This makes a lot of assumptions though and none of which are ones that I particularly agree with.

First off, this is predicated entirely off of the assumption that AI is going to think like humans, have the same reasoning as humans/corporations and have the same goals/drive that corporations do.

Since we cannot gather data on this, we must rely on the inferior method of using naive models to predict future behavior.

This does pull the entire argument into question though. It relies on simple models to try and predict something that doesn’t even exist yet. That is inherently unreliable when it comes to its results. It’s hard to guess the future when you won’t know what it looks like.

Decision Theory

Decision Theory has one major drawback which is that it’s based entirely off of past events and does not take random chance or unknown-knowns into account. You cannot focus and rely on “expected variations” in something that has never existed. The weather cannot be adequately predicted three days out because of minor variables that can impact things drastically. A theory that doesn’t even take into account variables simply won’t be able to come close to predicting something as complex and unimaginable as artificial intelligence, sentience and sapience.

Like I said.

Why do you think that? What part of what I said made you come to that conclusion?

I worded that badly. It should more accurately say “it’s heavily predicated on the assumption that AI will act in a very particular way thanks to the narrow scope of human logic and comprehension.” It still does sort of apply though due to the below quote:

we can conclude that a mind capable of logic, possessing preferences over worldstates, and capable of thinking on superhuman timescales will pursue its goals without concern for things it does not find valuable, such as human life.

Oh, I see. You just want to be mean to me for having an opinion.

I disagree heavily with your opinion but no, I’m not looking to be mean for you having one. I am, however, genuinely sorry that it came off that way. I was dealing with something else at the time that was causing me some frustration and I can see how that clearly influenced the way I worded things and behaved. Truly I am sorry. I edited the comment to be far less hostile and to be more forgiving and fair.

Again, I apologize.

He actually lives in Canada. Your comment still applies overall as it is not feasible to live adequately on disability here but he’s not in the US.

Canadians serving in US Prisons isn’t unheard of. We do have an extradition treaty to the US. Not one that I’m okay with as fuck being beholden to American laws while never stepping foot in the country. However he wasn’t even in Canada. He was in the Dominican Republic at the time that he was caught. He was extradited from there to the United States where he served 2 years before being released and repatriated back to Canada.

I’m Canadian too. Here’s the absolutely batshit thing. They do have it down in the states but they don’t call it Kraft Dinner. To them it’s just “Kraft Mac & Cheese”. Their boxes just say Macaroni and Cheese with a Kraft brand on top of it. They actually have to distinguish between boxed and baked mac and cheese…

Could not agree more, my friend.

What I’m referencing with the title? Absolutely. Couldn’t get into the games personally but the side quest about the lady and her pan cracks me up.

There is no context. It’s just a random shitpost.
