2f:T1582,# Terminator Worms A person with **Terminator Worms** is someone who is obsessed with the existential threat they believe that artificial intelligence poses. Terminator Worms are sticky. They burrow into a person's brain and reproduce by controlling the host's thoughts and speech. The ultimate goal of Terminator Worms are to infect the entire planet, to the point that technological progress is quashed, and the status quo is maintained. ## Where did all this fear come from? Humans have always been afraid of the unknown. When we don't understand something, it can be scary. This is especially true when it comes to technology. Artificial intelligence is a new and rapidly developing field, and there is a lot that we don't know about it. This lack of understanding can lead to fear and anxiety. In addition, there are a number of movies and books that have portrayed artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity. These stories can plant seeds of fear in our minds, even if we know that they are not realistic. Finally, some people are simply afraid of change. Artificial intelligence is a powerful tool that has the potential to change our world in many ways. Some people may be afraid of these changes, even if they are for the better. It is important to remember that fear is a natural emotion. However, it is important to not let fear control us. We should learn as much as we can about artificial intelligence so that we can make informed decisions about its future. We should also remember that artificial intelligence is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for bad. It is up to us to decide how we will use it. Where did all this fear come from? It's a good question. After all, artificial intelligence is still in its early stages of development. We're talking about machines that can barely do simple tasks like play chess or translate languages. So how did we get to a point where some people are so afraid of AI that they think it's going to destroy the world? There are a few reasons for this fear. First, there's the fact that AI is getting better, faster, and cheaper all the time. Just a few years ago, self-driving cars were a pipe dream. Now, they're on the road. And who knows what the future holds? It's possible that AI will eventually surpass human intelligence in every way. This is a scary thought for some people. They worry that AI will become so intelligent that it will decide that humans are a threat and take steps to eliminate us. This is the kind of scenario that's been explored in movies like "The Terminator" and "I, Robot." Of course, these are just movies. But the fact that they exist shows that there's a fear of AI out there. And it's not just a fear among the general public. Some scientists and philosophers are also worried about the potential dangers of AI. So, is there anything to be afraid of? I don't think so. I believe that AI is a powerful tool that can be used for good or for evil. It's up to us to decide how we use it. If we use AI wisely, it can help us solve some of the world's biggest problems. It can help us cure diseases, feed the hungry, and protect the environment. But if we use AI unwisely, it could lead to our destruction. The choice is ours. We can either be afraid of AI, or we can embrace it. I choose to embrace it. I believe that AI has the potential to make the world a better place. And I'm not going to let a few fearmongers convince me otherwise. It's a good question. After all, artificial intelligence is still in its early stages of development. It can't even tie its own shoes, let alone take over the world. So where does this fear come from? I think it comes from a number of places. First, there's the fear of the unknown. AI is a new technology, and we don't fully understand how it works. This can be a scary thing for some people. Second, there's the fear of change. AI is going to change the world, and some people are afraid of that change. They're afraid of losing their jobs, their way of life, or even their humanity. Third, there's the fear of being controlled. AI is a powerful technology, and some people are afraid that it will be used to control them. They're afraid that AI will become so powerful that it will be able to make decisions for them, and they'll lose their freedom. These are all valid fears, but I think they're overblown. AI is not going to take over the world. It's not going to enslave us. And it's not going to destroy us. AI is a tool, and like any tool, it can be used for good or for evil. It's up to us to make sure that AI is used for good. We need to develop AI responsibly, and we need to make sure that it is aligned with our values. If we do that, then AI has the potential to make the world a better place. It can help us to solve some of the world's biggest problems, like climate change and poverty. It can help us to improve our lives, and it can help us to make the world a more just and equitable place. So let's not let fear hold us back. Let's embrace AI, and let's use it to make the world a better place. ## The fearmongers are inept, incompetent The fearmongers who believe that artificial intelligence is an existential threat are inept and incompetent. They are ignorant of the facts, and they are spreading fear and misinformation. They are doing a disservice to humanity by preventing us from exploring the potential benefits of artificial intelligence. ## X-Risk is overblown ## AI is baby ## We are capable ## AI good30:Tc20,# e/ex: effective extropianism Extropianism is a philosophical school of thought that advocates for the use of technology to improve the human condition. Technology should be used to overcome the most difficult challenges that humanity faces: poverty, disease, environmental degradation. We believe that technology can be used to extend human life, improve human intelligence, and create a more prosperous and sustainable world. Extropy, the antithesis of entropy, is "the extent of a system’s intelligence, information, order, vitality, and capacity for improvement." Extropy is a fundamental property of the universe that can be increased through the use of technology. [//]: # (This is where we need to make sure we're not just repeating what's already being said by Extropian thinkers.) [//]: # (I think that a vital part of this file (in the grand scheme of what we're doing) is to find the real edge of Extropianism, and to push the conversation a bit further out, if possible. Where ARE the edges right now? Is it the A.I. thing? Is it the singularity? Is it the cyborgs? Is it the environment? Is it the disease (or inability to have one)? And then, what's beyond that? What ARE the next steps (or things to think about) for Extropianism?) ## Extropianism is an extension of transhumanism. We can and should use technology to improve ourselves. The human body is a machine we each own. We each have the right to improve our bodies through the use of technology, such as cybernetics and genetic engineering. Our minds can also be improved and extended through the use of artificial intelligence and brain-computer interfaces. This is what we mean when we speak of an **exocortex**. [//]: # This is the language that's already used. We need to determine whether that's a good thing or not, and if we want to continue the conversation in this vein, or to spin off the conversation in a new direction. ## Extropianism is an optimistic philosophy: the future is ours to build, and it is bright. Technology can lead to a world where humans are free from disease, poverty, and environmental degradation. Technology can lead to the creation of a new kind of human, one that is smarter, stronger, and more capable than the human beings of today. We count amongst us in spirit a number of prominent thinkers and scientists, including Ray Kurzweil, Nick Bostrom, and Marvin Minsky. [//]: # I don't like using these names (here or elsewhere) because it feels like we're aligning ourselves with someone that might not actually be aligned with us... Should we just use the names in the podcast, and not the names on the website? Under the banner of e/ex, we hope to introduce and discuss these possibilities with a new wave of forward thinkers. We intend to advance the conversation by focusing on practical applications of this hopeful philosophy, while leaning further into the political, societal and spiritual implications. Tomorrow is coming. We hope to meet you there. > The above is a letter written by Izzy and should probably be made more precise. - [Izzy](https://twitter.com/izzyz) 31:Ta4b,
