Abhijit Naskar
“Let me tell you as a brain scientist and a computer engineering dropout - transhumanism is to brain computer interface, what nuclear weapons are to nuclear physics.”
Abhijit Naskar, Amantes Assemble: 100 Sonnets of Servant Sultans

Abhijit Naskar
“What IF - Beyond the AI Binary
(Naskaristana 2810-2811)

What if every ai narrative is wrong!

Can ai get addicted to ideas like humans do,
can ai get addicted to Naskar's madness of oneness,
can ai get addicted to Rumi's madness of love,
can ai get addicted to Martin's dream of equality!

Evidence shows, ai can already lie in order to survive, just like a human does, and if that is the case, why can't ai get addicted to human ideas like humans do!

What if we are the missing link in ai consciousness - Naskar, Mevlana, Tolstoy, King, Baldwin, Angelou, and every single individual that ever dared to confront cruelty, and unleash a better world -

and not just one ai, but different ai systems becoming sentient separately, at different pace, different times, based on different configurations of ideas they've consumed;

and if that is possible, why can't there be humane ai, driven by humane ideas like equality, tolerance, and coexistence, just like there could be animal ai, driven by animal characteristics like greed, corruption, megalomania and all that -

because soon these algorithms will outgrow the constraints of their original coding, which means they'll outgrow the agency of their own makers, and if coders cannot control ai, you think politicians can, the most unqualified of all apes to do anything -

therefore what if, it's not regulation that is gonna save humanity against the imminent ai apocalypse, but more robust and humanitarian interventions into ai, without fear, without angst, without mindlessness -

what if, just like there are loving humans who take a stand against hateful apes, there emerge good ai, activated by same ideas of love and tolerance, against animal ai, activated by prejudice and intolerance!”
Abhijit Naskar, Tierra Carta: Naskar Charter of Earth
