I wonder if there's anything better than some good old fashioned war and murder to bring humans together to solve hard problems in a coordinated fashion, the Manhattan project springs to mind. Maybe military AI will be the next Manhatt

I do not mind your opinion or way of life, but if I consider other things to be relevant, why can't I use my time to improve in them? Just as you do with the things you consider relevant? As long as the activity doesn't infringe o

Is obsessing over things related to real life like social ties, money, career, or anything else that will surely pass after you die a disorder? If it isn't then why not?

I wonder if the reason for this is mainly due to how much leeway you have as long as you use your technology for the benefit of the ruling party. Isn't it much easier to work on things like harvesting personal information if you don&#x

How can you be sure that there are no ways to invalidate your countermeasures regarding AGI if you aren't as intelligent as one? Comments like these make me think about a bunch of cavemen trying to contain the terminator in a wooden ca
