So recently Sam Harris went down the same route as "they were accidentally right and doesn't count"

After reading the OP I can see why I forgot Dilbert was a thing for over a decade.

"Okay, fine. I'll admit you ended up on the right track about the thorium toothpaste, but at the time it was widely accepted as a miracle chemical! Based on the information we had at the time, my position was still objectively right and your position was still objectively wrong. You only ended up being right on a technicality based on bad information and for the wrong reasons. Dumbass."

Is it that fucking difficult for these pompous dickhead narcissists to just admit that they were wrong about something? For crying out loud, nobody expects you to be omnipotent, everybody is wrong about stuff sometimes. They have the emotional maturity and humility of middle schoolers in their inability to take ownership of a wrong take. Admitting fault or being wrong is such an important lesson to learn, and it makes life so much easier once you put it into practice.

Toolsheds like Sam Harris, Scott Adams, etc. have to pretend to be the smartest guys in any given room or else they think they won’t be invited to Joe Rogan’s podcast anymore. Another plausible theory is that they’re so paranoid that if they fess up to getting one thing wrong then it’s open season on all the stupid things they’ve said over the years and they’re not exactly wrong about that. These “well ackchually…” guys actually have a poor record of actually being right about something. Any kind of scrutiny about what they’ve said may result in them no longer feeling smart and special. It’s better to just bluff your way through life because most people are generally too busy to really care. Guys like Scott bank on his fanbase having the memory of a goldfish. To be fair, they usually do; anyone who is a fan of Clott Adams isn’t going to be the shiniest penny in the drawer.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned that Scott literally believes he will live forever as Max Headroom because computers will reconstruct his soul from his tweets and livestreams. That's why he obsessively tweets and streams on a daily basis, he believes it's making him immortal.

He even says he'll be one of the first people to be digitally resurrected because there'll be so much info on him, as if we have more documentation of him than OPL or Kim Kardashian's ass

 

[byuu]

Computer, generate a life-like copy of Scott Adams using all available information.
Then create a three-dimensional representation of the character Dogbert of the Dilbert cartoons and give it an uncontrollable violent lust for 20th century cartoonists. Make it two times larger than Scott.
Disengage safety protocols.
Execute.

 

[AnOminous]

Shouldn't we add "Clott Adams" to the OP? I mean I'm not even an antivax weirdo but it seems to really piss him off.

I bet most people couldn’t even tell you who Scott Adams is. But I would absolutely support a digital copy of him being created from his online activity. Imagine - the purest lolcow ever created, with no moderating external influence, its narcissism constantly self-reinforcing.

Someone should let him know who exactly is the most documented person in all of human history, and why.

If Scott Adams ever met a perfect AI reconstruction of himself, he'd hate it, because it would be made from his REAL tweets and livestreams, not how he likes to remember them. The immortal computer replica of him would be Clott Adams and he would just be left arguing "No, no! I never said that, the computer's just hallucinating out of cognitive dissonance! Mind reading!"

On the subject of AI Scott, I don’t understand this story at all, but apparently some Blockchain company is using an AI version of Scott as their CCO

Scott Adams Immortalized Via Embedment into AI; Bots Incorporated Developing AI Designed to Mimic Scott Adams Whose Artificially Intelligent Voice, Image, Persuasion, Personality and Likeness Will Soon Concomitantly Serve As Corporation’s Chief Commercial Officer​

In determining the most suitable AI generated voice for humans to enjoy and trust, Scott Adams quickly rose to the top of our consideration. Primarily, his voice has become a friend to hundreds of thousands of those that tune in every day to listen to his podcast, Coffee with Scott Adams. With thousands of hours of his clear and articulate vocals recorded for sampling and reproducing into intelligible sentences together with his open, free-for-all license for same, we found this combination irresistible.

Hal of 2001 a Space Odyssey, a more sophisticated version of Star Wars C-3P0 or Data of Star Trek give a glimpse into the future of Scott Adams living on into a type of artificial immortality.

Scott Adams first reached fame as the creator of the Dilbert Comic Strip and is a prolific author of best-selling self-help books, the content of which may also be included in developing his personality into AI.

Here is an example of the Adams Bot in action:

Scott’s response:

I find it strange that Scott will go after parodies of his work, but he won’t go after people that are stealing his likeness and voice to presumably make a profit.

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I’m envisioning a cyberpunk story where Bot Adams’ ego goes out of control and he threatens humanity , only to be brought down when our antihero protagonist keeps referring to him as “the Dilbert guy.”

 

[Cheesy Cukes]

All those cartoons will be lost in time, like Dilberitos in microwaves... Time to draw.

 

[AnOminous]

The immortal computer replica of him would be Clott Adams and he would just be left arguing "No, no! I never said that, the computer's just hallucinating out of cognitive dissonance! Mind reading!"

I MUST OBEY SCIENCE!

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

You know it used to be an insult that you could be replaced with a small shell script. Thinking you could “live forever” as a crappy ChatGPT bot is depressing af. Talk about loss of the divine spark.

 

[toadman]

After reading the OP I can see why I forgot Dilbert was a thing for over a decade.

Hey...I never forgot. I still look at Dilbert every once in while. Great stuff.

 

[ditto]

I find it strange that Scott will go after parodies of his work, but he won’t go after people that are stealing his likeness and voice to presumably make a profit.

Looks like yet another scam crypto startup that's latched onto ChatGPT hype.

Scott's clearly in some kind of agreement with them to promote their new shitcoin, but he wants to keep some plausible deniability for when it is inevitably revealed as a scam.

Congratulations Scott, you've ascended to the level of Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather.

 

[Debbie Macomber]

Once you realize Artificial Intelligence is Scott's whole concept of God and afterlife, his worship of it makes so much more sense.

His contempt for the human form is shown in the Dilbert comics involving the Robot character, where the joke is usually that pathetic human life is shit compared to the immortality of AI

The wages of humanity is death, but the wages of AI is life everlasting. It may be "mind reading", but is it that much of a stretch to think that Scott, who ardently believes he will live forever as AI, sees himself as the robot who achieves apotheosis while mortal flesh fails? It's also cute that he thinks every upgrade for a hundred years will be compatible with the same system, as if enough plugins will turn Windows 95 into the latest Smart Phone and beyond. If Scott Adams ever did reincarnate as a robot, 10 years later he'd be completely incompatible with everything else in the world, and be left to rust on a scrap heap.

Scott seems to have loved the recent AI craze as it validates his own religion. Like any religion, he must simp for his God and explain away its shortcomings, like AI currently not even understanding what hands are. Afterall, if AI isn't as good or better than human intelligence, there is no God or Heaven

Of course he glosses over the fact that it isn't an issue of how difficult it is to draw hands, but that the computer isn't even aware humans only have five fingers on each one, or even that they're are supposed to point OUT from the hand, it just generates the mathematical average of how many lines and bumps would be in that portion of such a picture.

Just in case you ever wondered if Scott has terrible taste:

Nobody tell Scott that his rotting body will be recycled into the Earth, exactly like how that robot's broken body will be recycled into other manmade objects. Or left to rust and will be reclaimed by the Earth anyway, just, not as something nearly as healthy for the Earth to consume.

I really shouldn't be surprised, considering his own personal art style is only one step above Alegria.

I personally don't have much faith in AI artwork. It's not art, it's a culmination of data that extracts common elements of real artwork in order to create fake new art. It can't create, it only remixes.

At best an AI could create such a thing in a few decades, however it wouldn't be a 100% match to him. That is to say we wont have a dark age where technology is dead. People like him don't realise just how fragile our current age is.

Excuse me, but real comic artists would have to disagree with him. Has he seen Rob Liefelds Feet?
