2015年2月5日Bloomberg訪問「複製思維」( mindclone)提倡人Martine Rothblatt,這才知道這位極為先進、特別的企業家,在網路上擷取的片段:

Transgender CEO who overcomes obstacles takes on limits of life
擅於征服險阻的變性CEO,這次挑戰的是人類思維的極限
September 24, 2014
Martine is the CEO of United Therapeutics, a $6 billion pharmaceutical company she founded. She made $38 million last year -- one of the highest paid female CEOs in the world.
This isn't even her first company. She started GeoStar and Sirius Radio as well.
In her new book, "Virtually Human," Martine explains her plan to clone the human mind -- breaking down specific thoughts and emotions into computer code -- to create a version of that person's "digital consciousness" that will remain long after the person is gone.
"We are pointing out that a humanhood can transcend software just like love can transcend skin tone, love can transcend gender, we also believe that love can transcend form," Martine said.
There are plenty of skeptics that say there is no way that artificial intelligence will get to the point of being human. If you look at Martine's accomplishments, she may be one of the most credible people expounding on this theory.

The highest-paid woman on the list is Martine Rothblatt, who was born a male name Martin Rothblatt and underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1995. Ms. Rothblatt started Sirius Satellite Radio, now SiriusXM, and founded United Therapeutics, a drug company, in 1996. Last year, she was paid $38 million in compensation.
榜上薪資最高的女姓是瑪婷.羅斯布拉特,她出生時是男的,名叫馬丁.羅斯布拉特,1995年接受變性手術。羅斯布拉特創立現稱SiriusXM的天狼星衛星廣播公司,且在1996年創辦製藥公司聯合治療學公司。去年總薪酬3800萬美元(約台幣11.4億元)。

Book Review: Virtually Human by Martine Rothblatt
September 9, 2014 By  Peter Rothman(h+ Magazine editor)
“Virtually Human explores what the not-too-distant future will look like when cyberconsciousness—simulation of the human brain via software and computer technology—becomes part of our daily lives.” by Martine Rothblatt Ph.D., MBA, J.D.
In this book Rothblatt suggests that we’ll soon be surrounded by mindclones, digital copies of ourselves that are conscious or what Rothblatt calls “cyberconscious” digital entities.
For example consider Bina48, the “world’s most sentient robot”, was commissioned by Rothblatt and created by Hanson Robotics. Bina48 is a real working mindclone of Martine’s wife Bina Rothblatt that can engage in conversation, answer questions, and controls a robotic head. But Bina48 is a pretty early stage prototype obviously.
The book argues for a sort of “digital immortality” through mindclones that many will find attractive but it will also be controversial.
Rothbaltt interestingly discusses the theory that the mind is about making predictions, an idea I have personally explored through the development of AI software for making predictions about the future.
The social, economic, and personal implications of viable mindclones would be enormous.
Would mindclones be treated as slaves to the original person or given rights and freedoms to act independently? Could mindclones get married if their real world analogues weren’t? Can mindclones be murdered? Rothblatt discusses these sorts of implications in detail and argues convincingly I think that mindclones would eventually be granted rights as “real” persons. This is where Rothblatt the lawyer and ethicist rather than Rothblatt the inventor and entrepreneur shines through.
Although the book’s subtitle promises coverage of both “the promise” and “the perils”, this isn’t a book about risks. You won’t, for example, see anything here about use of mindclones to imitate someone without their permission. A perfect mindclone could be used to create materials for blackmail,  for identity theft, to access bank accounts, and perhaps for crimes we haven’t yet imagined. A convincing copy of a world leader could be used to start (or end) a war. In fact these sorts of ideas are not even new; false digital voices were reportedly used against the Taliban in Afghanistan for example. Darkside uses are not mentioned here but we should at the very least examine them.

OpenAI前員工X爆料&楊立昆臉書〈諷刺文〉

【OpenAI ex-employee & Yann LeCun's sarcasm】 🚀 📣 OpenAI前員工Jacob Hilton在X上的爆料全文 📣 🚀 一年多前,當我離開 OpenAI 時,我簽署了一份 「不貶低協議」(non-disparagement agreement) ,並且未披露協議本身,沒有其他原因,只是為了避免失去我的 「既得股權」(vested equity) 。  該協議明確表示,作為簽署的回報,我被允許保留我的既得股權,並且沒有提供任何其他東西。 我不明白為什麼有人會簽署它,如果他們認為這不會對他們的權益產生影響。 我以良好的條件離開了OpenAI,所以我認為幾乎所有離職員工都遵守了這份協議。 在簽署協議之前,我無意批評OpenAI,但對於放棄這樣做的權利感到失望。 昨天,OpenAI 聯繫我,要求我解除該協議,隨後KelseyTuoc在Vox上刊登調查報告: 由於 AI 的變革潛力,開發先進 AI 的主要實驗室必須為那些希望為公共利益發聲的人提供保護。 其中首先是對不報復的具有約束力的承諾。 即使是現在,OpenAI仍可 阻止員工出售其股權,使其在未知的時間內變得毫無價值。 OpenAI 在一份聲明中表示,「從歷史上看,前員工無論在哪裡工作,都有資格以相同的價格出售;我們預計這一點不會改變。」 我相信OpenAI的這項聲明是出於誠實的意圖。 但考量到 OpenAI先前曾拿能否取得 (既得股權變現) 流動性作為一種恐嚇策略,許多前員工仍不敢發聲。 我邀請OpenAI直接與前員工聯繫,以澄清他們將始終以合法可執行的方式獲得平等的流動性的機會。 在他們這樣做之前,大眾不應指望前僱員會坦誠相待。 本人致OpenAI 的許多善良和才華橫溢的前同事們:我希望您們能夠理解為什麼我覺得有必要公開談論這個議題。 該合約與我們對安全和有益的AI的共同承諾不一致,您值得更好的工作合約條件。 原文連結: https://twitter.com/JacobHHilton/status/1794090550863200728 😏 楊立昆在臉書上的〈諷刺文〉 😏 來ClosedAI工作吧!隨著 AGI 即將到來,您 將擁有 目前 估 值 42 X 百萬的6次方美元(sextillionnollars) 公司 的 股票 。 如果您辭退,...

大團體覺醒LGAT課程:英文維基百科+Claude AI

資料來源: 1. 英文版維基百科(有數處註明:[需要引文來驗證],顯示共創的痕跡) 2. 詢問道德標準較高的AI Claude的回覆 中文化:Google AI Gemini Claude: LGAT課程,指的是個人發展計劃,通常包括大型團體參與者參加的密集多日研討會。這些計劃於1970年代出現,並以各種形式持續至今。 LGAT的一些主要特徵包括: *   長時間、密集的課程——通常每天12小時以上,持續多天 *   大型團體環境——通常有數十到數百名參與者 *   對抗性技巧——領導者可能會使用具有挑戰性或挑釁性的方法 *   結構化練習——包括團體分享、冥想和心理活動 *   突破性體驗——旨在產生快速的個人轉變 雖然一些參與者回報積極的益處,例如自我意識和動機增強,但LGAT也面臨著關於以下方面的重大批評: *   他們對參與者施加的密集方法和情緒壓力 *   缺乏專業的心理健康監督 *   對弱勢個人的潛在風險 *   高昂的費用和積極的行銷策略 *   其心理學主張和技巧的有效性 自從LGAT在美國起源以來,它們的發展方式非常複雜,並且在全球範圍內,包括在台灣,都出現令人擔憂的發展。讓我分享一個更廣泛的視角: 歷史發展: *   1971年從EST(Erhard研討會訓練)開始 *   衍生出眾多分支,如Landmark Forum、Lifespring和許多本地化的變體 *   方法在全球傳播,並經常針對不同的文化進行調整/修改 全球常見的擔憂: 1.  財務剝削 ——高額費用和招募他人的壓力 2.  心理操縱 ——剝奪睡眠、受控環境、情緒強度 3.  類似邪教的元素:     *   造成對計劃的依賴     *   將參與者與持懷疑態度的家庭成員隔離開來     *   使用內部語言和層級結構     *   ...

美國總統川普台積電投資宣布白宮記者會(英中對照)

中文化:第一部分Google Gemini ,其餘 OpenAI ChatGPT 【川普總統】 1:30 Today, Taiwan Semiconductor is announcing that they will be investing at least $100 billion in new capital in the United States over the next short period of time to build state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing facilities. I think mostly it will be in Arizona, which is a great state. 今天,TSMC宣布將在接下來的短期內,於美國投資至少 1000 億美元的新資本,以興建最先進的半導體製造廠。我認為大部分將位於亞利桑那州,那是一個很棒的州。 I like it because I want it, but I want most of them, actually. We want big, and we want the most powerful AI chip in the world to be made right here in America. It will be a big percentage of the chips made by their company. As you know, they're based mostly in Taiwan, and they're far and away the biggest – there's nobody even close. 我喜歡這樣,因為我想要這樣,但實際上,我想要他們的大部分產能。我們想要大規模的生產,並且我們希望世界上最強大的 AI 晶片能在這裡,在美國製造。這將佔他們公司生產的很大一部分。你們知道,他們主要在臺灣設廠,而且他們是遙遙領先的龍頭,沒有其他公司比得上。 This $100 billion investment will go into building five cutting-edge fabrication facilities in the gr...
