In fact, I did think a lot about AI even before entering the steemit blockchain. I do know though, that I will be hardly listened to and that my critical attitude is somehow disturbing the enthusiasm about tau technology. This steemit realm has way more tech enthusiasts then all the other social media platforms I ever entered and is by nature more leaning towards foreseeing only the beneficial aspects of a technology like this (even without understanding it).
I haven't made up my mind yet - and don't know if I ever will take one side (probably not) - but I always would ask people to be more like a greek debater and also investigate the cons of a technology.
While I really do think that dealing personally with such a topic is highly enriching and leads to philosophical realms and intimate questions about ones own outlook on life and humanity I know that not many people are taking their times in doing so. They all have their reasons.
One thing I find particularly fascinating about the prospects of Tauchain:
Even if “people would hardly listen to you,” it wouldn’t matter so much.
There is value in your critical perspectives.
And if Tau gets built successfully, the contribution of that value gets accounted for and factored into whatever discussions you show up in. It wouldn’t matter whether or not other people wouldn’t “like” your opinions because they conflicted with theirs - your input would still be a valuable contribution - perhaps even moreso, as it might be of a rarer nature than commonly-held opinions...
hm hm ... :-) yeah, my man would say something similar. We talk a lot about this topic, really, a lot.
Oh, I am always risking my popularity, more often than I do promote it I would say. ;-)
We'll see what tau will bring ...
Thanks for coming back for a little chat.
Have a good day,

A sign of integrity, I’d say.
After all, what’s more valuable: popularity or honesty...?
(The answer no doubt varies person-to-person, though might reasonably be considered a reflection of one’s maturity/wisdom...)
