"OpenAI is not suddenly one of the best-resourced nonprofits ever. From the public's perspective, OpenAI may be one of the worst financially performing nonprofits in history, having voluntarily transferred more of the public's entitled value to private interests than perhaps any charitable organization ever."

[Vojin Rakić @vojiner]

I argue that morality, happiness and love are in a triple circularly supportive relationship, which implies that happiness and love are the key grounding rationales for moral (bio)enhancement.

Couldn't agree more

[Vojin Rakić @vojiner]

Understanding historical processes instead of historical personalities.

[Yuval Noah Harari @harari_yuval]

We don’t have time for understanding if we rush to judge reality. History is not a simple story of good versus evil.

"Could humans ever COLONIZE exo-planets?

For us to truly colonize distant worlds, we would need breakthroughs like propulsion systems that can travel at a significant fraction of the speed of light."

.... OR WE CAN TRAVEL IN TOME, ONCE WE COMPREHEND MULTIDIMENSIONAL TIME....

[Anders Sandberg @anderssandberg]

One of the coolest projects of @AIObjectives is Talk to the City. Can we use AI to elicit people's preferences and views at scale, in order to align decision-makers with the interests of the population?

[Vojin Rakić @vojiner]

Notions of previous, existing and future universes make only sense if we accept the commonsensical notion of one-dimensional time. Otherwise, Penrose's (alleged) hypothesis is clearly wrong.

The big question is whether this extraterrestrial life is superior to human life.
Cognitively superior and morallly superior.
