Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      What if they did that, and their good idea was contrary to his but true nonetheless? Should make one focus on liberty and tolerance, how to deal with fact that individuals will always disagree about The Good.

      This is a straightforward failure to comprehend the technical idea of http://arbital.com/p/orthogonality  by @Ted_Chiang_kr, mixed with #TheLastDerail. What humans usually think of as moral arguments doesn't enter into it.

          Also, simple ignorance of history. I named the notion of Friendly AI, which of course had predecessors in SF long before, and from web archives it looks like I also reified the notion of an expected paperclip maximizer (likewise). Neither I nor those SF writers were billionaires.

          An AI you can't empathize with is really just a new technology: it creates new production possibilities, makes some existing techniques inefficient or futile. If it shares your endgame or convinces you to amend your endgame, then it's quasi-human.

          I hope that's not meant to be an exhaustive list of possibilities, because I don't see a listing for strongly superhuman expected paperclip maximizers.

          I don't see how an AI paying $1MM for a paperclip is different than if a new technology was created such that one can create $1MM in value via trivial cost, cold fusion or something. Presumably, the AI creates "$1MM worth of goods", and is not just printing money.
