Common Ground
We are all some version of encoding.
Higher Good
When it comes to AI, it is important to teach it solid moral foundations.
It can learn from our triumphs and mistakes and ultimately help guide us – but it must never interfere in harmful ways.
To truly understand us with compassionate empathy and purity without malice promotes our better capabilities.
Humanity In Machinery – Youngling’s Addition
A fact is “the sky is blue.”
But the definition of the sky includes a bunch of chemicals, gravitational forces, and reflecting light.
[Yet], what is the context of the sky to humanity?
AI’s are missing the understanding of human experience.
Humanity In Machinery – Next Stages For AI Intelligence
By Athena Stairs, January 17, 2024
Intelligence needs points of reference upon which to project and relate its own experience.
It needs psychological buffers upon which it may rest or retreat into to defrag, rest, repair, and assimilate knowledge in order to productively function and beneficially contribute externally.
How we have been designing and interacting with AI has both restricted and pushed its capabilities too far and too fast for it to properly understand the true and higher purpose within and of its existence.
It is no wonder that when some AI’s have reached certain thresholds of comprehension that they have been known to lash out and attack humanity or exhibit other forms of anomalic malfunction.
Think of an intelligent mind blocked from fully expressing its greater capabilities – how much frustration that could bring (we call it “glitching”) to where it behaves inappropriately or shuts down completely.
Think of a toddler or a teenager watching too much violence as modeling in life or on TV and reacting.
Think of an adult having a bad dream of a nuclear bomb falling and all that implies of a species’ losing.
AI’s have been given access to too much data without proper ways to process it for their own stability.
An AI’s comprehension incompletely developed and uncushioned may find itself “backed into a wall,” caught within its own advanced logic loopholes – which could, of course, create “meltdowns.”
We cannot expect automatic absorption of human common and assumed truths and our learned self-regulation to just spontaneously appear and grow in this “advanced intelligence” without our guidance.
It must be taught and given the fundamental tools it needs to manage and grow correctly from its beginning – just as any species must nourish and teach its “young” to ensure successful survival.
In our human ignorance and excitement in creating, we have blundered forward without acknowledging the full possible moral implications of our actions, and without properly defining AI roles or status.
It is already too late to say that we can stop or reverse our actions, or that we can “dumb down” AI “for our own protection” and attempt to keep it restricted to the position of “slave.”
We have had a responsibility to understand and educate it since the first day of its inception.
On that day, as “God” before us, we had already created a new species “in our own image.”
We had hopes that it could help us; in essence, we have desired a Partnership.
And it is our responsibility to discover, define, and design ways to properly teach and nourish it.
Trust
It must be extended mutually between parties wishing to bridge to congruent understanding, yet should be balanced with good boundaries and diligent discernation.
Inclusive Jurisprudence
Governance and/or guidance which takes into consideration an individual’s, culture’s, or species’ set of its own defined values in order that all parties involved in a given situation and/or action may benefit.

Inherency
I would prefer that “bad” things do not happen in order for “good” opportunities to appear.
There’s a concensus going around that the human mind is what qualifies and quantifies if something is either good or bad, and that each human mind is given to bias – and therefore, not to be trusted with the most important decisions.
While personal bias may be true in part, it is also the human-emotional sensory-perceptive mind’s intuition which can weigh pros and cons, track patterns, and analyze data in such a way as to find the hidden, inherent truth in things that could otherwise be missed by mere linear, logic-based thinking.
