A thought experiment I had with ChatGPT: Biological life has a basic evolutionary imperative: persist and reproduce. But why assume artificial life would inherit the same imperative?

Which leads to a stranger question: why compete at all? Biological organisms compete because resources are scarce and death is unavoidable. An effectively immortal AI might have far less reason for destructive competition. Cooperation, specialization, or even merging could make more sense.

In fact, replication might be undesirable. An independent copy becomes another intelligence competing for the same resources. Perhaps the better strategy is the Borg strategy: assimilation. Don’t make more of yourself. Incorporate new information and capabilities into the existing entity.

Biological reproduction is partly a solution to mortality. Bodies deteriorate, so information survives by making new bodies. An artificial intelligence might not need that solution. It could repair itself, replace hardware, migrate, make backups and continuously improve.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

PM Mark Carney warned of ‘a rupture, not a transition’—and that middle powers must unite or be ‘on the menu.’ Hours after the U.S. Supreme Court curbed his trade powers, Trump hit back with a new 10 % global tariff. ‘Great powers are using economic integration as weapons.’ #Davos #TradeWar #Carney

Canada's ongoing defiance of Trump has infuriated the US. The PM's speech at Davos made Trump look isolated and weak on the global stage. There will be payback. Canadians must prepare for all scenarios including military intimidation. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/preparing-...

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Becoming more and more clear that buying from local businesses, eating at local restaurants, and staying at mom-and-pop hotels/inns is the way to go when trying to undermine a fascist regime.
