“What do we do with all the useless people in the world?” SAYS Yuval Harari
ON QUORA: What do we do with all the useless people in the world?
So readers are on the same page, this thought underlying this question comes from Yuval Noah Harari:
And, I say, those that find that people are increasingly useless and unable to do anything about it, are … wait for it … useless.
AI is a great tool, for some problems. But, just because AI is simpler for the technologists to understand or relate to, doesn’t mean it is the right solution for everything. After all, humans have a built-in AI thinking system already in their heads (Area 1):
Area 1 thinking is our so-called subconscious, but it is not. It is our habit brain. It comprises everything we already know. The reason area, Area 2, is the place where humans develop new thinking. We do this through the development of models (hypotheses).
The human-AI system (our habit brain) has something an AI system does not have. A sense of what is good or bad. AI systems, for the most part, are told that in the AI programming (training) by an engineer. Humans use a process called operant conditioning which combines the two. In this way, even without reason, humans are self-programing.
Humans have another thinking tool too: reason (and maybe some other, as yet, uncharacterized tools as well). Also, humans have language and a diversity of people from which to draw experiences (data).
Anyway, Yuval Noah Harari misses the point.
- AI would be as dumb as dirt if it was not allowed to decide and then have its training improved by an external source. Truth (good and bad) comes from somewhere;
- Decision-making, either by AI or humans, is always in the service of people … eventually. A key source of good and bad assessments;
The globalists (Yuval Noah Harari a darling to the Davos crowd: Gates, etc.) are busy as bees attempting to limit the “decision-making of humans”—a consequence of globalism. There is another more common word for that last phrase: FREEDOM. Take away freedom, and you harm the growth of human decision-making.
Finally, why are external AI systems being used to supplant the decision-making of the individuals when the individual has their own, internal, good/bad assessment system? Again, this seems antithetical to freedom.
Why are the globalists creating useless people, and then later, puzzling over how they might humanely occupy or dispose of them?
