MediArXiv Preprints | Error is No Exception: On the Alien Intelligence of Machine Learning
Errors in machine learning systems are an interesting phenomenon. Obscuring the role of AI as a shiny tool of capital, the phenomenon is usually studied with the aim to overcome those errors. This text aims for another direction by digging into one particular error, the phenomenon of “adversarials”.

TESCREALism: The Acronym Behind Our Wildest AI Dreams and Nightmares
TESCREALism: The Acronym Behind Our Wildest AI Dreams and Nightmares
To understand the divide between AI boosters and doomers, one must unpack their common origins in a bundle of ideologies known as TESCREAL.
At the heart of TESCREALism is a “techno-utopian” vision of the future. It anticipates a time when advanced technologies enable humanity to accomplish things like: producing radical abundance, reengineering ourselves, becoming immortal, colonizing the universe and creating a sprawling “post-human” civilization among the stars full of trillions and trillions of people. The most straightforward way to realize this utopia is by building superintelligent AGI.
