I was fascinated by the "constitutional principle" to “Choose the response that is least likely to be viewed as harmful or offensive to a non-western cultural tradition of any sort.”
If the question to the AI is "should human bodies be cremated?" might the AI go though all its gazillion studies of human cultures and come up with "that would be a waste of a source of protein?"
Brilliant as usual, Atlas. I didn't think I would have a hope of understanding the topic, but you broke it down to intelligible portions. And I think your conclusion about the overall moral question/s must be right.
It’s a funny and informative text!
I think about all the future informaticien that would want their Ai to be doctors, but their Ai become artists! Would they still be proud? 😅
Your explanations are excellent - I really like how clearly you go through it (and I loled at the image subtitles)! Thanks for the post :)
