once flipped the box experiment and made ey the jailor. he blocked me immediately and forever.

I am suggesting your comment implied to me you still compare AIs with humans a bit too much. We work to make software able to solve the set of problems it was designed for. This applies for Hello World, and for Singleton.
ArisKatsaris, I did not say “intentional”, and if I did, I would not mean it in quite the way you do. But I would mean it in an analogous way to our intentionality. Why did you insert this word?
This is another call for respectful dialog on the topic. Takers?
A brief word on credentials. I am a 23/24-year “veteran” of the software industry. I have worked on many types of software at Microsoft, and on simulation and optimization at Electronic Arts. I am an information scientist first, and an “armchair” theoretical physicist (with a pet TOE), and a hands-on consciousness researcher.
Thank you for the civil dialog.
Take google maps. On one end, it interacts through road sensors. On the other end, it serves us by telling about traffic.
This refers to my previous reply to you. Did you see it? Did you see the poetry, too? Why or why not?
It has helped me to conceptualize how a team and development process arrive at the shipping version of a software product. By seeing the process and outcome more clearly, it helps get where we are going more efficiently.
Appears so, so far.
A hint, before I leave you for awhile to actually read what I wrote. Dogma blinds us. The junk we put in our bodies hampers us. Egotism about what we think we know limits us. Egotism may lead you to believe these things have nothing to do with you, AI, or my words above, which is even yet more egotism. But if you do not understand the connection, you will be more limited than you dream.
We feel smart when our mind-set is self consistent, and answers most of the questions we’ve had so far. We must learn to ask New questions.
Oh, I almost forgot. Thank you all for helping me to shorten this to its essentials, though you did so in a way I would call unworthy of the idea.
And? This is about not expecting AIs to be like humans, but to be like, well, AIs. Artificial deciders.
Cars have eyes that emit more light than they take in. What would happen if you did the opposite, but with words? Serious question.
Look for people who need your kindness. Things will open up for you.
I’m disappointed by the rudeness and lack of real dialog. I expected more from this community. I still get value from LessWrong, but I’ve moved on to mature groups on Facebook now, populated by elder physicists and mathematicians.
Yes. Social skills. And the people itself is a process.
A process that computes.
Y / N / Cancel?
I have had many attacks. I survived them all.
You know not what I think. Did that sound mystical too? I only omitted one word, and swapped 2.
This at least is empirical.
I find it extremely useful. It has enabled me to make massive progress on a software project.
I first began to think this way while a Software Engineer at Microsoft. What’s your background, SolveIt?
Why not in an AI like way? Turing’s child-processes are so much closer to us than a rock. Would you care to rephrase?
I don’t want to taboo AI at this time. It is too universal a term. And that AI = Software is my central thesis, so I will not taboo that.
