What was the second topic? I am most interested in knowing just what things are forbidden.
It was about the possibility of torturing someone by creating copies of the person and torturing them.
If I'm thinking of the right post, it's another one that involved AI and torture, though from a very different angle than Roko's post. It was a dialogue between a human and a uFAI; I don't quite remember what points it was trying to make, but if we're talking about what could affect people with OCD/anxiety conditions, then it's probably just the "uFAI talking about torturing people" aspect that was deemed problematic anyway.
Ahh, I remember the one. It was titled "What do you choose? 3^^^3 people being tortured for 50 years or some E. coli in the eye?" uFAIs in counterfactuals do evil things in contrived scenarios. It's what they do.
Oh, wow, I don't think I saw that one. I guess that makes three banned AI-torture posts, then?
Edit: The one I was thinking of was "Acausal torture? But a scratch, in the multiverse. (A dialogue for human and UFAI)".
