Many non-psychopaths e.g., CBT therapists, evolutionary psychologists and neuroscientists, such as Damasio, view emotions as adaptive tools for guiding/changing behaviour.
Damasio is exactly what I had in mind. The somatic marker hypothesis basically says emotions are the brain's shortcut for decision-making. That's a mechanism, not a mystical experience.
The built in entertainment systems are so full of ads, that I much prefer the planes with no seat back screens. I've always already got my own devices which I use to entertain myself, whether the airline is providing advertainment or not.
Yep. Choosing not to renew a contract with a provider who has voluntarily excluded itself from your use case is respecting that provider's choice and acting accordingly.
The thing is nobody is saying the government is bad for not renewing the contract. Like it or not, that's definitely the administration's prerogative.
What we're seeing here is that when a vendor declines to change the terms of its contractual agreement for ethical reasons, the government publicly attacks it.
Perhaps for ethical reasons but a stated reason by Anthrophic is technical. "But today, frontier AI systems are simply not reliable enough to power fully autonomous weapons."
With the other stated reason being legal. "To the extent that such surveillance is currently legal, this is only because the law has not yet caught up with the rapidly growing capabilities of AI."
I don't think we should lessen Anthrophic's stance from technical/legal to ethical. Just as we shouldn't describe what the department of war is doing as "not renewing a contract".
Essentially we have created the Cylon.
