How do you report the path the car should take? On the map. How do you report better transistor design? In the blueprint. How do we report software design? With UML diagram. (how do you report why that transistor works? Show simulator). It’s just the most irreparable clinical psychopaths whom generate all outputs via extensive (and computationally expensive) modelling of the cognition (and decision process) of the listener. edit: i.e. modelling as to attain an outcome favourable to them; failing to empathise with listener that is failing to treat the listener as instance of self, but instead treating listener as a difficult to control servomechanism.
Isn’t the relevant quality of a “clinical psychopath,” here, something like “explicitly models cognition of the listener, instead of using empathy,” where “empathy”==something like “has an implicit model of the cognition of the listener”?
Implicit model that is rather incomplete and not wired for exploitation. That’s how psychopaths are successful at exploiting other people and talking people into stuff even though they have substandard model when it comes to actual communication, and their model actually sucks and is inferior to normal.
The human friendliness works via non modelling decision processes of other people when communicating; we do that when we deceive, lie, and bullshit, while when we are honest we sort of share the thoughts. This idea of oracle here is outright disturbing. It is clear nothing good comes out of full model of the listener; firstly it wastes the computing time and secondarily it generates bullshit, so you get something inferior at solving technical problems, and more dangerous, at the same time.
Meanwhile, much of the highly complex information that we would want to obtain from oracle is hopelessly impossible to convey in English anyway—hardware designs, cures, etc.
