As I mentioned previously, I'm a single parent this and next week. | |
After the kids go to bed, I'm now too tired to do anything on the | |
computer, my mind is spent, so I'm taking the opportunity to binge | |
watch Netflix series and movies which I had bookmarked for later. | |
In the last days, I've watched the first season of Altered Carbon | |
I have to say it is very good. Of course I think there are some ho | |
in the story, but it's hard to avoid these when creating a scifi | |
world so different than ours in technological terms. | |
In sociological terms, the problems are very similar to our curren | |
ones and I can't help but to apply the same projection to a future | |
when AI is present. AI won't be used to reduce differences between | |
classes, to the contrary it will be directly use to push them apar | |
If people complain about capitalism creating inequalities (and I a | |
not one of them, because I favor capitalism), they have no idea wh | |
AI will be like. | |
But back to the series, the concept of "artificial", or man-made, | |
reincarnation and its conflict with traditional religious teaching | |
needs a lot of discussion as well. I feel I could spent days | |
discussing with friends this and other topics worked in the series |
