The last I heard, computers are spied upon because of the language the computer is generating. Why would the government care about the guy that "picks up garbage"?

If you feet guilty about something then you will feel that your ethical values are being compromised. Technology is without a doubt the age of the future If you have posted, said or done, chances are if will come and haunt you. The only way to change the algorithms is to change the thoughts. Just my thoughts, let me know what you think. Anna:) On 10/25/06, Richard Loosemore <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

The purpose of the essay was to establish that this alternative approach to creating a "friendly" AI would be both viable and (potentially) extremely stable. It is a very different approach to the one currently thought to be the only method, which is to prove properties of the AI's goal system mathematically .... a task that many consider impossible. By suggesting this alternative I am saying that mathematical proof may be impossible, but guarantees of very strong kind may well be possible. As you probably know, many people (including me) are extremely concerned that AI be developed safely.
