The problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.

otherwise we would just switch it off

If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.

A paperclip maximizer driven by self-preservation? What could possiblie go wrong?

No, it’s “re” like the subject of an email. “Re: diculous”

30 years ago my music teacher told me that in Chinese-language singing it’s the consonants that are sustained.

Nice try, Javert.

Are there examples of censorship or prior restraint you’d like to highlight?

It’s enjoyable, but I’ve never been really engaged with it. There’s no progression, I don’t feel like my character, equipment, or ships are getting better even though I’m upgrading things. No planet is special, even though they’re all unique.

I think it would be better if you started out in a “settled” region with interesting factions, hand-designed planets, optional quest lines, etc. The infinite procedurally generated stuff would come into play if you push beyond the edges of known space.

It may be possible…

It may not be necessary…

Californian. No.

It wouldn’t solve any problems that can’t be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven’t had to worry about before. It’d be a net loss for everyone involved.

Some have stopped working, like SteamLink, but others still work. I know it’s just a matter of time.

Mine can because it also has Netflix, Hulu, etc. built in.

If a motorcycle has to be ear-splittingly loud for “safety”, then it’s too dangerous to be road legal.

Arguably, that’s what happened. The three estates (noble/clergy/commoner) were summoned by the king to an Estates General to discuss political changes, which led to the establishment of revolutionary government.

I am tired of lies.
