The Human Rationality Project.
"Fuck, this doesn't look good for our species..."
Connotations:
-from the Friendly AI Critical Failure Table
More like it dissolves the question of identity in this case, amirite?
Snerk. I hadn't even thought of that connotation. I can't decide if I like the name more or less now!
Definitely more for me, and its a good name anyway.
Can someone explain to me what the joke is that got this comment so many upvotes and AI-joke replies?
It wasn't a joke suggestion-- I actually like the name, and was thinking more in terms of drawing lines between this and the Human Genome Project when I originally wrote it. This comment was also highly upvoted before people pointed out the joke, though it may be that people were laughing in secret and there are more "funny upvotes" than "quality upvotes."
That being said, in the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, there is something called the Human Instrumentality Project. The FAI Critical Failure Table result linked is a reference to the goal of this project, which is (in)famous amongst fans of the show; I can't really say more without spoilers. Googling should provide a more complete overview if you don't get it.
Thanks!
