I am going to read the 38 pages of the Yudkowsky paper you link to, but for starter using the word Friendliness to describe the research for a safety IA that is not going to convert human in slaves is a comical term that don't reflec

I think that perhaps none has stopped to consider what is a life without emotions. In the same way that one can't grasp the concept of nothing, for us the concept of not having emotions is impossible to imagine. Perhaps you make hide y

I want to ask if someone has any idea of how to define a system that is both logical and respects the value human life. Today we can see children dying from hunger and other people with billions in their bank accounts. Emotions tell us th

"We need a scalable intelligence without the burden of emotions" I believe that there isn't an absolute way to value a human life if you don't take into account emotions. If intelligence is the supreme of the values tha

Thanks, social connections are very important, that is a great lesson to take away.

I don't think being an intelligent and logical parent is correlated with having children with ASD. It could be that nowadays exigent jobs, with long hours for parents and stress, can contribute to less time for the family and this on

I seems that you are in a very sad situation. I wonder what piece of advice could you give to the five years old child to improve his future? Is there a single thing you would change in your past that you think could have contributed to yo

I would be interested in knowing what kind of program will this child create in the next years. If his success relays mainly on his good memory then perhaps nothing outstanding is to be seen, but it could be that there are other great capa

Just to add some science: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neanderthal_extinction: Division of labor. In 2006, two anthropologists of the University of Arizona proposed a new explanation for the demise of the Neanderthals.

I have just took a quick glimpse and the source seems to be written very clearly. It is an excellent example of how coding in tcl looks like. Perhaps this could be used as an example when you are learning to program in tcl. I don't us

Spoiling the joke at the end of the article: "I don't know how you'll survive when our genes are gone." The woman has the genes of the Neanderthal that is the mathematic and logic skills, while the boss has the genes of

I wonder if there is some hidden factor in the minds of those mathematicians that allows them to think so easily in abstract terms. I have always needed to begin with simple examples and from them to go to generalities. Perhaps they learne

I think the key factor here is that with the new tools and power in computation big data is everywhere. Intelligent and creative people can use this tools to create models and new hypothesis that they can refine and sharp with the new data

The author shows a micro benchmark in which the state of the generator is a single variable and discuss the history of generators from the first tier (interpreter code) to the second tier (using the Jit). Perhaps some more complete example

Perhaps the hope with J was that symbols could create a grammar for concepts. In maths we use intuition to define an integral as a certain kind of summation, a progressive difference as a certain kind of derivative, and so on. I was thinki

Trying to summarize the post: Free time can increase your wisdom and is necessary sometimes for higher order thinking. Too much productivity, that is not having time for your mind wandering, produces a bad effect in society. To compose th

"Long term couples invariably survive because the two involved never wanted to divorce at the same time" If I may be allowed a little joke, statistics here are really of little use in order to estimate a conditional probability (i

I like statistics, but I think here we have personal and cultural factors that make statistics of no sense if you are trying to use probabilities for your personal life. What I think is a key factor in an stable marriage is the ability to

I would like Perl to be the Perfect Extended Ruby Language. Sometime ago, there was a post from some Perl people about using Scala for the next Perl. Today Haskell, Clojure, Julia, Scala, Ruby and Lisp (batteries provided by quicklisp) are
