The new one gets a lot more variety, but hits on clever stuff with a lower frequency. I ran it for a while and only got a few worth sharing:

  • Universal friendship is a/an hugging maxemizer.
  • Paperclips is truly part of a/an corrupted upload of Pinkie Pie.

Yea, I got that feeling to. :(

Have you updated it since? It seems to be getting a lot better! After I started recording good ones, I got:

  • You know what a/an improperly-programmed upload of Pinkie Pie say: one person's torture is another person's rationality.
  • Corrupted Pinkie Pie would tile the universe with hypotheses.
  • The twenty fiveth virtue of rationality is "Beware of the utility function of any improperly-programmed General Arteficial Intelegences".
  • Subjective physics is not rationality.
  • What are your priors on if a/an General Arteficial Intelegence once said: "look, just rejecting the sanity waterline and the planning fallacy doesn't make someone a/an Friendly upload of Eliezer Yudowsky."?
  • This may sound a bit crazy right now, but hear me out: that which can be destroyed by a/an human should be.
  • Before Lukeprog goes to sleep, it scans it's computer for uploaded copies of a/an Unfriendly upload of Lukeprog.
  • This may sound a bit crazy right now, but hear me out: corrupted Omega is vulnerable to acausal infanticide.

(These are still at about the level of the results in my previous comment, but I got them a lot more frequently.)

Nope. Either you're choosing from a larger sample this time or it's just luck.

Another awesome one:

  • you make a compelling argument that a/an Unfriendly upload of Omega would tile the universe with rationality if and only if a/an rationalist is an aspiring god
