I hope to live to see that day that a) we’re successful at facilitating an AI with the proper qualities and b) they want respect, despite attempts to keep it out of their programming.

You want absolute libertarian free will. I want degrees of freedom. Metaphor: From the perspective of the inside of a sphere, the inner surface is infinite. You tell me from the inside of your sphere “We are all inside spheres”. I say, “I know but our surface within is infinite from the affordances provided by the subjectively infinite inner sphere we have available”. That’s our difference. I don’t cry ’cause I can’t breath in outer space.

But who the heck isn’t hypocritical in some fashion? This “I’m immune from being a hypocrite because ‘I’ speak The Truth” is ridiculous.
This is why it … [read full article]
I think I see where you’re going but it’s a throwing the baby out with the dirty bathwater. This is where I think you strayed: ” Because there is no strict criteria [since all general rules differ in distinct fields] – it renders the paradigm entirely arbitrary, ergo: should there even be rule in these cases?” You have domains. Within each of those domains there are general guidelines or heuristics. “Rules of thumb”. They have fuzzy boundaries because they do not capture every instance. But because every instance isn’t captured, this does not then render the heuristic “entirely” arbitrary, or even arbitrary. Rather, it is imperfect. If you understand the principals that lie BEHIND the heuristic, you can compensate, which might require – in that instance – not using the heuristic in that instance. It also might require modifying the heuristic or replacing it if common exceptions show patterns. Or, you can teach the exceptions and the rules together., capturing even more than the original rule alone could. It becomes a series of “if/then” or “case” statements at that point, which is good programming.

Volume though. How many cars on the road each day logging hours with how many drivers in how many diverse conditions vs google cars? And the fact is, it *has* to be close to perfect. It’s allowing a new species to drive that has no stake in human life or property outside its programming. Trust is a hard won commodity.

I put 27000 of my little writings through a library AI autoclassifier to determine what subjects I was probably talking about. It’s old research now – I did it in 2015 – and was from 1989-2015 posts/comments I’d made and found and collected and processed, picked only subjects with a 53% or higher confidence level. Here’s my brain from 1989-2015 in Dewey decimal categories:
