Yes! You’re right!
Selling access to the algo directly would be terrible for users. The SEO companies would all know exactly how to game the system, and ruin Google search completely. That would be soooo bad.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai seemed genuinely alarmed at the prospect of being forced to license Google’s search index and algorithm
This is almost exactly what Kagi suggested.
The hardest part of internet search is building the search Index. It’s massive. Practically a whole copy of the internet. Selling other provider access to Google’s search index means new businesses and new business models can be created. My only concern is the “and algorithm” part. That almost sounds like the current state of things. Where companies can run queries to google and receive standard results filtered by Google’s algorithm. Direct access to the index is needed without Google’s algorithm, so others can use their own algorithm. But maybe they meant and/or, so companies can choose to be a real “Google white label” or something more.
I’m still not sure I understand exactly. Are you asking about individual autonomy, or the collective autonomy of humanity?
I would say there’s no real difference on an individual level. I guess conceptually, humanity as a collective entity, might loose autonomy. But I’m not sure that matters.
Answer to what? The question I asked you? I don’t have an answer.
Safety without giving up liberty just seems fine to me.
The burglars worked for nearly five hours during the night of May 9-10, 2025
But today is the 7th.
I’m confused.
It’s JUNE now!!??
And if you don’t have to give up liberty?
It’s a false dichotomy to think it’s only either or.
The Galactic Empire was peaceful for thousands of years.
You’d rather have constant war and chaos?
Which is why the news needs to ignore his shit talking rather than broadcasting it.
You’re forgetting how often Rump says all sorts of things he never follows up on. This is why I keep saying we need a better news media. One that can recognize when something is genuinely news worthy. None of the details of this feud matter. Only maybe a single story about them having a feud would be needed. And if it were TV news it would be the last story. A funny fluff piece that doesn’t actually matter.
You’re still thinking in very small human scales. Culture isn’t fixed. All cultures are dynamic. They rise, change, change again, and disappear, throughout the ages. 500 years ago the landscape of various Christian and Muslim cultures were vastly different than they are now. An immortal Artificial Super Intelligence could spend centuries, hundreds of generations or more, subtly tweaking all the various cultures toward a more harmonious coexistence.
It’s really only certain aspects of a few cultures which drive them to be intolerant of other cultures, that would need to be changed.
Those certain aspects which cause intolerance, would need to be changed. Nothing more.
My statement you quoted says nothing remotely like “unify the world into a single culture.” Read it again. “a more globally compatible culture.”
There are many different yet compatible cultures, that are able to exist together in the world. It’s really only certain aspects of a few cultures which drive them to be intolerant of other cultures, that would need to be changed.
Conflicting things could be true at the same time in different places. Having one ruler doesn’t require one set of rules. There could be, and would need to be different rules for different communities.
One person who understands and is willing to accommodate that, is an example of the kind of super human trait I was referring to. An AI might be willing to do that, and slowly nudge over generations, differing communities toward a more globally compatible culture.
I’m not sure that would be very difficult if we tried. The current issue in picking a human global ruler, is that it would require super human traits. By definition no human could satisfy them. But a sufficiently advanced AI might.
It’s certainly reasonable to offer a charitable interpretation of the question, rather than assume mal-intent.
“What would it take for an AI to be given governance over the world?”
I just learned of https://liberapay.com/
Checks at least most of those boxes, and more.
I guess what I mean is, why was this posted as “News”?
This kind of sounds like it should be a !nottheonion@lemmy.world headline.
