Description

Distribution
gollark: Would any of the AI art things actually make it that clean and symmetrical?
gollark: > We are so still at number 1. Is humanity worthy of unlimited power? I’ve heard Larry Page believes the AIs are our children and know more about righteousness than we do. But even early Yudkowsky writings understood this makes no sense, and that superintelligence doesn’t imply supermorality.
gollark: It just says stupid things too.
gollark: That blog post explicitly mentions the orthogonality thing.
gollark: Basedness is measured in pH, actually.
