It sounds like the Abrahamic cults, whose tentacles are all over the western world.
All Muslim women and children and NO men whatsoever should be allowed to immigrate.
I’m actually a huge fan of death. People don’t change their minds generally. They just die. We make progress one funeral at a time.

If someone checks “US average income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are rich.
-
If someone checks “US median income” they’ll come away with the impression that Americans are poor.
Median is not the same as average. Also, we don’t check math definitions in a dictionary, since we are not in middle school.
I’m not being pedantic, you’re just wrong. The average income in the US is deceptively high, whereas the median is quite low. This difference (or skew) is a sign of inequality.
The arithmetic mean, also called the average, or the expected value, is not the same type of calculation as the median.
There are many types of means or averages (harmonic, geometric, etc), but they all require a summation, an integral for continuous random variables and sigma notation for discrete. The median is the middle value. Totally different.
Low median* income. The income distribution is skewed since a handful of people have all the money.
Also don’t forget this:
He shortened his life by at least a decade. We should express our appreciation.
Give the man a Darwin Award.
They’re just using the terminology that’s widespread in the field. In a sense, the paper’s purpose is to prove that this terminology is unsuitable.
With a few notable exceptions (such as medicine), the more financially rewarding the job, the less hard you have to work. In fact, that’s the whole point of getting a career! By cultivating some rare skillset, you can do less work for more money. People don’t go into finance or consulting to “work hard.”
I urge anyone who doubts these results to test them on people they know. Yes, Americans, even those with college degrees, are incomprehensibly ignorant.
I found it unbelievable as well so I tested these questions on college and graduate students. Answers were in range. CS majors literally believed that 40% of Americans are black and a third of the population lives in Texas.
What a person needs to answer correctly is sociocultural awareness.
Oh my god. So the machine won’t do terrible immoral things because they are unpopular on the internet. Well ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.
My explanations were succinct and simple. If they’re still over your head, sadly I lack the talent to simplify the science and math any further.
Maybe try reading a book?
Why do you talk about shit you don’t understand with such utter confidence? Being a fucking moron has to be the chillest way to go through the world.
Why do you expect an unthinking, non-deliberative zombie process to know what you mean by “empower humanity”? There are facts about what is GOOD and what is BAD that can only be grasped through subjective experience.
When you tell it to reduce harm, how do you know it won’t undertake a course of eugenics? How do you know it won’t see fit that people like you, by virtue of your stupidity, are culled or sterilized?
if I'm wrong list a task that a conscious being can do that an unconscious one is unable to accomplish.
These have been listed repeatedly: love, think, understand, contemplate, discover, aspire, lead, philosophize, etc.
There are, in fact, very few interesting or important things that a non-thinking entity can do. It can make toast. It can do calculations. It can design highways. It can cure cancer. It can probably fold clothes. None of this shit is particularly exciting. Just more machines doing what they’re told. We want a machine that can tell us what to do, instead. That’s AGI. We don’t know how to build such a machine, at least given our current understanding of mathematical logic, theoretical computer science, and human cognition.
