I've been thinking about it by moving domains: Imagine that, instead of communicating by electromagnetic or sound waves, we encoded information into the DNA of custom microbes and exchanged them. Would there be any safe way to talk about even the specifics of why a certain bioweapon couldn't be discussed?
I don't think there is. At some point in weaponized conversation, there's a binary choice between inflicting it on people and censoring it.
Like the descoladores!
Hah, I didn't realize someone else had already imagined it. Generalizing from multiple, independently-generated fictional evidence?
Awesome reply, thanks :-)
Didn't know about this either, thanks Alicorn.
I wonder how the SIAI is going to resolve that problem if it caused nightmares inside the SIAI itself. Is EY going to solve it all by himself? If he was going to discuss it, then with whom, since he doesn't know who's strong enough beforehand? That's just crazy. Time will end soon anyway, so why worry I guess. Bye.
