The Era of the Switch

This post was rejected for the following reason(s):

  • Difficult to evaluate, with potential yellow flags. We are sorry about this, but, unfortunately this content has some yellow-flags that historically have usually indicated kinda crackpot-esque material. It's totally plausible that actually this one is totally fine. Unfortunately, part of the trouble with separating valuable from confused speculative science or philosophy is that the ideas are quite complicated, accurately identifying whether they have flaws is very time intensive, and we don't have time to do that for every new user presenting a speculative theory or framing (which are usually wrong).

    Our solution for now is that we're rejecting this post, but you are welcome to submit posts or comments that are about different topics. If it seems like that goes well, we can re-evaluate the original post. But, we want to see that you're not just here to talk about this one thing (or a cluster of similar things).

  • Insufficient Quality for AI Content. There’ve been a lot of new users coming to LessWrong recently interested in AI. To keep the site’s quality high and ensure stuff posted is interesting to the site’s users, we’re currently only accepting posts that meet a pretty high bar. 

    If you want to try again, I recommend writing something short and to the point, focusing on your strongest argument, rather than a long, comprehensive essay. (This is fairly different from common academic norms.) We get lots of AI essays/papers every day and sadly most of them don't make very clear arguments, and we don't have time to review them all thoroughly. 

    We look for good reasoning, making a new and interesting point, bringing new evidence, and/or building upon prior discussion. If you were rejected for this reason, possibly a good thing to do is read more existing material. The AI Intro Material wiki-tag is a good place, for example.

The Philosophical / AI driven generational debates over alignment, noise, profits, inner-outer differentiation - all the diffused confusions available to study the real generational discussion around AI, allows us to focus one one thing:  "this 'time' as a generational switch the humanity can use or use again to sustain or destroy itself". 

 "Switch" and the era's  dilemma can be a proof for at-least one thing - there is something called "Alignment". Which is existentially undeniable - in human minds and in computing (because we have embedded AI into computers for now). The initial patches or first layers of Literature, which is serving as "The Knowledge" to "the Knower" is exquisitely interesting, while we serve the lenses with which the world has been fixated to be seen through (Software, hardware, Lite-ware, middleware etc.)

'Knowledge' and the 'Knower' - the eternal game that is being played to earn the respects, to be the most advanced 'Man', to behold the super intelligence in order to realize the true potential of technology and  unearth the marvels that could make us invincible civilization. 

However, the challenge is to be sure that 'the knowledge' is free of aligned maligning elements of 'the knower'. The battle to claim the generational "knowledge" is real and evidentially visible. The 'time' has come that the technology will walk free in all corners in the form of 'uninterpretable' knowledge and 'the knower's' path will decide if the 'knowledge' is worth claiming with or without the alignment in the near future. And thus, the phase becomes the 'SWITCH' and it has the potential to switch the course of the future of humanity, future of earth and the future of true free knowledge.
