#artificial-empathy

My inclination is to dismiss the notion as sort of a sentimental fantasy. Yet part of me wonders if Hinton is on to something. In a world where intelligence scales faster than morality, maybe even a synthetic gesture toward care could act as a stabilizer. A nurturing bias, if it could be coded, might function like an emotional safety valve-an algorithmic pause between two words that Hinton has used: autonomy and annihilation. From that perspective, maybe it's not naivety, but a form of techno-triage.
