'He' and 'she' do not signify endorsement of a person's values in any way. I don't refer to Alicorn as 'it' and she is a deontologist.
Yes, but Alicorn is a person. Clippy isn't a person. It's Clippy's personhood I don't endorse. We should just turn it off, now, before it is too late.
Overcoming Bias / Less Wrong meetup in the San Francisco Bay Area at SIAI House on March 7th, 2010, starting at 7PM.
Eliezer Yudkowsky, Alicorn, and Michael Vassar will be present.
Some other extra guests - Wei Dai, Stuart Armstrong, and Nick Tarleton - will be also be there, following our short Decision Theory mini-workshop.
