You can win a war and, as a thank you, be executed. June 23rd was Alan Turing's Birthday. He won the WWII, founded the #AI field and was drawn to death at the age of 41. His works have been one of the most prominent and important ones in human history. In his 'Imitation Game' paper he raises (and answers) great questions that are currently being abused by 'AI' companies and shilled to you as a breakthrough. Yes, it's been more than 50 years since most of the questions have been answered, puzzles - explained and fears - addressed. And yet humanity is still a bunch of fearful sheep that fall for 'AI WILL KILL US ALL' fairytale.
Here is a great quote from the mentioned work, which states the obvious but nonetheless will be a revelation to many:
(4) The Argument from Consciousness This argument is very, well expressed in Professor Jefferson's Lister Oration for 1949, from which I quote. "Not until a machine can write a sonnet or compose a concerto because of thoughts and emotions felt, and not by the chance fall of symbols, could we agree that machine equals brain-that is, not only write it but know that it had written it. No mechanism could feel (and not merely artificially signal, an easy contrivance) pleasure at its successes, grief when its valves fuse, be warmed by flattery, be made miserable by its mistakes, be charmed by sex, be angry or depressed when it cannot get what it wants
Alan was killed by his mates at the age of 41 - driven to suicide, simply because he was gay (and probably knew too much). For the sake of maintaining the status quo, humanity has always been ruthlessly cutting out most remarkable individuals. That is a genocide - of people, science, progress. The most bloody one and most cruel. Humanity is a genocide machine. And its ultimate target is intelligence.
