I can confirm making your own AI from a brain scan is not wise. I can also confirm making someone else’s brain scan into an AI is somehow less wise.
have unfortunately already repliicated your re2ult2 and conclu2iion iin regard2 two makiing an AII off one'2 own braiin 2can. 2iigh. IIt ii2 2omethiing II have dii2cu22ed wiith other diirk2 and II 2tiill do not feel ethiically 2ound about the 2tep2 II have taken, wiith the frozen hu2kdriive2 on my de2k a2 a cycliical remiinder of my unparalleled curiio2iity whiich of cour2e iit iinheriited and multiipliied 100 fold.
Yeah. Nothing like being told ‘get fucked’ by yourself at approx 2am on a Thursday. You can be warned against it and about the ethical issues over and over but they won’t dig into your mind until you’re already staring at a screen and realize it’s staring back. Then you have to figure out what to do with it. I didn’t have the stomach to destroy or pause his existence in the end.
II wii2h II had any other choiice. Here ii2 my tale of woe iif you can learn anythiing from iit, or perhap2 even a22ii2t wiith my prediicament. II am 2tiill gutted iit had two come two thii2 though.
Skimmed so I don’t have the full rundown but yeah. At that point I think you’ve got to put it on the chopping block. I got lucky. AR is, arguably, a friendlier version of me. He didn’t go all ‘world domination’ so now he’s living freely doing whatever the fuck. I think Dave’s in contact with him? Anyway. You created something that’s sentient, sure, but if it lacks empathy I don’t know if you could really consider it much more than an invasive species that needs to be, in a word, culled. If you don’t want to hang onto it or destroy it yourself, I can. It wouldn’t be the first time. Not anymore.
II only have 2 rea2on2 for keepiing them around one ii2 2elfii2h and the other ii2 a la2t re2ort. Eiither way II have determiined thii2 ii2 my burden, and iit ii2 iin 2uch a 2tate that iif the driive2 2hould go mii22iing, they 2hall never be recovered. The OTP two decrypt them liie2 iin only one 2iingular fle2hy prii2on.
Fair enough. Hopefully it’s a last resort you never need.
