I was thinking more Peelian ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peelian_principles ) though not quite sure how you apply that to stopping Russia vs Ukraine or Iran vs Saudi proxies.

I think if you are worried about AI killing us and the like the main protection is the physical world - you can pull the plug. Data centers don't run fast. Alignment is all very well but there will always be bad humans to tell it to do

>not seeing ... finds the true optimal That kind of assumes there is an optimal. It seems quite likely not so - that there will always be room for improvement in AI like we don't have a true optimal chess or go programs. They just g

People talk disparagingly about the US acting as world police but maybe we need something like a real world police that follows agreed laws and avoids violence where possible.

I'd dispute buying a new car is cheapest, having bought a number of cheap and one new car. The cheapest is probably a basic reliable model, about 15 years old. Toyota corolla type stuff. If something does pack up you can usually fix th

Fair enough - maybe I didn't fully read the statement. Though you can ask AI questions about how things worked sometimes. Like here's me asking the google one how you derive E=mc2 https://share.google/aimode/d

It reminds me of Frédéric Bastiat's Candle Makers' Petition. It satirised protectionism in the 1800s: >We candlemakers are suffering from the unfair competition of a foreign rival. This foreign manufacturer of light has such a

It seems to 'not have infinities' by ignoring them. How many prime numbers are there? How many digits does the square root of two have? I guess you can simplify life by ignoring that stuff and sticking to what is 7x8.

Robinson being fascist is dubious. If you look at the wikipedia on him it doesn't say he is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Robinson It has "Tommy Robinson, is a British far-right, anti-Islam activist&quo

The accounting is pretty iffy there though. Like the top line implies Amazon lost $334bn on AI but they aren't really an AI company and made a $16bn profit last quarter at AWS up 64% on the previous year. Also a larger profit as a comp

Google says annual public transport spend is ~£300bn. If you put all the self driving resources into it it wouldn't make a huge difference. Waymo like vehicles may also help with the last mile issues, giving disabled access to pedestri

Perhaps but if the motorcycle crashes into the back of a car because it slows down normally then it's the motorcyclists fault really. We have highway rules for a reason, to make things safe and orderly.

I guess a film about a fictional American fascist future society aligns pretty well with the current administration's vision.

In the UK I think the issue is the European Court of Human Rights say you can't send them back and so it costs the taxpayer about £200k a head to house and feed them. The answer is probably to leave the court and send them back but onl

Because humans have the "everybody wants to rule the world" instinct built into us by much evolutionary selection. AI would come exist differently.

AI doing human jobs has never happened before though. That said I expect humans will work at stuff because the prefer to do that.

If we have money / goods from the AI making them then we can spend time getting the golf handicap down from 22 to 18 or singing mediocrely.

It's kind of easy to abuse too. I think if you want benefits for life you just claim clinical depression which can't really be disproved. Welfare has exceeded income tax for a while https://fullfact.org/economy&#x2

I have emails from gmail, hotmail, yahoo and my own domain. Also many browsers. I use Google stuff mostly because it works best. It's sort of how the free market is supposed to work?
