Frankly without a willingness to educate oneself about implementation details, the philosophizing is pointless. Maybe this is a wakeup call for me to go find a better community :\

I was hoping more of a study technical AI details and post about them here, but whatever works. If you do find a better community, post a note here somewhere.

EDIT: Who created the StarDestroy AI mini-FAQ? Do we know their real-world identity?

Michael Wilson, looks like.

My goal is to enact a positive singularity. To that end I'm not convinced of the instrumentality of educating people on the interwebs, given other things I could be doing.

I had thought that a community with a tight focus on 'friendly AGI' would be interested in learning, and discussing how such an AGI might actually be constructed, or otherwise getting involved in some way. If not, I don't think it's worth my time to correct this mistake.
