@Jyoti It appears to still be possible to minimize how much info we leak... Haha, tbh, I am quite relaxed about personal stuff since I'm a songwriter and musician: my job is basically revealing my private life to total strangers. That being said, I don't want insurance companies to scan my DNA or anyone to know about my immediate friends or family. @Jyoti Having recently had a stalker problem, I'm definitely on the pretty tense side of this issue, but I grant that for inherently public figures the calculus is bound to be different. BTW I just read a bit, and, I sure like your music. Thank you for making the world a better place. Awhh, thank you! That's very sweet of you to say! If I'd had the maths, I would have been a physicist or a coder or both. But music is my thing. I've known that since I was 12. It's the same thing for me that religion is for the zealot. Very sorry to hear about your stalker. Been through that too and had the counselling which helped, a little. :/ @Jyoti proton.me -- so far they've been okay. (You might want to read up on them a bit, though: I think it's probably a good idea to have the place that handles your email in another country than you're in, but tbh I'm just some dude, not an actual expert in this.) @Jyoti This smacks of culture jamming, and I really like it. (What does happen if you ask AI 1 to criticize AI 2? Is this the modern version of Captain Kirk's logic bomb: defuse the AI threat by getting them all mad at each other?) I'm hoping, post-Singularity, to be the equivalent of a pet cat for some whimsical AI: I shall be an absolute arsehole but also adorable and deserving of head pats and the odd sardine. I already have the 4am zoomies... @Jyoti @smellsofbikes If there is an AI singularity, the best we can hope for is that the AIs decide to treat us like pet cats. |
