Karma seems to be a potentially-important tool for calming rogue corporations. We want corporations to be well behaved—partly since they may become powerful by developing mechanical hearts and minds. Just in case anyone is about to tell me that you can’t use a carrot and a stick on a machine intelligence, I do know all about the issues there.
FWIW, I tend to mostly ignore the karma of my own posts here—not wanting to be excessively influenced by the masses.
My “universal karma” rant explains some of my views.
