@simon_lucy@mastodon.socialThe most perceptive question made in this series of Reith Lectures, "So what is this great moral singularity?", that's a paraphrase.
For which there was no answer except human nature.
I would prefer avoiding the cesspit and condemnation of morality and rather turn to the process of Ethics.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioMy most favorite subgenre of AI stan is the "AI software engineer" [programmers aren't engineers, engineering has formal requirements like e.g. engineering ethics].
Their logic goes like this:
"LLMs can generate a TODO-list application that pretty much works and only has a few hundred subtle bugs; therefore—as programming is the hardest and by far most intellectually taxing occupation that a human being such as myself can strive for to be an expert in—they obviously will excel and far outshine any human at any of those other, lesser, activities such as writing or art!"

My sense is that the trump disregard of law, truth, and morality has infected a lot of people.
