Am am quite possible to flood myself with happiness. I do not need LSD for that. And I assume that it can be as addictive. I assume that I am as able to flood myself with sadness and dread. And I fear the consequences. Thus taking LSD or doing the AI box experiment are not that differnt for me. As I said that is my weak spot.
I thought that the answer to the ‘other person’ question is implied by my post. I’ll bear a lot if other people esp. those I care for are suffering.
After rot13 I better understand your question. You seem to imply that if I bear the AI experiment some funding will go to suffering people. Trading suffering in a utilitarian sense. Interesting. No. That does seem to weigh up.
