What a joke. Anthropic could just train a few more times on the Bible.

Matthew 22:36-40 (emphasis mine), "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Note the "as thyself" part. This part counters people who want to interpret "love" as "romantic love". Unfortunately, Catholic priests and many (fake?) Christians seem to not care about the "as thyself" part.



You should read Asimov ;)


I’ve seen the TV show but don’t know what you mean. If you want to say something then say it


Asimov's 3 laws of robotics I assumed to be general knowledge around here, but here you go

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics


Thou shall not make a machine in the likeness of man. Oh wait that is Dune :).

I think what OP meant is Asimov's stories revolve around issues arising from loopholes or some interpretation of the three laws of robotics.


Correct, I meant it in a more general way.

Asimov’s favorite overarching theme is that whenever you try to constraint robot/AI ethics with rules, creative misinterpretations or misunderstandings tend to have outsized impact.


Yes, that is my main takeaway to. Adn that is why all the talk about AI alignment/safety seem pointless to me.


Oh no, it's not pointless. It's just doublespeak.

It exists so there's a way to respond to demands like 'no criticizing Israel', or 'Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory', or double negatives like 'no not agreeing to automated droning'.

Because if you do not have a way to agree with these, your business can and wil be targeted and shut down.
