First, there are scenarios where human race is standing on the edge of extinction, but somehow ables to fight back and surive, call that Skynet scenario.
Skynet is no realistic scenario.
After someone goes out and films Clippy: The Movie, will we be also prevented from using Clippy as shorthand for a specific hypothetical AI scenario?
I've been returning to my "reduced impact AI" approach, and currently working on some idea.
What I need is some ideas on features that might distinguish between an excellent FAI outcome, and a disaster. The more abstract and general the ideas, the better. Anyone got some suggestions? Don't worry about quality at this point, originality is more prized!
I'm looking for something generic that is easy to measure. At a crude level, if the only options were "papercliper" vs FAI, then we could distinguish those worlds by counting steel content.
So basically some more or less objective measure that has a higher proportion of good outcomes than the baseline.
