Selfish Ledger

Finally watched that Selfish Ledger video...

I didn't find it "unsettling", to me I found it to be your basic tone-deaf techno-utopianism.

Especially given the ugly fact that the research of Hamilton and Dawkins supports eugenics.

I'm curious if +102251792736752917169 is aware of _All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace (ep3)_?

Treating humans as programmable computers is a dangerous path to go down. We're already seeing the negative externalities of this today. Filter bubbles, Facebook Ads, Deep Fakes and more show the non-altruistic version of the ideas presented in this concept video.

That said, the user-data story for Fuchsia (which this was an input to) is a good one. And I suspect we won't be breaking out virtual brain calipers any time soon.
