Yet more “research” primarily citing itself and science fiction charlatans like Yudkowsky, without any apparent awareness of (1) the actual state of artificial intelligence research or (2) any serious grounding in philosophy.
A paper like this could be interesting if there were some attempt to define an algorithmic/heuristic framework for morality, or a way of mapping philosophical frameworks to software, or something along those lines. Instead, it's just more MIRI-or-whatever-it's-called-this-week wankery.
- gradstudent 10y agoYeah, I too came in expecting the authors to develop philosophical framework of some description. Was disappointed to find the paper instead talks about NSA and hacking and the military and... ugh. I can't even.

- gradstudent 10y ago...continue summarising all the nonsense in this paper.
