"You also mention it will "spin out of our control". The whole point of an AI is that it's autonomous, which is why thoughts as to it's concept of morality is so important. I personally don't think anyone should be under…"

"If you have a reason why an AI would act that way then I'd like to continue debating the point. If your only support is that it's been done in the past by people holding supernatural morals, then I best keep my adultery a secret lest my…"

"That was interesting.
What makes you think cooperation will be the ultimate goal of ai? How could ai fail to perceive how irrational, vicious, petty and ugly we humans are? In humans the strong have always killed, supplanted, enslaved and…"
