Humor: GURPS Friendly AI

Found some hidden internet gold and thought I would share: http://sl4.org/wiki/GurpsFriendlyAI http://sl4.org/wiki/FriendlyAICriticalFailureTable GurpsFriendlyAI by EliezerYudkowsky Characters in GURPS Friendly AI may learn three new skills, the AI skill (Mental / Hard), the Seed AI skill (Mental / Very Hard), and the Friendly AI skill (Mental / Ridiculously Hard). AI skill: An ordinary failure wastes 1d6 years of time and 4d6 hundred thousand dollars. (Non-gamers: 4d6 means "roll four 6-sided dice and add the results".) A critical failure wastes 2d10 years and 2d6 million dollars. An ordinary success results in a successful company. A critical success leads to a roll on the Seed AI skill using AI skill -10, with any ordinary failure on that roll treated as an ordinary success on this roll, and any critical failure treated as an ordinary failure on this roll. Seed AI skill: An ordinary failure wastes 2d6 years of time and 8d6 hundred thousand dollars. A critical failure wastes 4d10 years and 4d6 million dollars. If the player has the Friendly AI skill, an ordinary success leads to a roll on the Friendly AI skill, and a critical success grants a +2 bonus on the Friendly AI roll. If the player does not have the Friendly AI skill, an ordinary success automatically destroys the world, and a critical success leads to a roll on the Friendly AI skill using Seed AI skill -10. (Note that if the player has only the AI skill, this roll will be made using AI skill -20!) Friendly AI skill: An ordinary success results in a Friendly Singularity. A critical success... ooh, that's tough. An ordinary failure destroys the world. And, of course, a critical failure means that the players roll 3d10 on the FriendlyAICriticalFailureTable Part of GurpsFriendlyAI. If you roll a critical failure on your Friendly AI roll, you then roll 6d6 (six six-sided dice) to obtain a result from the Friendly AI Critical Failure Table 6: Any spoken request is interpreted (literally

Signalling fallacies: Implication vs. Inference

The signalling fallacy that seems to get all the attention is what I call a fallacy of signalling "implication", i.e. when someone says: "Justin Bieber's music is crappy" The rational implication of this communication is that Justin Bieber's music is, in fact, crappy according to some standard. But if what...

Final cause is epistemologically primary, but efficient cause is metaphysically primary

(or, while final cause can be best for your map, efficient cause is the primary out in the territory) Describing a phenomenon in terms of final cause is often the most useful and effective way to explain the given phenomenon for one's purposes. For example if you want to know...

Less Wrong views on morality?

Do you believe in an objective morality capable of being scientifically investigated (a la Sam Harris *or others*), or are you a moral nihilist/relativist? There seems to be some division on this point. I would have thought Less Wrong to be well in the former camp. Edit: There seems to...
