Rolf Nelson on AI Beliefs

November 4th, 2007 – Peter de Blanc

Rolf Nelson’s blog, AI Beliefs, discusses how we may be able to use the simulation argument to convince certain unfriendly AIs to give us a nice place to live.

Rather than commiting to run any particular simulations, I have made the following promise:

I commit to think more about this problem in the future, and take whatever action I would have wanted to precommit to taking before the creation of the first AI.

I encourage others to make a similar commitment in public. This would be a good place to post it.
