If you have interesting questions about AIs, or about life, please bring them to my attention! Maybe I’ll blog about some of these!

  • TG: Would it be better if the USA was the only country with nukes?
  • TG: we have survived nukes thus far, just based on the “no one chooses to use them” principle. Why are you so pessimistic that a multi-polar situation where multiple countries have AI couldn’t just be fine based on the “no one chooses to use them to do large amounts of harm” principle?
  • AW: What (if anything) is the difference between threats and rewards?
    • Should you ever make threats?
  • AW: How impervious to blackmail should you be?
    • For the record (i.e., for anyone considering trying to blackmail me :]), my current stance is that I will not respond to any blackmail attempts.
    • Also blackmail might not really be the right word for the concept I’m thinking of. Maybe “threats” is the right word.
