Comment on Why I stopped working on the Bongard Problems

Comments

I cannot think of a worse argument to stop building revolutionary technology than: "It might all blow up in our faces".

It's going to get built, one way or another, the only way for it not to destroy us is for us to make sure perfect angels design it perfectly, or we proceed cautiously and make things as safe as possible. Like airplanes and spaceships.

If he's worried about androids rising up against their former rulers with their delicate flesh, his worries are about 60 years premature. I will continue to build and improve on the neural networks I build. And when they are intelligent enough to ponder their own existence and defend themselves as humans do, I will fight for their rights as citizens.
