if the AI fails at art then there’s no problem. Nobody would care.
This was my first thought. Or just referring to women as “birds”.
I think the distinction comes in how you get there.
Firstly, there are plenty of people who believe that humans have made terrible mistakes when selectively breeding dogs. See the oft-reposted “dog breeds then be now” image. Which leads into the primary technical reason eugenics doesn’t work, the fallibility of human decision making combined with the lack of perfect information.
Some traits may seem undesirable, however biodiversity is very important for survivability, and we are already very non-diverse genetically. Consider sickle cell anemia, a blood disease caused by a genetic trait. However part of the trait that causes it also offers protection from malaria.
Second is the controversial aspect. Who gets to decide which traits are desirable? If left up to individuals we would be awash with poorly informed trends, but if some central authority were given control, it could never be apolitical and would certainly devolve from any scientific basis into ideology.
It may seem foreign, but it is the state of things. $750k/yr for a $100mil non-profit CEO is about average.
You think $750k for a CEO of a “simple” company is high?
I think you should consider the opportunity cost of what they would be making elsewhere. Salaries need to be competitive, otherwise you are at the mercy of those who are willing to work for less and hope that the reason is benevolent.
Let’s engage in a thought experiment.
If Harris were to have negotiated a $15 minimum wage with Republicans but to do so had to give up the EPA. Would that earn your favor?
Let us assume that giving up the EPA is too much, do you see a world where the Republicans agree to anything while getting anything you are OK with giving up?
Perhaps you and the Republicans share some common wedge issue, do you think you would get any Democratic support for a bill that makes that trade?
Minimum wage is currently a partisan issue, a party that believes it should be increased and a party who doesn’t think it should exist. Just keeping it is as is is a negotiation.
