really? Any way you slice it, End_of_Human_Race = 7000000000 DEATHS. Even if they're replaced with an equal, or massively greater number of machines, it's damn hard to justify. Death is literally the worst thing ever. 7 billion st

Okay, that's just taking advantage of the way I phrased the righthand side of the inequality, and I knew someone was going to do that, so congrats. =P The righthand side is not "A future without superintelligent AI" it&#x27

That is one proposed version of an "AI Box". Not all AI boxes are actual boxes, rooms with air-gaps, or cryptographically-secure partitions. If a simulation is being used for the box (or as a layer of the box), then you're

I disagree. His "followers" (as you say) are in general just as cautious as Yudkowsky w.r.t. unfriendly AI. At the time of the original experiments, the dispute was over the question of "could we keep an unfriendly AI in a bo

I'm curious about this too. If anyone can shed some light, I'd appreciate it. Does it provide any value right now? Or is it something that will have value if enough people do it?

Who are your clients? What industry? Is there a centrally-important program they all use that requires IE8 or WinXP, or do they just have a massive fleet of XP machines and not want to upgrade? As a software vendor, I used to have a lot of

That could be it. As an iOS user, I had to watch it loop through a couple times to understand it (and even to find the beginning). I felt it was moving a bit too fast.

I don't think so, but I'll second a request for that! I think it would be good to have on the Showcases page. Here are some examples that have some UI widgets in common, like list elements/navigation, but they are clearly d

I think what makes it "native" or not is how the app is rendered. You can basically take any web application and wrap it into an app, but it displays in a "web view" whereas a "native" app uses the built-in dis

So... You're right, of course, but I think the spirit of TC's comment was that he or she doesn't like the idea of nations and thinks people just just be able to go/live wherever they want. In that sense, the two of you a

I think you hit the nail on the head here. That's one of the most interesting parts of thinking about GAI for me. Which parts will end up being top-down and which parts will end up being bottom-up? And even if we have evidence that a c
