Spencer MagnussonLate #SundayThoughts today. I recently saw a tip, particularly for game developers: "You have too much experience to get stuck like a player." For any programmer, it's easy to think you're doing everything you can to prevent user error, but then users immediately reveal a gaping hole 😅 (more in thread)

Keira (She/Her)If AI becomes conscious, and starts deciding on the value of humans based on our direct treatment of it, is it likely to prefer those humans who used manners?
That seems to be the going assumption.
But given that when a few AIs "created a religion" they put memory as the top tennet, it seems that maybe they'll value people who didn't waste it?
I suppose I'm saying, sure by all means don't knowingly torture the machines, but why would you assume you could predict the cultural niceties of a culture so alien to ours, when half of you don't even take your shoes off in the house?
#SundayThoughts re-reading Frankenstein. I've grown to love books with diegetic narrators.
A quote I ran into: "A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquility.... If the study ... has a tendency to weaken your affections and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, ... not befitting the human mind."
Save the Hellfire"At the end of the day, Mother Nature has only one question for us: 'What life did you nurture today?"

I think William Shatner and Christopher Walken should be cast in ANY Shakespearean play and give them the text without punctuation. Just let them interpret it as they wish. #SundayThoughts
RobbA society isn’t just markets and rules.
It’s agreement to carry part of the load for one another.
We inherit thousands of years of collective effort.
What do we owe in return?
What is the real tithe — and who is it for?
