Hi to you,
thanks for giving content on this topic. I will focus on only one critical point and am curious what you might answer.
Tau Net will enable efficient discussions between billions of people and accelerate personal and scientific discoveries.
I have doubts about these premises.
It is not possible to discuss with "billions of people. I can only discuss with one person at a time. So if there is a "discussion" (what exactly is that supposed to be, a debate, an argument, a conversation?) between "billions of people", then these billions are not talking to each other because one person cannot possibly do that. As a publicist, you can have an "audience of millions" reading something of yours. But not one person can talk to all of them.
Why should it be desirable for personal and scientific discoveries to be "accelerated" if the human organism does not also experience this acceleration at the same time? And with it, all life forms on this planet, as man is embedded into all other life on earth.
To make it a little absurd, one would have to "live faster", i.e.: experience each stage of development in individual existence in an accelerated way.
Modern civilised man, however, needs more time, not less, to grow from a child into an adult. In tribal societies, people became adults at the end of puberty.
Today, individuals need much longer to develop because of the complexity of the technology that surrounds them and the social changes that come with it. That implies that the individual actually needs not less but more time to mature and grasp his world.
In other words, humans as organic beings have developed in the course of their evolution to become sexually mature at an early age and to reach a life span of several decades. One is not oriented towards acceleration in his relationship with technology. Since technology is always faster than man himself and it can be stated that the speed at which technical innovation in the field of computer technology makes communication between generations increasingly difficult, the individual is not helped even if, for example, parents and their children - who today grow up in completely different worlds that differ from each other in terms of technology - wanted to create communication by means of an AI representative.
"Understanding" is not to be understood as purely verbal or textual or linguistic communication, but embedded in a temporal process of experience and maturation between organic beings that requires certain periods of time. One cannot replace "time".
Acceleration makes generational conflicts bigger, not smaller, is how I see it. Maybe I am wrong, I don't know for sure.
Only when people do not treat each other as natural persons, but as something else, does the use of AI seem necessary. It can be, if one as an individual has to deal with contracts and terms of use regarding the technology, which, because it is complicated, cannot be understood by oneself nor grasped in its fullness, help the individual to conclude contracts, for example. To counteract intended laws and long texts, for another example. But no matter how you turn it the individual needs to unterstand nevertheless what he deals with and cannot circumvent educating himself. If in communication with AI the individual needs to learn to ask intelligent questions. If AI can help man in doing so, I am not against that. In fact, I have chatted with an AI und became aware that my questions are very important and also critical thinking.
It takes a lot of time though to chat with an AI.
So what I do not perceive as "going for" is acceleration as something overall positive.
Any thoughts in response?
