Happy to share. A wonderfully optimistic talk! All about how one should value (& voice) their own opinions without fear of the "experts".https://twitter.com/samharrisorg/status/781521475719143424 …

Indeed. Like us. Because we, like they, are fallible people who can learn. To treat them different is racist.
Ethical realism is an oxymoron.
Because you're a relativist and don't think ethics are a part of *reality*?
Because there's no good argument, or scientific evidence (not that there could be) to suggest morality is obj.
The argument is: from the present moment there are objectively better & worse choices to make. That's it.
Objectively better in what sense? What's the litmus test for 'better'?
Same as criteria in any domain: compared to *reality*. Eg: it would be objectively better if slaves were free.
That begs the question. It trades argument for intuitive appeal. (Who doesn't *want* to say that's true?)
Right. So in the same way: who wouldn't want to say "General Relativity" is true? Or Pythagoras Theorem?
Minds ultimately care about MINDS, this isn't a material-reductionist theory, it's a Teleological one,
human minds hardly care about other human minds. We care even less about lesser minds.
That's not what i'm saying, there exists an objective value set that optimally thinking minds converge on.
I'd say it's incredibly naive to think that any of humanity's values are near that objective morality.
Not what i'm talking about, AGI and SAI, don't divert.
This generates a near equilibrium situation like @robinhanson's "Age Of Em".
Already you see holes popping up in your argument you're selling.
Scaremongering, based on false philosophical premises, if your curious, engage in correspondence with me, you'll update.
If you get me on your podcast, i'll deconstruct your entire A.I talk and show it false, you'll have to update for sure.
