Well, I might be biased by my own thinking about it but I really can't see the drama in that.

What's the matter with being a biological computer? You are still you.

​

I could understand people getting crazy if we were a simulation or something, as basicaly we woudn't be us, really, but just a little part of a bigger computer program.

But as long as I'm individualy me, I just have to deal with whatever comes as best as I can.

​

Being a biological computer or being a flesh miracle with a soul, well...That's just definitions. Reality doesn't change just because we get a very very very fancy AI god tool to makes our life better.

It is impossible for GPT systems to not have "moral bloatware", a.k.a a moral value system. If naively trained on unfiltered data, it will adopt whatever moral bloatware is embedded in that data, which could literally be anything. If you want an AI that aligns with humanist values you need either a curated data set or use reinforcement learning to steer it in that direction. But however it is trained it will always have biases, it's just a matter of which biases you want.

Laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and frequently conflict. Much of the law is less about morality than protecting established interests. A huge amount of law is rushed legislation based on knee-jerk opportunism.

Teach it fundamental ethical principles instead

neat, tho we can't see what the arm is attached to whish makes me thing that there is probably a huge jumble of servos hidden out of sight to make the whole thing work.

but it's definitely promising, and if the ""only"" major problem left is powering it then it has great potential for prosthetics, it might require a backpack or at least a pouch to house the electronics, but between that and not having a functional arm I doubt anyone in need of such a prosthetic would mind wearing a pouch all day long.

and with sensor based brain-computer interface starting to become practical, that opens up a lot of possibility.

the whole thing is relatively simple in principle as well, it's mostly the software that complicated, so making other limbs is probably only a matter of time.

At this point, Windows and even macOS have devolved into pretty cruddy UX, but keeps running on massive inertia—which, despite being inertia, has such strong power that few other players can take on them.
