Are we currently going through an epistemic rupture similar to development of the theory of mind? <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_mind> <https://slatestarcodex.com/2020/06/01/book-review-origin-of-consciousness-in-the-breakdown-of-the-bicameral-mind/> When I interact with software I recognize that "intelligence" in the software is trying to manipulate me. Hopefully that's with good intentions - e.g. an intuitive UI. More and more, the software creator's intentions are dubious or even openily hostile to my interests. Does everyone with a smart phone possess that theory of software? Do most? Do you? |
