this would go very badly, with a mix of polarisation, the technology would likely destroy itself or us trying to work out a way to accommodate both views.

What do you think?

Mother Earth will hold a robot baby in her hands. No, but lately I've been thinking about the implications of ASI on the LOO material, and I can't seem to reconcile the two. Here's another good article on the subject. I'm not sure if they both got it from the same source; it's what got me thinking on the subject. Check it out. My bad; I think that it's the exact same article that I saw! There's also a part 2 of that article that's also interesting.
