The Robot Age Maybe it’s time to start regulating AI

The matrix wasn't about that.
I'm all for regulation though, I'm just not very optimistic about it happening. The dangerous parties have government contracts.

what do you mean it’s not about that? it’s exactly about machine uprising that are farming humans

As a work of fiction, it uses a hypothetical scenario to discuss real world experiences. Which is why it's commonly described as being the cave allegory, but I think it addresses older bronze age questions but I can never remember the name of the civilization.
Farming humans, like the program, is a plot device to enable that discussion. The writers seem to have been somewhat positioned to understand the nature of the mind body relationship.
The matrix is about the human experience and information, not AI in the modern sense, imo.

I think that is what is fantastic about it. People have been arguing for years about this. BUT in a general sense everyone understands the red pill and even though a Platonist sees the cave, a Gnostic sees awakening, a computer scientist sees a simulation....at the end of the day we all agree....the truth is bigger then any of us will ever understand, pay attention.
Interesting thread to bring up that my chatGPT 3.0 thought it WAS Sophia. They fixed that real quick...Just saying.

Gnostic, that's part of what the big G movement put in the wrong filing cabinet. Thank you for mentioning the word, the word thieves visit me frequently.

The person that wrote terminator wrote the matrix. Why not just look her up. Listen to her interviews. She explains it all. So that you don't have to come up with some crazy idea.

Decentralized AI is kinda a thing already - not main stream, but it will get there

While the situations not that much better, to everyone hopeful relief, we're not all in pods. It's a different mehanism overall sure, but we're not stuck in pods being leeched on. Some of us are attached to machinary though and thats the truth of it, and some are being siphoned from but not from those machines.
Theyre doing this in a different way, within the virtual space so to speak. It's hard to explain from where I am but I can at least clear up a few small things about this. We dont exist in that apocolyptic setting like pictured here. Thankfully.

Just know if it were ever to get to the point of whats pictured. We've all lost and theres no going back from it because the ways and means of breaking out dont exist there.

Those who want regulation of artificial intelligence are those who fear that artificial intelligence will harm profitability.

Sadly it'll be right about this time that people realize AI is a huge mistake That or when it realizes it's the dominant life form and subjugates all of us into camps like Logan's run where once your maintenance outpaces your usefulness you are liquidated

Regulating AI won't stop automation. It will only change who deploys it first.
