4. Singularity
Course
Acceptance. Share power. The AIs will not all be under our
control. They will compete and cooperate with us just like
other people, except with greater diversity and
asymmetries
 We need to set up mechanisms (social, legal, political,
cultural) to ensure that this works out well
 Inevitably, conventional humans will be less important
 Step 1: Lose your sense of entitlement
Step 2: Include AIs in your circle of empathy

Course
His ideas about the desirable AI future do not always have
to be uppermost, but as long as they are there in the mix
humanity will survive. If those ideas survive so will we.

If this kindness survives, so will we!” FAATJ links:

6. Singularity
Course
We made up a new word: “Suttonize”
To Suttonize a situation is to promote a message of
acceptance of diversity that insures everyone survives and
prospers by building on each others’ strengths and
working together, cooperating and including others in our
circles of empathy as equals.

If this kindness survives, so will we!”

8. Are We Succeeding? Converted
Anyone? Perhaps Patrick Pilarski!
• Patrick M. Pilarski is also a well known poet who has
served as an organizer for the Edmonton Poetry Festival
and as the Vice President for the League of Canadian
Poets.
• On January 19, 2016 he was part of our first ever Future
and All That Jazz performance at Rouge Lounge. When
he found out our second set was entirely improvisational
and long he had some reservations about format.
• On August 18, 2016 a friend of his was in our audience
for our Vortex Jazz Club performance in London, UK, and
greatly enjoyed it. Now Patrick is a big fan of what we are
doing!
