Hmm. An AI trained to maximize dopamine could be a very bad thing. (It won't be stated that way. It will be trained to "maximize engagement", but it amounts to the same thing.)

Spelled "profitable". This is definitely something that's already happened/happening; see algorithmic timelines and the widespread sudden legalization and acceptance of gambling.


Our brains have been under attack for years. Zuckerberg, Dorsey, and company have already spent decades and billions doing just that. With capabilities already in the AI realm.


Still can’t decide how terrified should I be that somehow zuck is the good guy in the AI wars.


No clue what would give you that idea.

You don’t need AI for that, “old fashioned” ML has been doing it for a decade.
