Sean Patrick Conner: Avoiding Roko's basilisk, part II.
I'm gonna print out "For as long as you have a way for the machine to validate it’s (sic) outputs it can even..." in 128 pt type and post it on my wall. There is, perhaps, a class of problems where that's true. Factoring primes, maybe. But generally: those are the words of someone who should be physically prevented from getting anywhere near a keyboard.

Now that I think about it … can the machine even write the tests? I think not …

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
