“There isn’t any spark of compassion that automatically imbues computers with respect for other sentients once they cross a certain capability threshold. If you want compassion, you have to program it in” (Nate Soares). Given that we can’t agree on whether a straw has two holes or one...We should probably start thinking about how program compassion into a computer.
MIRI peope quotes are great, they aren’t easy to find like EY’s one ultra-famous paper from 2006, please add more MIRI people quotes (I probably will too).
Don’t give up, keep commenting, this contest has been cut off from most people’s visibility so it needs all the attention and entries it can get.
