Samples
  • "What You Do In The Dark"
gollark: Can you not have a *sophont* paperclip maximizer in this universe then?
gollark: Are you just meant to act *as if* they are? Because that doesn't sound very... accurate to reality.
gollark: I remember reading about the AI box thing, but I don't know how it's meant to actually work as an experiment, given that the people are presumably aware that the other person is *not* a superintelligent AI and cannot do much to them.
gollark: Or do you mean they wouldn't be *obviously* perversions?
gollark: What? You can totally have "rational" in the sense of "really good at achieving its goals" or something, and still have goals very misaligned with what people want.
