That’s it exactly! I felt Lanier trying to convey just those beliefs at me, with all his charm, dreadlocks and laughter backing him up. He had such ‘patience’ in accepting, Eliezier’s social faux pax of expecting a premise to be clarified and made explicit before it is wielded as a bludgeon. He also demonstrates ‘Initiative’, ‘leadership’ and ‘dominant status’ by benevolently and assertively leading a conversation away from conflict. He does of course attempt to obscure the fact that the only conflict is between Lanier of one moment, the reflection of Lanier 5 seconds ago and an appeal for consistency.
I felt my biasses being tugged at artfully, Lanier has a strong personality. In fact, the persistent substitution of manipulation for message was very nearly screaming at me. Put anywhere near a project that was likely to succeed in achieving an AGI and that guy would be extremely dangerous. I’m sure there are half a dozen ethical injunctions that I don’t know about against what I would do should that circumstance arise.
