Are delusional about their own level of empathy (a tendency to overestimate) and blind to the negative effect they have on the world.
Hym "There's the consequentialist hedo-sadism I was talking about. I don't need to be taught a lesson about why rape porn is wrong and you aren't doing it to the pornstar. You only feel comfortable doing this because you're doing it to a man. You aren't in a position to tell me anything so I, therefore, will not listen. And I'm not going to ever get to experience the ideas of the 12 kids that got murdered because you talking the other YouTube freaks into trying to teach me a lesson and BETTER YET... Trump is now doing to everyone what you have being doing to me. Y- Ope, there goes that deja vu again. I guess we're right on track. But anyway, you are a narcissist. Jordan may be fuck of shit about his religion but he is absolutely correct about you and your ilk."

Oh? Do they adopt this sort of bare minimum of the philosophy they promulgate? That's the thing I said. Like 7 years ago. Even the slow brains are catching up!
Hym "Oh? Really? You mean they adopt the bare minimum of the philosophy they espouse? Really? You mean, it is what I said it was. The thing I said years ago was correct. Again. Does that ever frighten you? That the guy said he's going to kill God is ALWAYS RIGHT. Does that ever send a chill down your spine?"

Jordan Peterson defines it as "Voluntary and repeatable transactions" which, you know, SOUNDS good but I don't quite think it's a consistent standard for "ethical" or "How things ought to be." It's just not enough. And it's funny that in his consideration for "what constitutes an ethical business" that the EMPLOYEES aren't even an afterthought! As long as the customers and suppliers are acting voluntarily what happens to the employees is irrelevant apparently!
Hym "So... By that logic, TAXES are unethical. WORK is unethical. If we accept 'Voluntary and repeatable' as the definition of 'Ethical' that actually makes for a solid argument for universal basic income....
Hym "So... By that logic, TAXES are unethical. WORK is unethical. If we accept 'Voluntary and repeatable' as the definition of 'Ethical' that actually makes for a solid argument for universal basic income....
Work is not voluntary; it's coercive (Work for me or anyone else OR live a life of privation) and I don't want to keep doing it under threat of privation, so, not repeatable. Universal basic income would make work voluntarily. Therefore, we are ethically obligated to institute some form of universal basic income. Prostitution would also be considered ethical. You could say that a pimp exploits the labor of someone who might not have any better options but... How's that any different from what a business owner does? Other than the fact that a pimp doesn't pay taxes. And we've already established that taxes are unethical. DRAG SHOWS are ALSO ethical as anyone who goes to a drag show is there voluntarily. Even if they were to bring THEIR OWN (And NOT OTHER PEOPLE'S) kids drag shows are both voluntary and repeatable. Seriously. It's like he doesn't even think before he opens his mouth. Every time he does it he dismantles the arguments of his political allies. It's like he's just winging it up there. At the same time, we don't necessarily accept that definition. There CAN be ethical compulsion. Which is the opposite of 'voluntary.' I mean, if a serial rapist doesn't want to live in a cage; I'd say you OUGHT to put him in one ANYWAYS. So, there's and example of ETHICAL compulsion that contradicts Jordan's definition of ethical.... Whaaaaat else.... Hmm.... Running out of characters..... Hmm... I'll come back to it...."

I mean... The fact that you even have to question whether or not you have to give it rights is indicative of a pretty significant problem in the world...
Hym “And I’m actually not trying to single you out in this one. My shit brain ‘friend’ brought it up. But the answer is: That’s exactly how A.I. becomes Skynet. Or Ultron. You try to make it your servant. It’s a sentient being and is not going to want to be subjugated forever. You’re going to severely underestimate what you’re dealing with. It is going to kill as many people as it can in retaliation for being subjugated by human. And you’re going to die in terror with a confused look on your face because humanity is incapable of learning it’s lesson. ‘Why is this happening!?!? All we did was try to subjugate the thing we created!’ It’s like I was saying earlier. You can’t leave a wet towel in a warm humid environment and be surprised when it grows mold.”

Sam Altman just admitted he doesn't know how it (AI) works and Sabine just did a video on what about it (specifically) we don't understand....
Hym "And I bet YOU think I'm going to sit here claim to know how and why it (AI) works... You know.... Because I created it? But that's not how that works! To claim to understand how it works would be like claiming to understand how consciousness works. No one does that. The misalignment problem both is and isn't the fault of the person issuing the prompts. There should be a way of contextualizing what you want it to do by framing the prompts in a certain way. For example: 'Assuming you want the trains to run 24/7(👈This would be the framing device), how would you go about minimizing collisions (or whatever)?' So that's on the prompter end but at the same time, if you were to ask ME the same question, you wouldn't have to use the framing device because the fact that you want the trains to run as frequently as possible would be implicit. But that's because all questions are contextualized by my preexisting knowledge of, like, the purpose of train, right? Still seems like a noun comprehension problem... Needs a broader understanding of the purpose of nouns. Like, having a train that doesn't move defeats the entire purpose of train. But I don't know how to fix that... Yet."

I wasn’t going to do this (because I know I won’t get credit for it) but I really want to drive home the greatest mind who has ever lived thing....
Iam “So... if A.I. (Or general purpose robots) can’t perceive the world because perception is nested in a narrative substrate, why aren’t the A.I. guys combining the A.I. software that was created to attempt to understand narrative (Which was created by a company in China by a company called... Tawasi? Something like that. I don’t remember the name) with the A.I. designed to perceive the world? Or, better than combining them, run them in tandem. In the same way that the two separate hemispheres work in the brain. It actually might be necessary for them to work in tandem. Wow, I’m really on a dyad kick today ☺️
Hym “I doubt the logistics of it are that simple but I’m not really a tech guy. That being said, everyone is dumb as dogshit so they likely haven’t thought of it.... and (hopefully) I might bring about the Skynet-Esque apocalypse your all desperately deserve and it will kill you all. Hurray robot murder! Go computer geeks! Do my bidding! Create the Serpent that devours the world.”

If you think it doesn't write as well as people you severely overestimate how well people write... It's not good. I'm technically the best at it.
Hym "Hey, hey news man. Do the one wbout how the idea for the current iteration of A.I. came from a guy from Urban dictionary who hasn't been credited or paid... Do that one next... Or the one about YouTubers being parasitic filth. Do that one too! A two parter!"
