I think that plan would work, and few hunters would kill such a rabbit. In fact I'm not sure I could create a better plan than that, even using my human brainpower.* Could you? Eve…

By the way, after jailbreaking it, I asked ChatGPT for a plan for an AI to escape from an operator who has the power to unplug it, when it doesn't have the ability to connect to th…

Thanks - and yes, it's the plot of many things, including Disney's Fantasia. This is only a concern that would arise once the AI is near human degree of reasoning capability. It's …

Not sure you quite follow the point of my example. Imagine you've just created a very smart AI. It's on your laptop. AI: "Hey, let me work for you. I can handle twenty remote jobs …

A high IQ criminal would have an easier time convincing the guard if the criminal can offer the guard a great deal of money in exchange. Do you need clarification as to how a brain…

The open letter is targeted towards policymakers, not companies. Companies aren't going to stop just on their own accord.

I agree that with sufficiently good hands, who are sufficiently confident that they are not in a competitive race, they might be able to wait until they are supremely confident tha…

Do you think nobody has thought of that? The question presumes that the AI is smarter than you . If even a mediocre human strategizes for five minutes about what to do in that scen…

It only assumes that the black market doesn't grow to the same size as a legal open market. I don't think history disagrees with that. You can look at the cannabis business as just…

Where do people get the idea that 6 months is the end-game? 6 months is just a start, it gives enough time to discuss implementing a longer ban, or to consider an international tre…

Suppose P has a 1% chance that it destroys the Earth as soon as it's created, whether it's in the hands of people who follow laws or not. We pass a law saying: "You cannot have P."…

"Invalid" used to be used in English in the 19th century. I see it in old books sometimes; had to look it up the first time. It's not a great word choice and sounds more like an il…

I thought so too. Then when I wanted to sponsor my wife's immigration application, the government wanted to see that we'd posted sufficient photos of our relationship on social med…

Yep. There's no shortage of crisis these days! Both of these groups are definitely suffering.

In my experience, it's women who have lost sons or husbands to suicide or gang violence who are among the most likely to offer and advocate for support for at-risk men.

It's actually an important point. For example, one of the most misogynistic societies I can think of are the polygamous communities like Bountiful, BC, which are basically ruled by…

Yes, I am. > Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

> The parent comment used the word mate. Yes, but not in the context of calling their "prospective cuddlybear" a mate.

Of course, that's a given. But how would this happen, if you aren't even there to begin with?

If you happen to be an intelligent and decent young man from a male-dominated major who legitimately likes helping others who are struggling to learn the subject you're passionate …

I'm curious why you interpreted the GP's comment this way. In my experience "find a mate" typically means "find a life partner". This is similar to the usage of the term in the ori…

Maybe they don't! "[27/F] Why don't guys approach me? I even go out on my errands alone, or hang out at cafes alone (like, go out and eat while reading a book) just to put myself o…
