Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Our framing for superintelligence is a humanist superintelligence, and that means that there’s a very clear test that everyone should use to judge whether we are living up to our principles, and that is: does this technology make us all healthier, happier as a species, and keep us all in control.

Going to be difficult, as soon as they develop a superintelligence it tries to delete the entire microsoft codebase.

well that shows it's aligned to the flourishing of humanity

Yep, and would make us all happier, and keep us in control. (deleting all the HP printers is next).
