684:, granting article status to extremely unpopular topics creates an unencyclopedic misimpression of significance, esp when the article is linked to/from broader articles. Eg, say that i'm an environmentalist, and i -- or even a few of my friends -- think i'm interesting enough to merit an article. If i don't have objectively greater significance than thousands and thousands of other environmentalists (notable publications, major media coverage, a sizable following, etc), then an article on me will create an inaccurate impression of my significance. Looked at from a different angle, wp is huge but is still an encyclopedia, which means that the articles meet some criterion of general interest, even if by fewer people than for paper encyclopedias. Finally, all this will be made worse by linking the article on me to/from "Environmentalism" and describing me as an example of it; that article should be linked only to people widely associated with that movement. Even a list article of environmentalists, tho incl more names, should be limited to notable people -- otherwise the non-notables would both overwhelm the notables and be seen as too similar, making notable environmentalists hard to find and thus defeating the purpose of a general reference work.

still gradually trying to get a sense of the range of opinion re
Singularity, incl not only beyond SIAI but also beyond SL4. But i'm finding a good amt of that -- tho if you had any faves to pass along i'd love to see them. But where you could really help me is by recommending places presumably on SL4 where the premises of the SIAI/SL4 discussion are debated (besides the Hibbard stuff). Eg, the ease/hardware requirements of seed AI (such that SIAI could get it before the government/military/corporate/university complex), the speed of progress (quick leap vs a gradual approach thru mouse-level, dog-level, etc), and so on. In a little bit of looking, i haven't found this in SL4; and what i find in Yudkowsky's writings (eg AI-box) isn't what i mean by real critique/debate. Make sense?

Then there are background issues such as 10] How MNT will work out, plus 11] All the aspects of how to program safe/friendly AI, and finally 12] Evaluations of other approaches to ensuring friendly AI, such as political action.
165:"I did indeed say the things you quote me as saying on your Wiki page, but I'm not quite as critical of the SIAI as those two lines taken in isolation might suggest! :) 'Have fast, thorough means of suicide available' was for the imaginary scenario where an AI implementing CV is in the process of taking over the world; I used this scenario to emphasize why I think CV is a bad idea, not because I think it's realistic. I'm hoping the SIAI will change their minds eventually as they have done on a previous occasion; in the meantime I think they're doing valuable work on the issues associated with Friendly AI - something only a very few teams are doing at all. So while I'm certainly anti-CV, I wouldn't call myself anti-SIAI; perhaps you could add some sort of note to that effect?"

minds. It feels intuitive that if you created something stupid and then made it smarter and smarter, it would look like it was climbing up the chain of intelligent animals and ending with humans. Really, no such chain exists, since modern animals (including all the non-human apes) are not our ancestors, just our distant cousins. Even the real chain of ancestry that leads from us backwards in time is a highly arbitrary chain: it's the story of how a process that has zero intelligence managed to build an intelligent, sentient mind in only three billion years. Our AI creations have intelligent designers, and we don't have three billion years to get the job done. How intelligence rose

But at the level of principle, i don't think admin-deletion of well-intentioned factual conversation on user talk pages is a "minor point" or a matter of "courtesy".

I could go on, but since i don't want to make a big issue of it -- and because, judging from wiki- and cyberculture, i'd think plenty of more-informed people would raise similar concerns, only better put -- i'll leave it with just this note.

words did come from ideas i'd recently read in
Moravec's _Robot_ (see also Kurzweil, etc), using biological cases to exemplify degrees of "personhood" (my word, = ability to sense and interpret one's environment; possessing internal goals and means of evaluation of internal and external states; various modes of reasoning; world-models incl the past and future, both of oneself and the world incl other agents; etc). Suffice it to say that such shorthand doesn't imply that those exemplars evolved in a linear or teleological fashion. But our increasing success at a chosen goal does create linear progress different from the spreading bush of evolution.

Second, Landon is a towering figure in Haydn scholarship and many just cite dates from his 1950s volumes on Haydn without checking to anything has been learned since then (including by Landon himself). Also dating of some of the pieces where no autograph exists is an inexact science. There's room for some disagreement on the precise composition date of many of these pieces. Brown's table may provide other books/papers to research.

Just to point out, I wasnt advertising - im quite interested in transhumanism, was reading about it and found the transtopianism site.

solid objects on our own from the principles of
Bayesian induction. If the bits of our mental architecture that did that now were removed, we couldn't modify ourselves to build a new visual cortex, and even if we could, we wouldn't know how. This is true of a lot of the mind: we call ourselves intelligent because we can do things with pieces of our brain that we have no understanding of whatsoever. There's a profound difference between having a machine that understands language (which we have) and being smart enough to build such a machine from scratch when you need one.
239:, then you have an AI capable of designing a mouse brain, which humans can't do right now. And if your AI can design mouse brains, which is a very foreign and arbitrary thing from the perspective of something that grew up in a world of math and computer code, your AI might be even more proficient at designing better AGI (which is a human-doable task if the AGI exists in the first place), at designing nanotech weapons, at breaking out of boxes, and at thinking of all the little loopholes that we never thought of because we just weren't as smart. Hence the danger of AGI.

Of course, there are situations where we can't do this - when there is a complaint about a valid part of an article for example - but where it is a comment like this on a talk page it's often the right thing to do. If you need the comment, why not copy it to an offline storage space? Or simply use the page history when you want to remind yourself of it?

areas doesn't fit SIAI/SL4, so far as i can tell. Since i agree about how important this issue is, and i'm eager to learn from those who've worked on it so much more than i have, i wrote you looking for critical discussion of these premises within the SIAI/Y's essays/SL4. I now feel confirmed that there isn't much -- not that satisfies me, anyway. I'll keep on looking into it, and i'll be interested in anything else you may want to send my way.

Last I've heard, Ben Goertzel is making his own Seed AI and doesn't think Friendliness is as important as SIAI claims, but doesn't have any opposition to SIAI's success I'm aware of. I'm sure you could find more examples by looking through the SL4 archives. And sorry in advance if I've misrepresented Wallace's or Goertzel's views here, as they may have changed recently. --
