Me too, but I started from the context of AGI safety: eventually we will make a superintelligent machine without any wisdom, that could be given any moral system, even making paperclips.

So here’s my draft of a logical path to maximal morality, and consequent values: https://www.quora.com/If-you-were-to-come-up-with-three-new-laws-of-robotics-what-would-they-be/answers/23692757

Of course it was downvoted to oblivion on LessWrong, probably because they believe: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/NnohDYHNnKDtbiMyp/fake-utility-functions

Popular is irrelevant, you need to match your personality and skills with where you can thrive. Easy and familiar isn’t necessarily good.

Whoever separates matter and arrangement, hardware and software.

That pump is inside the machine – I shall observe whether the water comes out (to an open drain) as fast as usual, and if not, report to maintenance.

The left rejected the Democrats’ corporate neoliberalism. Some held their nose and voted for the lesser evil despite loathing them, but too many couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

The lessons to be learned:

• Nominate Bernie Sanders when you have one. Be popular with the working class.
• Get rid of the shitty FPTP voting (= two party system) despite Democrats benefiting from it, because Republicans benefit even more now that they don’t have any spoilers or single-issue nonvoters.

I said “More about boring dystopia further down the article”. The collaborational approach to computing was tossed by the wayside several times over the decades, and the result is a dystopia.

The superficial layout of input and output devices makes maybe 3% of the UX talked about in the whole article. “Design is how it works.”

Breeding unhealthy dogs could be called dysgenics. It’s like breeding better slaves instead of better humans.

Wolves are good, evolution worked. Pet dogs are extra lives producing added value to themselves and their owners.

Single-issue voters on the right, single-issue nonvoters on the left.

Without dog breeding, dogs would be still be wolves.

The only place with eugenics in human history is agriculture. There were many genocides done using eugenics as an excuse with no clue of genetics, and you blame eugenics instead of the murderers.

We have gene editing now, so it’s only a matter of cost when parents start customising their babies, which is a good thing because human variability will increase, making us as a species more resistant to unknown threats.

I saw Dark City first, liked it a lot, and didn’t like Matrix.

When I’ve decided something I bought a few months ago is perfect even after several washes, I try to buy another one, but that product is sold out and will never be seen again.

Neutron activation is the only common way that a stable material can be induced into becoming intrinsically radioactive.
