Here is the circle that cannot be squared regarding all of the talk about agency and consent: If a woman drinks a bunch of alcohol, does ketamine, and then gets behind the wheel of a car, she is fully responsible for anything that happens. If the same woman participates in an orgie, she is not. Clearly something here doesn't add up.
Most of these "newsworthy" incidents are just scissor statements with a recurring theme. On one side are people that believe in some sort of objective legal framework/set of ethics that supports one party. On the other side there is a group of people who empathize with the counter-party because of a media narrative. This misaligns the conversation in such a way that both sides can only yell past each other, and no compromise position can be reached. You just have to keep yelling the loudest until the next scissor statement pops up. This has been the dominant form of civil discourse in the social media age.
While this is getting somewhat predictable and boring at this stage, I am genuinely curious about what comes next. No form of media has ever existed for an extended period of time without a cartel stepping in and imposing some form of order. My inclination is that at some point, someone will figure out how to divide the emotionally charged narrative people into such small and fractured groups that they no longer have any power. Or maybe just find some truly pointless windmill for them to tilt at. Whatever the solution is, it can't come soon enough.
Aligning AI makes no sense. That is akin to saying that we have taught the AI ethics. But we can't even agree on ethics. That's the root of all this culture war crap anyway.
If you trained an AI on what our ethics actually are, it would just spend its days shitposting and not fixing any problems. Which is what the bots are currently doing. Problem solved i guess.
