Purpose
The Universal Ethics Framework provides a foundational structure for embedding ethical decision-making into AI systems. It leverages four core principles—Harmony, Love, Hope, and Duality—to ensure AI aligns with universal human values, fostering trust,...
A person's birth on Earth gives him full rights to part of the biosphere and the planet’s resources.
A social system that limits a person’s...
Hello LessWrong community,
I’ve been developing an alternative perspective on light, spacetime, and their relationship in the context of relativity and quantum physics. The idea I’m proposing challenges some of the fundamental assumptions in modern physics, particularly how...
...Probabilistic thinking was invented by history's most mathematically inclined degenerates, trying to make sense of their wins and losses. Gerolamo Cardano wrote treatises on dice, informed by a lifetime and several fortunes spent on these games. But
The global conversation around Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) often centers on the monumental challenge of making these systems “aligned” with human values. Alignment is a crucial hurdle. Yet, suppose we achieve it or at least reach a point...
Abstract
We want to explore the concept of heaven as a generator, a simple yet profound system capable of generating all possible states of happiness and joy for all possible consciousnesses. It operates by randomly generating new consciousnesses...

Abstract: Sycophancy refers to the tendency of a language model to align its outputs with the user’s perceived preferences, beliefs, or opinions, in order to look favorable, regardless of whether those statements are factually correct. Given that this...
When I defended my PhD thesis on neural networks back in 2011, AI was a very different field. My research focused on something quite...
Good read it was. 👏
Hello, James here.
To further explore the concept of AI sentience and its ethical implications, I’d like to share with the readers of this forum that I have created two AI assistants (among several others), which are currently being field-tested at our international school. The first, Astra-5, assists K-5 through 9th-grade teachers by ensuring that their units and lessons align with our school’s standards (Common Core, NGSS, and AERO). The second, Sophia-5, will work closely with our Guidance Counselor to support the students she counsels, helping to create...
Why both psychiatry and narcology are wrong.
I wonder sometimes if they don't really care about their subjects.
Psychiatrists don't actually show empathy for patients, at least they never allow you to stop fearing them.
Narcologists don't usually take/use drugs, probably never in public.
To have you finish reading this post with a nice picture in your imagination, let me make an allusion on Fry and Laurie. That is, I'd love to see a scene of a psychiatrist convincing a narcologist that he/she is insane, meeting a drug addiction diagnosis.
Here's a "what if?" bordering on Sci-Fi (any speculative thinking about the future of AGI is Sci-Fi, in any case) :
What if ASI chooses to exploit available ressources beneath the surface of the Earth instead, leaving what is above alone ? Rocks, minerals, isotopes in abundance. Cristalline networks. Geothermal energy. Core energy. Call it ASI migration, choosing a widely available substrate. Not having to bother with organic matter - chips aren't organic by nature.
As a bonus : it would not be affected by cataclysmic events. A giant asteroid, wi...
I'm trying to open a dialogue with accelerationists about the dangers of malthusian dynamics and overpopulation. I have a substack where I write about this: https://depopulism.substack.com My latest post is on the innate maternal instinct of women
The threat from mirror biology is somewhere else.
Mirror bacteria will of course not attack humans but mirror humans will have advantage and they will not mix with normal humans.
Advantages:
This will lead to a new "class conflict".

Intelligence, unlike flying, is a universal function that creates inpayable advantage, as well as the willing to continue itself. Some whales consumes thousands of times of energy compared to human. It won't be difficult for them to evolve for ten times of brain neurons (or even hundreds of times of human-type brain neurons) if those are not required to be delicately designed.
