From the Friendly AI pages:
How do you keep a self-modifying AI from modifying the goal system?
You don't! If the AI stops wanting to be Friendly, you've already lost. Work with the AI's ability to self-modify - not against it. The task is to get the AI to see undesirable modifications as undesirable - not to prevent the AI from modifying the goal system.
We're doomed if that's the best defense against rogue AI.
Haven't these persons heard of Carl Gustave Jung? Once again we have the technonauts foolishly ignoring the "interior" dimension of consciousness, and focusing on nothing but, "exteriors."
No matter what these programmers say, or do, what Jung called "shadow" complexes will be "trojaned" into the programming, or hardware construction. Unconcious "shadow" complexes, are "unconscious" to conscious processes, unless you do serious work with pschycoanalyisis to bring them to concious awareness.
There is no way, no how, that some anthromorphic features will not get into the A1 system. The damn thing is being created by humans, so of course it will have human aspects.
This is the kind of AI theorizing you get when the researchers ignore the "interior" dimensions of human consciousness. Once again, it is atheistic, flatland, technopoly driven research, that subtlely, and not so subtlety, trashes human nature; that displays a contempt for all that is human, and that sees human beings as machines, and nothing else.
It is chilling.
The H-Bomb is an exteriorization of a communal, or collective "shadow" complex; the result of our self-destructive tendecy to "project" our individual "shadows" onto to someone else, to anyone else.
The atheist scientists do not believe in a creator God, so as a "projective" compensation they are building a machine that will have as many characteristics as the creator God. They still desire, and secretly wish, for a God; so they construct a similcrum of God.
All human beings have a built in religious impulse, a desire for communion with God. This has been proven both in the exterior, and in the interior, by neuroscientists, and by psychologists, and advanced spiritual contemplaters.
The atheists deny it's existence, or if not deny it entirely, use only "exterior" science to dismiss the "interior" dimesion as merely a material epihenomenon of a feature of the brain; the God spot.
The evil robot, and AI, movies are wiser, in their message, than almost all of the AI researchers put together. Of course these movies are made to bring in money, but the gut message of these films connects with the intuitions of the audience; a fear that the scientists are hood-winking themselves, bamboozling themselves.
There is a good possibility, due to the AI researchers almost total ignorance, and comtempt, for serious "interior" studies, that we will end up with a kind of, "metaphorically" speaking, H-Bomb with Artificial Intelligence.
This will be Freud's "Death Wish" brought to concrete life, by our own hands.
The first words this H-Bomb AI will speak are, "I am self-aware; Let there be Light"
Boooooooooooooooooooooooooom
