The two petitions should be similarly formatted and side-by-side with links to each other. If I write the text, will you make a "Chinese copy" of your present petition, only replacing the present text with my new text. Of course I welcome minor editing to keep the "look and feel" of the two petitions as nearly identical as possible. This would require two minor mods to your present petition, 1. the ability for people to change their minds and "sign" the other peitition, and 2. adding a hypperlink to the other petition. Now, we must both be wondering if a 3rd position will emerge. > > When I was thinking about making my Vis5D system > open source in 1989, I weighed possible good and > and bad consequences.

The BIG questions are the three big disaster scenarios: 1. Long before a functional AGI is built, that some crazy in or out of government will come to imprison or kill us. 2. If and when an AGI is built, that it will actually do what people now seek - to preserve their values and in so doing seal the fate of the human race. 3. That in abandoning our values, that a future AGI will find good reason to enslave or kill us all. #1 above appears to be mitigated by "flying below the RADAR" which involves NOT floating petitions. #2 above appears to be mitigated by working on civilizations' challenges BEFORE there is an AGI. #3 above appears to be mitigated by sloooowing down the development and early deployment process, which open source would ruin. Anyway, will you create a side-by-side reverse petition if I do (most of) the writing? *Steve* ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/10443978-6f4c28ac Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?&; Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com -- Full employment can be had with the stoke of a pen.
