Cert Was Petitioned with SCOTUS

James - based on your comments on contract requirements, I would suggest the chapter on Thinking at the Margin.

I have an MBA. I think I understand contracts and opportunity cost. If not I should be asking for a refund. That post was about policy. What exactly am I missing. Be specific.

It relates to the consequences of pushing for an expected overall outcome, and having elements at the margins reacting in adverse ways - much as you had described.

How on earth are we going to control these AIs we are creating?

Good thing that robot doesn't have a mind, since AI takes so much computing power it would have to be remote controlled

But how would robots make more robots without humans help?

Don't worry about it, how could humans make such a dumb decision as to allow a bad AI out of the box?

I know, good humans will make sure it doesn't escape....

I do not think we will be able to control the future of (real) AI in any coherent responsible fashion. My HOPE is it will be similar to what is described in the book Accelerando by Charles Stross. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerando Published in 2005 BTW, and still pretty good. Kinda like Snow Crash 2.0

A distinction should be made between a singularity type AI and what is meant when "AI" is added to the outside of a box for marketing purposes. I am not too worried about cardboard box "AI", but I am quite worried/resigned when it comes to the looming singularity type AI. When it comes to how to deal with the singularity, my current personal solution is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Strangelove + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_Look_Up

Amazon doesn't need your $20. Carry on.

PS Warren, I looked it up, correct, the "Thinking at the Margins" chapter is applicable - I recommend the balance of the book to anyone that does not have an MBA and the complete understanding of all that exist.

Thanks for the book recommendation Dave.

Back when I was in school I saw an MBA advertised in the classified section in the back of a Rolling Stone Magazine. I couldn't afford the stamp to send in for the materials. I instead went for my PHD until I learned it meant post hole digger. Thus settled for PLS.

Texas filed the Hines petition. It’s good. It sounds like my outrage earlier. Just…..professional. I’m interested to see if they deny ours Monday and just take Hines or if they consolidate all 3. They all roughly ask the same questions.
