Ya what is that it’s kind of annoying. The cycles go way back potentially hundreds of thousands of years if you subscribe to non-mainstream archaeologies. I wonder if it’s related to a utility intelligence topology distributed across the human agents where now the cycle unfolds into a new structure due to on-demand AI at everyone’s fingertips. Now may be a unique time in history to change it being up to us to protect countless future civilizations from the Shenaniganizers… if we can get our act together. Often software system problems boil down to something simple. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Te0af3a0c35a03987-M0130240c3d6d0418e5800b5e Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
