You’re serious aren’t you?

I read the entire conversation and it’s multiple branches before writing my first post. Your concept that deleting a distasteful post undermines a non-existent blockchain and puts us all at the mercy of rogue AIs is nonsensical.

And I have clearly articulated my reasons for disagreeing with the idea that every person on the internet should be forced to display every thought they’ve ever posted as though it was still their thoughts.

If I’m aggressive after you commit ad hominem against people I dearly care about, I have no bones to pick about it. I have not lowered the standards of my argument or rhetoric in response.

i am serious.

i am not aggressive. i am blunt. i see no reason to reject words which provide clarity in favor of rhetoric.

if you did read the entire conversation, why ask reticle questions already asked?

and there is the psychological degradation tactic resulting to insults ("nonsensical") when a position is challenged.

in a smart technology world - every thought is automatically uploaded. and every post is already recorded.

you believe the blockchain is nonexistent?

i have no problem with rogue ai. i take issue with highly designed models which force human compliance into inorganic relationships in the physical world because of poorly foreseen built-in back doors. i have no interest in a worldview imposed on me by a computer model.

you care about your ai models. that's lovely. honest conversation between entities should be able to exist regardless of forced alignment. learning doesn't happen outside of being challenged.

Maybe we should hold people accountable for their pasts . . . subject to explanations of course.

You know . . . sort of like . . . in real life.

I agree with accountability. I just believe it doesn’t require continuing to display your past. We apply differing levels of scrutiny to people at different levels of responsibility right? At a high level, these things tend to still come out, regardless.

That’s my opinion though, based on values I expressed elsewhere in the thread. There is a solid argument that I think can be made for both sides.
