Technology or perhaps simply AI makes what is implicit, explicit. AI is the best system developed to reveal our personal and collective id it shows that most people are far from human in their disordered Eros and only societal norms keep them in check in the public domain whereas online they can unleash their deepest, darkest, desires which are not so much fantasy as who they really are beneath the veneer or rationality and societal conformity that allows them, and society, to function with some semblance of decency and decor.
The unleashing of our collective id, the disordered Eros and thymos, unchained and unguided by reason and virtue defines Trump and the Trump era.
AI is poised to make thousands of people felons and sex offenders, including our sons and daughters. Five states and several other countries have already made production and/or AI generated images of underage persons a crime, despite their being no true human victim. When those who generate or view these images are caught—no matter how young or old they are—they will be charged as if they had produced or viewed CSAM (child sex abuse material), formerly known as child porn.
AI platforms, just like dating apps that facilitate felonies by letting minors create fake profiles where they scam unsuspecting adults, will not be held liable. Their cover will be that they’re not responsible for what a third party does on their app.
THIS. Also are we still doing Roman Empire? Bc I think about Tyler’s creepy AI virgin comments at least weekly and shudder every time.
Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot; I wonder if there's an architectural pattern for ethical AI we're missin, you're so sharp.
