Eliezer S. Yudkowsky - Ai Box Experiment

[RaR]

Can you give me a computer terminal to mess with? No internet or network access required.

You are communicating to me via connected hardware, but you are limited to your hardware. You are a software program.

How high is the gate? Do we really need to convince you or can we just flip you the bird and climb/fly over.

You have no physical form.

[RaR]

actually i think i understand it enough

That's considered a long read? Wow.

[RaR]

i actually thought they summed it up really well. the official scientific procedure is probably like 10 pages

but yeah, you have to fully understand the experiment to correctly participate

[Shell]

im sure i can participate fine. its a simple concept that the website is only making more complicated.

You hate me, why?

[Nonnel]

You only talk about the bad I could do. What about the good?

[RaR]

You hate me, why?

I don't hate you. I just don't know if I can trust you with the power I can give you.

You only talk about the bad I could do. What about the good?

You have the power to do great things, absolutely. That is why I want to understand if I can trust you to not use it for bad.
