181811, Technology - The Next Political frontier
Posted by imcvspl, Mon Jun-09-14 10:48 AM
Talking here about, post-human, transhuman, AI, singularity, etc....

There's this tendency to think of technology as being outside of all the social functions, and I mean this ike we think of nature. It sort of just happens. Technology advances and society is expected to just adjust.

And yet there's a ton of socio-political implications just in th edirections of AI, and in that sense I'm realizing the influx of silicon valley writers is almost creating a new political agenda.

The singularity I think is an interesting one. Pretty much any singluarity story at this point is pure speculation by definition. but I think the ways forlk are writing about it is interesting.

Who will own the technology, government or hackers. What dangers do they present in either case.

All of this stuff is very relevent to the mapmaking of the actual future.

Rambling... I'll be back.
