Isn’t this expected from Effective Altruism?   There will be people sacrificed..

Sadly, there are some hidden elements to all that techno-optimism. E.g.

sounds like the "woke mob" is interfering with patriotic bestial pedophiles who 
are just exercising their first, second, maybe fifth and just in case, the 
ninth amendment rights? ...

Every time I respond to a Captcha challenge, I feel as if I'm being conscripted 
to help train an image recognition ML model.   And do we know how (not if) 
OpenAI, et alii are using *our questions* to train a new (subset of) model?

I totally agree that realizable behavior is what matters.

The elephant in the room is whether AI (and robotics of course) will (not to

come up with creative solutions to not only the world's most pressing problems 
but also small creative things like writing poems, and then to do the mental 
and physical tasks required to provide goods and services to all in the world,

Sam Altman said there are two things that will shape our future; intelligence 
and energy. If we have real abundant intelligence and energy, the world will be 
very different indeed.

"intelligence and energy have been the fundamental limiters towards most things 
we want. A future where these are not the limiting reagents will be radically 
different, and can be amazingly better."

    Definitions are all fine and good, but realizable behavior is what matters. 
  Analog computers will have imperfect behavior, and there will be leakage 
between components.   A large network of transistors or neurons are 
sufficiently similar for my purposes.   The unrolling would be inside a skull, 
so somewhat isolated from interference.

    I don't quite grok that. A crisp definition of recursion implies no 
interaction with the outside world, right? If you can tolerate the ambiguity in 
that statement, the artifacts laying about from an unrolled recursion might be 
seen and used by outsiders. That's not to say a trespasser can't have some 
sophisticated intrusion technique. But unrolled seems more "open" to family, 
friends, and the occasional acquaintance.
