I left when project managers tried to Taylorize programming.

And not a Dang in sight. Imagine that.

Nope, this is pure dishonesty manifest.

Islam throws gays off of buildings and beheads women. Christian city made you sad one time because your Dad made you go to Church.

Your hopes to prevent analysis of moral arbitrage is nothing more than cheerleader cherry-picking.

The more you impose completeness of morality into a data set, the more inconsistent your results will be.

Gödel arbitrage will be very profitable in the future.

If the host of the documents induces psychological stress, here's a document that explains the triggers and stressors you're enduring.

You'll have to review the rest of the leaked documents to see how algorithmic discrimination methodologies are tied into this. The preceding paragraphs are damning about intent and implication.

Not a single comment from anyone who has actually gone through the documents, like they don't reveal important AI security exploits caused by the "good intentions" of Google's morally superior engineers. Why is that?

Is HackerNews supposed to just assume Google is the paragon of moral supremacy? If so, can we get that written in the TOS so people know what to expect?

Maybe we should burn those old books, just to be safe

Suicide is contagious. DoD proved this in their 2009 study of memetic warfare.

I did my part in preventing such outcomes because I own goldmansachs

Will this solve the problem of my linter running Babel and its hundred plugins completely destroying my CPU just so I can get access to spreads?

A $220 million per shot rod of God can burrow deep. How do you maximize the value of that shot? Wiping out a city? Taking out military target? Pfft, nay.

How can you make a $200M shot free up trillions in liquidity?

You target the bunkers of billionaires and wipe out all of the blackmail they store. That'll justify the high cost per shot eaaily.

If data collection can be sifted to discover behavior of groups...

And groups of people can have that behavior correlated to cultural and ethnic and racial factors...

Then, technically, isn't all of Silicon Valley violating the Civil Rights Acts of the 1960s? For example, let's say black males statistically swipe phones a certain length and certain time... doesn't this mean ads targeting them can be engaging in disparate impact?

Distributed systems also deadlock in ways that local watchdogs can't account for. You still imply the global watchdog of the brain of the systems designer to navigate those problems.

All of your examples require a human homunculus to steer a system away from deadlocking.

The brain doesn't have an architectural homunculus to do that for it, and yet, it does not deadlock in any way resembling the deadlocks we see in computer science.

My question is how did the brain do this without a system architect? How can natural selection have a bias that prevents deadlocking in neural compositions?

And you haven't addressed the implied global scope your hypothetical neural watchdog requires.

Find a global watchdog behaving in the manner you describe within any neural system for any animal at any period in the history of Earth's biosphere.

Find any "neural system resetting" anywhere, in fact.

The autonomic system doesnt have a global observer doing that job. No part of the brain has watchdogs to make sure it keeps doing what it's supposed to be doing. You instantly hit the homunculus problem assuming the brain had another brain watching it because then it would need another brain to watch that, ad infinitum.

Do either of these, say, shut off the nervous system from the lungs or the stomach?

Deadlocking the brain should appear in the underlying autonomous nervous system, but it doesn't. That's very odd.

If the argument that honey is a product of sentient creatures, then so is dirt.

All plants derive from dirt, an animal product of worms.

Does this means vegans ought to starve?

Stumbled across this unique way to make ad exchanges violate Civil Rights legislation. Clever way to hack AI.

The printing press was subsidized by the Catholic Church as a way of reducing costs and increasing spread of their primary asset: the Bible.

They didn't realize this would drive down startup costs of presses by creating more press techniques and technicians looking to acquire new customers. With Church backing, the bar-to-entry for spreading information dropped until anyone could spread information, including anti-Church factions such as the Protestants. This did not end up well for the Church.

The same is true for America, their obsession with spreading democracy, and the transistor AKA the American Printing Press.

Once information propagation becomes cheap, noise floods everything, and trolling is the only effective way to create lasting context.

Study your body like you would a machine or a program or a puzzle. Understand how your muscles respond to stimuli. Figure out how your nerves transmit intensity. Discover what forces your body to move against your will. Given your submersion in the hormonal hilarity that is puberty, you're going to spend a lot of time on autopilot, so step back and observe your body being commanded by primal forces.

Once you build this map, you can begin to monitor and track how external factors drive you. Memes, TV, movies, music, conversation... all signals designed to persuade and hijack your behavior. Spending time here will give you much needed clarity of self and begin laying the foundation of empathy for others.

Friends appear once you have this map as you will have unintentionally filtered out those who will exploit the unexplored regions of you.

Good luck.

Given the shockingly naive comments about drone disabling being proposed, I'm going to assume only a very tiny handful of people who visit this site has ever flown or seen a drone before. Let's cure some of this naivety:

- GPS jamming doesn't jam video feed.

- Wifi and radio jamming doesn't stop landmark-driven/return-to-home navigation.

- UK refusal to fire on the craft is absurd because rubber bullets, simunitions, and less-than-lethal rounds are more than capable of destabilizing the hull and structure of the craft... while inflicting no damage on distant landed craft or personnel. (I wouldn't expect HN to know this, tbh)

-Sending piles of off-the-shelf consumer drones up to ram into it would have been sufficient as well.

Because of those last two points, the bumbling incompetence of UK security forces suggests to me that this event is purely pretext for even more rigid anti-drone legislation in a country that already has extreme anti-drone legislation. If true, then the question is, "What has changed that has made Airstrip One suddenly paranoid about drones?"

I posted about fusing Neanderthal brains to spiking neural networks here once. A HN poster threatened to get the Pope to stop me.

You have no idea how much more powerful neurology is over machine learning.

Schwartzchild Proton

Minor modifications to your genome miss the mark. We didn't master metallurgy to gently carve our names into tree bark. We plow entire forests.

Arms races exist regardless of your preference for narrative. The Chinese have zero concerns for forging chimera for any purpose they choose. That's the reality right now. Meanwhile, the Western response is to empower moral supremacists who all believe we're one random CRISPR event from an accidental Holocaust. It's neurotic paranoia rooted exclusively in cultural instability and it's for children.

Neanderthals aren't human for the same reason celery isn't human. Just because we may have a shared genetic branch (sharing in genomic expression is a ton more complicated than linear composition comparison) does not grant the entire mass of biology with human rights. Fighting for the human rights of non-humans is misguided bourgeoisie neurosis at best when you consider the entirety of human suffering that exists within a 500 foot radius of whereever you may be. Your desperate conflation to associate Neanderthals with, wow, the mentally disabled precisely proves my point.

Some science on the matter, which I suspect will have little influence on the subject (Never doubt the ability of moral supremacists to anthropomorphize): https://cosmosmagazine.com/biology/no-human-dna-found-in-nea...

Stuck backing the Catholic horse, eh? How many Neanderthals have been baptized and why has the Church clearly denied the noble Neanderthal such divine access to God's love? Perhaps a retcon is in order and we can throw in the Austropithicine for good measure. This, of course, presupposes an agreement that there were "humans" before Adam or that homosapien evolution is valid. Genesis is going to take a hit here, one way or another...

My question still remains: Precisely how many neurons count as sentience, or are we Overton Window dancing to see if we can start with a "all neurons are sacred" policy?

Neanderthals aren't legally human and organoids do not have awareness in the manner you are attempting to establish. Interestingly, a network of organiods, connected via neuromorphic arbiters, could provide some interesting intepretations of awareness, especially when the organoids cross species lines.

From a national security perspective, the West has to get over its crippling squeamishness on all things genomics or else the Chinese will completely dominate the neuromorphic space.

From a moral perspective, if you are concerned about stopping slavery, I recommend tackling actual instances of it, such as the open air slave markets in Libya or addressing the valid concerns of any one of the hundreds of millions of rural Chinese.

From an ethical standpoint, there are a couple federally funded institutions that traffic stem cells who could use some spotlight in them.

I'm unsure if a religious institution mired in worldwide pedophilia accusations is the right party you want to associate with to stop this. I recommend stepping off the soapbox for a moment and try explaining, precisely, how many neurons are required for the sentience you are describing. Is it 1? 10? 1,345?

Quantifying sentience is your burden. Blanket policies of "all neurons are sacred" are prematurely alarmist.

Binding them to Neanderthal organiods. Yes, we have plans to do exactly this.
