“In our society, this common currency of expected utilons is called “money”. It is the measure of how much society cares about something.”
“This is a brutal yet obvious point, which many are motivated to deny.”
“With this audience, I hope, I can simply state it and move on.”
Yes but only to an extent. If we start to spend the heck out of our money to incite a care bear care-a-thon, we would only be destroying what we have worked for. Rather, it is other causes that allow spending to either be a measure or not of caring.
So I don’t like the way the essay ends.
Furthermore, it is more to the point to say it is reasonable that we all care about money and so will AI. That is the nature of money, it is intrinsic to it.
You mean Money is the Unit of Caring ? :)
