Never an easy discussion but in recent years the topic has come up about whether or not the Six Nations should introduce bonus points into the tournament structure. One of the biggest oppositions to the notion is that A) It wouldn't have made a difference in previous year's outcomes and B) The tournament is the longest running in rugby union history and should be preserved.
My own counter argument is that rugby is on a steady upward climb the last decade in popularity and the majority want to see tries, be that a good or bad thing. Also the tournament is realistically less than 20 years old in its current guise given that Italy only joined in 2000. Hell we only officially got a specifically Six Nations trophy this year. What do others think? For what it is worth, with bonus points the table would currently look like this:
England 5
Ireland 4
France 3
Wales 3
Scotland 2
Italy 0
Making the competition between France, Scotland and Wales even more competitive. | r/sixnations | post | r/sixnations | 2015-02-25 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQRktoR1dtellCZXR0OVh2X2lWQmRTZzFjZVZSbTRZbGltOWd6ZjEtT25oalk5RXJYS0VIY2FBMTBhQ0x1djJ2MlJRenRFNnJiNERrel94M1hpSWx3aFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSR1d1NkJzc0JJc2YwMDhUMzBMY0lXaURsSDVWWk1HZURiSTBlQXgtcnlnQXVrY1htM2E5dDQ0MnN2UFh3Q2gzaW9kLXlUYjdoc29hdEhfR3JwV1E3R0RvbW9UeTViVEJqczFZM0RCaHltckl4dmFiNkNoNWxvcmJ1VzAzZXV2TTZDZjJXbDFLOE9qTjBwUjBRMlBwZlFLQWJOdXI1Tnl6MTkwNVBwZE1iMlhjPQ== |
So does anyone honestly believe that Phillipe Saint Andre has just suddenly seen sense or are France rebelling like they did against Lievremont?
Ok so they look likely to lose against Wales in the next five minutes but they have played immensely better than their last two games, Parra making a difference too obviously. | r/sixnations | post | r/sixnations | 2015-02-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQODVKWE9CMVlheGZlWVF6bGF4UDRMcmdqVlluWXZ3dWRjZlVWU003bGk5TExPY2haSUp5OWxRWmlwSnMwZ3IxRXljTHktM2ZaOENiQ2U2dVpBbVBmbXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSMkJrMVRGR1c5cGpLUXZ4MzFTSzgtcDl6Tl9rMnNNVWw5UXB6SHM3VFg2Mmw0WlI5TTZ1OElGMDZUMzB6NVNjS2JqWVFaQkRiRW1kazJnWWNWMWxyQndIcTg1Qm9FNWlZVllLSWhNZGxQN1UyZXhBbGpQOU9vejdtZGhYN051bEw3M2Q3VnNpZy1IOHdiN2hkMVdrMURCZTBMYklJVXNCZ2I0S2pnQmtaaHlVPQ== |

Please don't make the mistake of seeing one man, however righteous, as a savior. He was clear from the start: us, not him. And he was right.
By bailing if he doesn't cross the finish line or make his last stand from the convention floor, you'd be letting your understandable frustration and anger stop you from going after the future you want--and deserve. It's not about Bernie; it's about you, me, all of us. The ones who are here now and the ones who should have a habitable planet when they arrive.
The PTB [Powers That Be] WANT you to be cynical, apathetic, to go back to your (our) shrug of "it's hopeless, we can't change anything." They COUNT on that. And it's worked for decades. DON'T OBLIGE, DON'T COOPERATE. Don't offer your wrists and say, "Sure, tie me up and throw me away again, I'm cool with that."
We aren't in Bernie's shoes. We can't know what he's going through and what's been threatened (yes, they do that, really). He is not us; we are not him.
You cared enough to rise up and stand with him. Felt good, amirite? The world looks better when you're on your feet than on your knees. Keep standing. You'll have company. Who, how, when, what--those discussions are starting in earnest now. Some good ideas in this piece by Nader: http://time.com/4364732/ralph-nader-bernie-sanders-primary/
If Bernie Sanders doesn't do what you want, what many of us want, step back, take some time to decompress, then re-engage. That's necessary, if you want to have any chance of making things better for yourself and others you care about.
Good luck. Chocolate is always a good idea. :)
The return of apathy if the party doesn't allow Bernie Sanders to be the nominee (which ii will not, regardless of Comey's recommendation) is exactly what "they" predict. What they desperately want: That his supporters' energy will fizzle and disperse into powerless individual puddles of despair instead of powerful lakes and oceans of united effort fed by rivers of people standing together. Together, we CAN do anything if we stick with it. Movements require time.
~~~~~~~~~
The above was written by 3andfro in r/Kossacks_for_Sanders/ comments and I thought these comments were so well-written that they deserved their own thread. (3andfro approved!)
I'll just add this: Movements require not only time, but your active involvement. Sign up with [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org/tour) and attend (or create!) the next BNC meeting in your area. And DONATE whatever you are able to give, please. The Revolution is about US - and more specifically, how hard WE will work to push the revolution forward.

Bernie went way, way, WAY farther and ran WAY stronger than anyone ever imagined he could. He recreated the left as a political force in America and brought it close to taking the Presidency. That's an awesome accomplishment, well worth the Benjamins I contributed to Bernie's campaign.

Now that we've all had time to digest the six-state primary results, I'd like to zoom out a bit and take a broader view in order to illustrate what IMO is our best path forward.
Short term - We fight the last primary (D.C.) and then Bernie works to get the best possible deal for us at the Philly convention. Protests outside will be very helpful, and the more great "eye-bites" we can produce the better. Waving innovative signs with powerful messages conveyed in really imaginative ways can produce a huge payoff in increased popular understanding of The Bern. Although there will be a lot of blather about the platform, etc., we should keep in mind that our real goal is to spread the Bern. The platform can marginally help with that, but the real power lies with the protesters outside.
Medium term - The focus shifts to getting Berniecrats elected. [Zephyr Teachout](http://www.zephyrteachoutforcongress.com), [Tim Canova](https://timcanova.com), and everyone else Bernie has endorsed deserves and should receive our very strong support. Post-convention, we should just ignore the Presidential race and let it play out (provided that nothing major happens such as an FBI indictment). By this I mean that nobody on our side should be donating to, volunteering for, or otherwise putting any effort into the *Corrupt Shill vs. Bigoted 1%er* contest, and should likewise disregard third-party candidates whom we already know will not be elected. Those living in non-swing states (where reliable polls consistently show an advantage of 10 percent or more for one side or the other) should write in "Bernie Sanders" as a protest vote. Those living in swing states should hold their noses and vote for the Democratic candidate.
Recognizing that there is a diversity of opinion about that last sentence, here is the rationale:
1) We fully intend to primary the Shill in 2020. Furthermore, we will do everything possible to push Congress to the left, which will both constrain her and push the nation forward. Obviously, she is not to be trusted and we need Congress to check and balance whatever she decides to do. And we will ditch her at the first available opportunity.
2) The power of the Presidency to issue Executive Orders is a Very Big Deal. What little benefit Obama has provided has come in large part from Executive Orders and other administrative decisions. Some of them have been appalling, but many of them have done a fair amount of good. We need this factor to at least lean in our direction for those 4 years, rather than against us.
3) The power of the Presidency to appoint Supreme Court Justices is a Very Very Big Deal. These folks serve for 30 years and anyone who has studied the work of Thurgood Marshall, William Brennan, etc. knows how enormously important one good Justice can be and how much lasting value can come from just one great appointment. That enormous power has to be on our side, working for us and not against us.
4) The power of the Presidency to veto legislation is another major capability that we also need working for us and not against us.
5) The argument that electing Trump will serve as payment in kind for the fraud and dirty tricks used against Bernie is a bad one. Tit-for-tat is a counterproductive process. The better way - the way that shows greater strength of character - is to live the teachings of Martin Luther King and others who advocate love as a fundamental philosophy of life.
For 2018 - We fight as members of [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org) to Bern The Congress in 2018. We identify potential candidates who could successfully primary Shillary. I'll start: [Zephyr Teachout](http://www.zephyrteachoutforcongress.com)
For 2020 - We fight as members of [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org) to Bern The Congress, and work to take out Shillary in the primary election.
Some may wonder about how the (now very well documented) problem of corruption in the DNC is to be managed. Clearly, the first step is kicking DWS out of Congress by supporting Berniecrat [Tim Canova](https://timcanova.com). But many more Berniecrats have to follow. Both the party officials who oversee the corruption and the superdelegates that we expect to hand the nomination to Shillary are for the most part elected officials who will be in the crosshairs of [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org). It's a Darwinian process of natural selection, and the power of [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org) is exactly what's needed to weed out the old and bring in the new. The political survival of these officials has to depend on whether or not they gain our approval, and [Brand New Congress / Bernie National Committee](http://brandnewcongress.org) is the means by which we make that happen. | r/politicalrevolution | post | r/PoliticalRevolution | 2016-06-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQVklRakY4Wm5QR09LYlhmcGtYUXcycF9tWnlNVmZHOEs2SkdsQnZnSU93WU1ucUR4R1JNcy04Wl9uNWtXUzRxMmlBTTZEX19kQ0ZQem56MWFEMFJieEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdST25QVnlaWFNEbFBZaS02T25fRnd0RzEzVDYtbThGczlHNXJXNFlRRlNHNEFNaGpSRGE1d21pMGNRMmJuZTBHbzEyYWtkV2xPa0o2OUNwbGxXdmNtYjU2bzdSODZTOGNzYzN1ZG5hTC1ENFd3eFpTcDRTbWxzZDlUZzRkRXdJWHEzU0Ixdm1OQkpkVkdlVHpSaHFDYkpGZFFlaV9YTjBJME9HMU5BT2tTYVlmMzFtd0FRcE8yUFV5UXd4Zk0wZXV4RVNqUjI3YU1DV2k1VFNTTWRraVVfUT09 |
Everyone's heard of the debate about what cars should do in cases where they have to choose between harming the driver and harming pedestrians or other drivers.
However, in a [recent AI conference](https://www.reddit.com/r/ControlProblem/comments/4qndcn/notes_on_the_safety_in_artificial_intelligence/), one of the speakers brought up a case where a vehicle would have to decide whether to swerve to avoid a deer. Swerving has a 1 in 10 million chance of killing the human and a 1% chance of killing the deer; driving straight has a 1 in a million chance of killing the human and a 75% chance of killing the deer:
https://i.imgur.com/KLhvmb6.jpg
You may disagree with the specific numbers but how do you think these situations should be handled? Apparently, people are irrationally protective of animals when they see them in the road, and perhaps the role of autopilots could be to override the human instinct to avoid hitting animals (at excessive risk of personal danger). After all, people have no problem killing animals just for pleasure/food, which is inconsistent with how they react to animals in the road. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2016-07-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQRHB1VFJZUGE5RE1LaG11M25UbFZwZUNYME0zdmMwWDBXMHJCSDMxT1FUX1dvWi1ybUdMLWJaZUhmSTVueTFjeDY0bG52anVzTGFPTVFWREc1N1laMkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSU3FVbUFtTE9ha0MxM2MtRHp3Q042LU56X0JuYUh0X2xoNmxLd2NPYzRobnpqN0ZyRnR6WlVuQmdJVWxwUEZiUjhYY0d1N1liOVNzVzFEZkxjZ1VOVHlmeExXU01vWUxPMEdTM3c0RXV0MmhKdGJVaVRyTTRJazBZcXlJdk0tSnBaNmoxcVZLNVd0M2VNTHVKUVVQXzZnS0ZUVVIwZWpQYkY1cTJIeFVvU0VWV3NLUjI0SEE1MkFpWmhMWmJjZVpC |
If I add a constant c to my loss function Loss_new = loss + c, then the gradient with respect to the loss and hence the learning is unchanged.
However I'm wondering if it's really ethical to add a positive constant. Won't the net feel better about itself if it has a lower loss?
Perhaps it would be most ethical if I always subtract 999.999 from my loss function. That way the neural network will be motivated by a sense of self improvement and ambition rather than a fear of failure. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2016-07-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQZ0pqZ2pHb0g4MEx3ZjludlgwelpRdWlNS3VLcW1KblBYa2dFbVV6QloxdWYtY1dWTldpQ0xVeFhZVExUVVJEdndaMEpiTnRHOGVValJzU1RGaVZfMEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSeURwUXZ5eGtHbmotTlAzUEQ0R3dHeDZtRGZESXVnY0NDSUJDc1pnbGVSUGJMaWxwY09lb1hxajNMVndnWldRN2tRRHlxRENQWWY4N19lRlB1c19rRVo3T0R4SG1sam9mR2FkSEF1OHgzUGdRUUxCZVo1N3ZHbEpoRzhjUjhQdG1Vdm9tS0tHYUtkRk52VHhPN0VreHpfa2R3ZUdOZzkyTVN0V0hHRnJGa1NNelhEUkdEWi1Rbmh4SWhXUmxIQjF1R08wV0NoTHBOZjQ4V1lDVmtWWExkZz09 |
If you try to develop an approach to machine ethics, there's two main paths you can take. The first is classical ethics, which means hard-coding moral frameworks into an agent. It could be utilitarianism, deontological ethics, something else entirely, or a combination. The advantages of doing this are that it guarantees conformity to robust moral principles and it gives humans perfect understanding of how the agent makes decisions. However, people often don't like this idea because there is no consensus on morality between philosophers and because formalizing morality can be difficult.
The other approach is intuitionist. Researchers have sketched out plans to use human cognitive models and training datasets of moral behavior to create AIs which make moral decisions in ways that mirror human intuitions. The claim behind this is often that it avoids moral disagreement, and since we can all agree on some examples of morally good behavior, we can just let the AI learn our values from them.
What I disagree with is the notion that encoding traditional morality is somehow a problem merely because philosophers don't agree. Why should the disagreements between philosophers stop us from building AIs rooted in classical morality, as long as we use rigorous, plausible moral theories which are actively defended by at least some of the experts in the field? Why not allow developers and engineers to imbue machines with any of those moral theories that they want and then just see what happens? | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2016-07-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQNzZ1QnphQUEyZVBpS2FaMFhlcVpiVmZBYVFuZEZFcnFvODJZZnMzTGFHUXZ5aGJqMVdvTWJCNDVBLTRsZG5Ob2ZvZDhoRDNodnhKT0NuaDZjQWh0bHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSNGZmY0dlMmU3blE5enBLQVJ5WkNvNGNnZzVFY0RzdWlsNFVENzhSc0pWd1NLTF94dWJ5UWNqZ0RUZzJPNWNaeXhRLXdUeVdVZGRueFcwci13QWU4czRfVHlISUxZclphQXMxckotdlN6M1AwRUhPWEJfNVBCaUdtZ09UeE5xWWlNYXJXeHFJeEktWmhoVXhOdkFKdGdCZEdQM2kyLXYwVGVxdGF5Z3JadUU4T1VJbFpNOHBLUk4wbXJ3dmpDblF0 |
Some thinkers believe that machine intelligence will arrive at some point, but rather than *autonomous AGIs*, we'll get either [mind uploads](http://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/uploads.html) or [enhanced human intelligence](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/ray-kurzweil-nanobots-brain-godlike_us_560555a0e4b0af3706dbe1e2) via e.g. brain-computer or brain-nanobot interfaces. I've heard some arguments that if those paths are likely (I find them at least plausible), then there's little reason to be too concerned about AI ethics / control problem / AI-safety: the human elements will inject the necessary ethics into the future cyborg/"em" overlords.
This seems very wrong to me. Malice, error, destructive behavior are all common amongst humans. If the future enhanced humans are less vulnerable than us and/or more powerful, than we potentially are handing any clever/malicious hacker/troll every nuclear bomb in the world and the Ring of Gyges. In other words: there will likely be some bad actors, and some bad actors may find ways to control/harm others in radical ways that are impossible today due to the limited faculties of even the most advanced human.
Rather, it seems that we'd need the same AI-safety that was already motivated by the autonomous-AGI case, and make sure that it works provably even when interfaced with a brain or uploaded mind. But is this a plausible scenario?

I'm quite stunned at this -- two days ago I was actually planning to call quits on the subreddit and label it dead, no joke -- but we received a lot of attention yesterday after I [posted](https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/55an2u/the_map_of_ai_ethical_issues/) an infographic to r/futurology. Everyone likes the intersection of science fiction with reality, and with self driving cars we're already seeing the need for ethical values to be implicitly encoded into machines.
I wish we had a good "introductory article" for newcomers who just want to start learning about the philosophy of AI and robotics but none could encapsulate everything; we are here to discuss a very wide set of issues and topics that humanity will have to address in the future.

This weekend I attended the [Ethics of Artificial Intelligence conference](https://wp.nyu.edu/consciousness/ethics-of-artificial-intelligence/) at NYU. There were a ton of high-profile and interesting people there from philosophy (David Chalmers, Peter Railton, Nick Bostrom, Thomas Nagel, Paul Boghossian, Frances Kamm, Wendell Wallach) and science (Yann LeCun, Stuart Russell, Stephen Wolfram, Max Tegmark, Francesca Rossi) as well as Eliezer Yudkowsky.
There were two fairly long days of talks and panels. David Chalmers (famous for his philosophy of mind and consciousness) did not officially speak but acted as chair for the event. He outlined the philosophy of the conference, which was to discuss both short and long term issues in AI ethics without worrying about either detracting from the other. He was, as usual, extremely awesome.
Here is a summary of the event with the most interesting points made by the speakers.
**Day One**
The first block of talks on Friday was an overview of general issues related to artificial intelligence. Nick Bostrom, author of *Superintelligence* and head of the Future of Humanity Institute, started with something of a barrage of all the general ideas and things he's come up with. He floated the idea that perhaps we shouldn't program AI systems to be maximally moral, for we don't know what the true morality looks like, and what if it turns out that such a directive would lead to humans being punished, or something else that was pathological or downright weird? He also described three principles for how we should treat AIs: substrate nondiscrimination (moral status does not depend on the kind of hardware/wetware you run on), ontogeny nondiscrimination (moral status does not depend on how you were created), and subjective time (moral value exists relative to subjectively experienced time rather than objective time, so if a mind ran at a fast clock speed its life would be more important, all other things being equal).
He pointed out that AI moral status could arise before they reach there is any such thing as human level AI - just like animals have moral status despite being much simpler than humans. He mentioned the possibility of a Malthusian catastrophe from unlimited digital reproduction as well as the possibility for vote manipulation through agent duplication, and how we'll need to prevent these two things.
He voiced support for meta level decisionmaking - a ['moral parliament'](http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/01/moral-uncertainty-towards-a-solution.html) where we imagine moral theories sending 'delegates' to compromise over contentious issues. Such a system could also accommodate other values and interests besides moral theories.
He answered the question of "what is humanity most likely to fail at?" with a qualified choice of 'mind crime' committed against advanced AIs. Humans already have difficulty with empathy towards animals when they exist on farms or in the wild, but AI would not necessarily have the basic biological features which incline us to be empathetic at all towards animals. Some robots attract empathetic attention from humans, but many invisible automated processes are much harder for people to feel empathetic towards.
Virginia Dignum was next; she is at the Delft University of Technology and spoke about mechanisms for automated processes to make decisions. She specified four methods of decisionmaking based on whether decisions are taken deliberately or imposed upon a system and whether the decisions are made internally or externally. The two former features lead to algorithmic decisionmaking in machines; the latter two lead to imposed decisions predetermined by regulatory institutions. Deliberated external decisionmaking means there is a 'human in the loop' and internal imposed decisionmaking is essentially randomness.
Yann LeCun concluded this section with a pretty fantastic overview of deep learning methods and the limitations which stand in the way of progress in machine intelligence. He pointed out that reinforcement learning is a rare and narrow slice of the field today and that the greatest obstacles for machines include common sense judgements and abstraction. The biggest current problem for AI is unsupervised learning, which is having machines that can learn to classify things on their own without being given clearly labelled data from humans. He showcased some of the (very cool) features of adversarial learning which are being used to tackle this.
He expressed support for the orthogonality thesis, namely the idea that intelligence and morality are 'orthogonal' - just because an agent is very smart doesn't mean that it's necessarily moral. He believes we should build a few basic drives into AIs: do not hurt humans, interact with humans, crave positive feedback from trusted human trainers. He also described a couple of reasons for why he is not concerned about uncontrolled advanced artificial intelligence. One was that he is confident that objective functions can be specified in such a way as to make machines indifferent to being switched off, and the other is that a narrow-AI focused on eliminating an unfriendly general-AI would 'win' due to its specialization.
In Q&A, Stuart Russell objected to LeCun's confidence in machines being indifferent to being shut off based on the fact that self-preservation as a goal implicitly falls out of whatever other goals a machine has. Paul Boghossian objected to the 'behaviorist' nature of the speakers' points of view, saying that they were exempting consciousness from its proper role in these discussions. One person asked whether we should let AIs take charge of everything and supersede humanity - Bostrom pointed out that the space of possible futures is "an enormous Petri dish" which we don't understand; an AI future could materialize as a planet sized supercomputer with no moral status, and we will need to learn how to engineer friendly advanced AI systems no matter what the plan is.
The rest of the Friday talks were devoted to near-future issues with specific AI systems. Peter Asaro started with an overview of his organization, the 'Campaign to Stop Killer Robots'. He stated that targeting and killing should remain human-controlled actions. While he acknowledged that automated weaponry could result in fewer casualties on the battlefield, he believed that it was too narrow a view of the consequences. He said that it's not straightforward to translate complicated battlefield morality questions for machines to understand, and is worried about unintended initiation and escalation of conflicts through automated systems, arms races, and threats to humanitarian law. He also believes that people should only be killed with 'dignity' and that doing it with a robot robs people of this. Therefore, he called for a clear and strong norm against automated weapons.
Kate Devlin of the University of London gave a brief overview of the ethics of artificial sexuality. Looking at the history of sexualized robots featured in fictional media, she noted that almost all of them are female. Today there is a "Campaign Against Sex Robots" which is based on the idea that sexual robots would lead to the objectification of women. Devlin does not agree as she thinks it is too early to ban the technology and that we should explore it before thinking about banning it, especially since it does not really harm anyone. Instead she wants us to think about how to develop it correctly. There are many potential uses for these types of robots ranging all the way to the therapeutic; many of the rudimentary ones being sold today are bought by people who are incapable of forming ordinary relationships for various reasons. VR is being used in arousal tests to gauge the efficacy of treatments against pedophilia.
She noted that gender issues have arisen in technology already; the history of gendered technology includes pacemakers originally designed only for men and phones too large for women's pockets. We should get into AI now to make sure that it is not designed in problematic ways.
She mentioned privacy concerns, as the manufactures of the female stimulator WeVibe have already been sued over concerns that they were not properly informing customers of their collection of data from the devices. She wondered if we will ever get to a stage where a robot might have some knowledge of its role and refuse to give consent to its use, and if transmission/duplication of data and code between machines could serve as some form of digital sexual reproduction.
Vasant Dhar of NYU spoke next about data and privacy in the era of autonomous vehicles. He said that our legal and financial liability institutions are based on outdated notions of data and that they fail to address liability and crime. However, the tools we have now even in ordinary cars for recording data can be used to improve insurance and judicial systems. He proposed black boxes for cars that would contain all relevant data to determine fault in the event of accidents, and said that customers should have the choice to share their driving data with insurance companies to get lower premiums.
Dhar reiterated the importance of improving vehicle safety through autonomous driving; each percentage point reduction in vehicle accidents equates to 400 deaths and 40,000 injuries avoided every year.
Adam Kolber followed up with a discussion of whether "the code is the law", based on the case study of [The DAO](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_DAO_%28organization%29) which was an automated capital fund which was subjected to a $50 million loss through exploitation. The answer apparently is that the code should not be the law, even though many people seemed to accept that it was.
Steve Wolfram of WolframAlpha and Mathematica fame discussed the issues of computer languages and goal specification. He said that his life work has essentially been about trying to find ways for humans to specify their goals to machines, and that this can work for ethics as well as for math. He doesn't think that any single moral theory is likely to work for guiding artificial intelligence, apparently because of Godel's theorem and the incompleteness of computational languages.
Francesca Rossi of IBM argued that for AIs and humans to interact very productively we will have to embed them in environments, so that rather than picking up a tool like a laptop or a phone, we are interacting with artificial systems all around is in our rooms and spaces. Humans will be recognized by their environments and our needs and wants will be inferred or asked about. AI embedded in environments can have memories about humans to better serve their interests. Most of all, we will need to establish trust between humans and AIs.
Peter Railton, philosopher at the University of Michigan, attacked the subjects of orthogonality and value learning. He said that we can't simply tell AIs to do what we want because our wants and values require critical assessment. He said that the orthogonality thesis might be right, but as we increasingly interact with systems and allow them to participate in our own lives and decisionmaking, the question of what it would take for them to be intelligent might involve certain features relevant to morality.
He stated that AIs should be thought of as social creatures; as a simple model, self regulation in a Hobbesian social contract leads to constraints and respect derived from self preservation. A society of intelligent cooperators can resist aggression and malice, and being moral is more efficient for a community than being cunning. From these principles we have a recipe for building proto-moral agents.
He discussed the 'moral point of view' required for many strong ethical theories such as Kantian ethics and consequentialism: it requires agents to have a hierarchical, non-perspectival, modal/planning-oriented, and consistent view of the world which assigns intrinsic moral weight to things. He described how all these features are also part of the process of becoming generally intelligent in the first place, implying that general social intelligence ensures the necessary information required for moral decisionmaking. In the path towards functional moral agents, we will have to build agents which can represent the goals of others and have them learn how to act in beneficial ways. So if we can build AIs that we can trust, then we are on a good path towards building artificial moral agents.
In the Q&A, Eliezer Yudkowsky objected that in the long run the 'instrumental strategy' is not quite what you want because maximizing people's desires as they are explicitly revealed can lead to bad outcomes, and you have to have a view like coherent extrapolated volition which asks what people would really want. Russell objected that when an agent becomes sufficiently powerful, it has no need to cooperate anymore.
Regina Rini of the NYU Center for Bioethics stated that the approaches to ethics so far described relied too much on the Western post-enlightenment view of ethics, which is a historical aberration, and excluded African, Chinese and other approaches to ethics. Railton stated that his scheme was grounded in basic empathy and not mediated by any higher order moral theory; Wolfram and Rossi said that no one ethical approach will work and AI will have to represent diverse values.
**Day Two**
Saturday was devoted to long term discussion of the future of advanced artificial intelligence. Stuart Russell, professor at UC Berkeley and head of the new Center for Human Compatible Artificial Intelligence, started with a basic overview of the control problem. He described the points made in Steve Omohundro's paper on convergent instrumental drives. He also had some pretty harsh words for the researchers in the AI community which have denied and rejected notions of the control problem without seriously engaging with the relevant literature.
He had three simple ideas which he proposed to constitute the definition of 'provably beneficial' AI: maximizing values for humans is the system's only goal; the robot is initially uncertain about these goals, and the best source of information is human behavior. He referred to inverse reinforcement learning as a technique for machines to learn human preferences, and said that uncertainty provides an incentive for machines to learn, ask questions, and explore cautiously.
His answer to the off-switch problem is to make robots unsure of their objectives, so that they assume that the human will switch the robot off if and only if it has a good reason to, and will therefore be complicit with the action. He said that the wireheading problem can be avoided if you construct the reward signal as information about the reward function rather than as a reward itself; this way, any hijacking of the reward signal makes it useless.
He said that there is a strong economic incentive for value alignment, but humans are irrational, nasty, inconsistent, and weak-willed.
The next speaker was Eliezer Yudkowsky of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. Chalmers pointed out his role there as well as his side venture in Harry Potter fanfiction.
Yudkowsky started [his talk](https://intelligence.org/nyu-talk/) by pointing out how the Terminator pictures in every media article about the control problem are inappropriate. The real analogy to be used is [Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice in *Fantasia*.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ait_Fs6UQhQ)
He said that the first difficulty of AI alignnment is that the utility functions we imagine are too simple, and the second difficulty is that maximizing the probability of achieving a given goal leads to pathological outcomes. He and MIRI are concerned with the nature of the goal of 'maximizing' and how to define goals in a way that avoids the problems of perverse instantiation.
He said that the fears of AI being developed by some terrorist or rogue group were silly, as "ISIS is not developing convolutional neural nets." Instead the most powerful AI is likely to be developed by large groups in government, academia and industry.
He claimed that the four central propositions which support the idea that AI is a very big problem are: the orthogonality thesis, instrumental convergence, capability gain (the speed at which advanced AI can make itself better), and alignment difficulty. He said the first two are logical matters of computer science that people always learn to accept when they reflect upon them, while the latter two are more controversial.
The next talk was from Max Tegmark and Meia Chita-Tegmark. Max is a world-renowned physicist who helps run the Future of Life Institute, and Meia is a psychologist. They explained how physics and psychology provide useful tools for understanding artificial intelligence; physics tells us about computation and the constraints of the universe, and psychology tells us about the nature of well being, ways to debug the mind when reasoning about AI and methods to design psychomorphic AIs. Meia was the only speaker at the conference to discuss unemployment in any detail; she pointed out that retirement has only mixed effects on well being and that happiness comes from financial satisfaction and feelings of respect. She said that studying homemakers, part time workers and early retirees can tell us more about how an automated economy would affect people's well-being.
Max checked off [a list of common myths](http://futureoflife.org/background/aimyths/) regarding advanced AI. Meia said that we should look at the cognitive biases which have led to these misconceptions (such as availability bias leading to people worrying about robots rather than invisible artificial intelligence) and figure out how to avoid similar bugs from inhibiting our thinking in the future.
By the way, Max Tegmark is very cool, he has a sort of old-rocker-dude vibe, and he and Meia are super cute together.
Wendell Wallach of Yale spoke next. He is the man who quite literally wrote [the book](https://www.amazon.com/Moral-Machines-Teaching-Robots-Right/dp/0199737975) on AI ethics. He distinguished top-down approaches of formally specifying AI behaviors from bottom-up approaches of value learning. He said that neither will be sufficient on its own and that both have important roles to play. He is worried that AI engineers will make simplistic assumptions about AI, such as the idea that every decision should be utilitarian or the idea that 'ethics' and 'morality' are icky concepts that can be ignored.
Steve Petersen, a philosopher at the University of Niagara, gave the next talk, based on the draft of a forthcoming paper of his. He aims to push back against the orthogonality thesis and modulate the level of the risk assessment provided by Bostrom. His argument is that designing AI to follow any complex goal will necessarily require it to be able to learn the values of its "teleological ancestors" (the original human designers or the previous iterations of AI before it self-improved or self-modified) and arrive at a state of coherence between goals. As agents replicate, self-modify and merge in the digital world, there can be no fact of the matter about which agents are the same or different; instead there will be an 'agential soup' unified by a common teleological thread originating with the designers. Coherence reasoning leads to impartial reasoning with the goals of other agents.
There were several responses to him in Q&A. Yudkowsky's objection was that reaching coherence requires a meta-preference framework with particular assumptions about the universe and ontology; therefore, for any goal, there are many preference frameworks which could fulfill it, many of which would be perverse. Russell said that just coherence is not enough because you need the systems to give special weight to humans. Max Tegmark said that the problem was the vagueness of humanity's final goals. Chalmers pointed out that the orthogonality thesis still allows for all kinds of correlations between between intelligence and morality, as long as they are not necessary by design. Petersen said that he is arguing for 'attractor basins' in the possibility space of AI minds. Interestingly, he was motivated to start his research by the [Dylan Matthews Vox article](http://www.vox.com/2015/8/10/9124145/effective-altruism-global-ai) on effective altruism where Dylan thought that effective altruists shouldn't be concerned by artificial intelligence. Petersen doesn't think that AI is unimportant and thinks that Bostrom and Yudkowsky's work is valuable, but he wanted to get a more critical assessment of the level of risk when he learned that alternative altruistic projects were at stake.
Matthew Liao of the NYU Center for Bioethics gave an argument for moral status on the basis of capabilities - that an entity is morally valuable to the extent that it has the physical/genetic basis for achieving features of moral relevance. I did not get a chance to ask him if this would imply that a 'seed AI' could be the most morally valuable entity in the world. He did argue against the ideas that level of intelligence or degree of moral agency determine moral status, as we don't normally think that smarter or more benevolent humans are more morally valuable than others.
Liao argued that moral theories are too specific and too high level to be generally implemented in AIs. Instead, AI will need a universal moral grammar in which to specify morality. The holy grail is to develop machines that understand why things are right or wrong.
Eric Schwitzgebel and Mara Garza of UC Riverside argued for basic principles of AI rights. They introduced a very weak "no-relevant-difference" argument: the idea that there are possible AIs which have the same morally relevant features that humans do and therefore there are possible AIs with equal value to humans. They questioned if cheerfully suicidal or hardworking AI is acceptable, and stated a 'self respect principle': that human grade AI should be designed with an appropriate appreciation of its own value.
John Basl and Ronald Sandler of Northeastern University argued for AI research committees to approve or deny research in cases where AI subjects might be harmed. They said it would not be very different from cases like animal testing where we have similar review boards, and sketched out details of how the proposal would work.
Daniel Kahneman, one of the most famous behavioral economists in the world, made something of a surprise appearance in the final panel. He said that we should take intuitions about case studies like the trolley problem seriously, as that is how the public will think about these events, for better or for worse. He said that no matter how AI cars kill people, it will be perceived with horror whenever the first incident happens, and we should prepare for that. Intuitions depend on irrelevant factors and will especially depend on whether AIs are designed to resemble us or not.
Gary Marcus, professor of psychology at NYU, of gave a much needed presentation about the nature of intelligence. The previous talks in this discussion had mostly assumed that intelligence was one-dimensional and simple and that there was some fixed idea of 'human-level' AI which we could eventually reach. Of course this is a ridiculous oversimplification; intelligence is multidimensional and it is more about implementing a combination of various cognitive tools, some of which are already stronger in AIs than in humans. AIs can be better or worse than us in various domains, so we really have no idea where AIs will be in this multidimensional space. AIs could in fact be better than us at moral reasoning. He also emphasized the gap is between machine learning today and what human reasoning can do.
Susan Schneider of Marquette University, a philosopher who has written quite a bit about AI and superintelligence, went over various issues. She argued that mind uploads might constitute death of the individual as long as we don't prove certain ideas about consciousness and personal identity, and also claimed that designing an intelligent and morally valuable robot to serve the interests of its creators would constitute slavery.
Jaan Tallinn, founder of Skype, also gave a quick talk. He has been a strong financial backer for MIRI and other efforts in this space, and simply expressed his belief in the importance of the issue and his happiness at the success of the conference and the number of students who were interested in pursuing the topic.
There was some final banter about the nature of consciousness which David Chalmers sat through very passively. Yudkowsky expressed optimism that one day we will have an explanation of consciousness which clears up our confusion on the matter. Nagel said that we will need to think more about the dynamics of multi-agent systems and moral epistemology. After that the event ended.
The conference videos are available [here.](http://livestream.com/nyu-tv/ethicsofAI) In my opinion, the best talks were given by LeCun, Railton, Russell, Yudkowsky, the Tegmarks, Petersen, and Marcus. The event overall was great and being in Manhattan made it even better. There was quite a bit of valuable informal meeting and discussion between many of the speakers and attendees. There was no 'sneering' or disdain about Yudkowsky or Bostrom as far as I could tell. It seemed like a generally open minded yet well educated crowd.
If you regret missing it, then you might like to head to the [Envision Conference](http://envision-conference.com/) this December.

Just a reminder that these people cant do anything unless we let them. Here's how Bernie can still win: constitutional amendment. We still have 5 days before the inauguration. If we get enough states to approve an amendment that forces the next president to be Bernie, they'll have to let him. Please share this to get traction.

I feel like the minimum that most people can do is to hit back against oligarchs is to not give them money. They want us to be consumers and soldiers, not an educated citizenry. It is obvious that all trump-branded merchandise would qualify, but so would Exxon to show disapproval for Mr Tillerson. What else qualifies?
Are there general boycotts of Trump products and businesses affiliated to him and his cabinet? If yes can these be publicized more?

I honestly want to know what I can do to make a difference in these really tumultuous times in the US. I have always been mostly up to date on politics, (although I'm admittedly not an expert), and had an opinion about what's been going on, but always feel so helpless and like I won't be able to do much. I am at a breaking point, I can no longer stand by and just quietly stew in my anger. This is getting pretty serious, and I only see it getting worse. Luckily we have seen people begin to stand up to it as much as they can, but is it enough? I feel as though this time is my call to action, but unfortunately our society has made us conveniently ill-equipped. A lot of the people in power are so corrupt, and way more savvy than the general public.
I just want to help change the direction in which we're headed. Reviewing my options even leaves me feeling more helpless. I have gone through the many stages of denial, anger, confusion, disbelief and detaching from what's been going on, but the horror has pushed me to want to make a change. But how can I do that?! Right now, all I feel like I can do is:
1. Share my voice and facts on social media in hopes of calling others to action. But that's often not very effective, and gets annoying fast.
2.March and protest as the opportunity arises. But this seems ineffective and too easily ignored. Makes you feel a bit better and somewhat accomplished, but what is it really accomplishing?
3. Call my representatives. But does this make a difference? They already know what is going on, so they're either on the same page, or so detached that a phone call from a citizen doesn't mean a thing. They'll turn off their phones, and do their normal shady dealings that will line their pockets or further their career.
I've already tried to prevent this by voting in all my local and national elections and try to elect those that I have more faith in, but this is not really an option to improve things right now. My husband and I are still pretty young, (26) I'm getting my PhD and he would like to go into politics in the future, but we can't do anything about it right now. Is it realistic to think we can make a difference? I would like to know what I can do. I don't have a platform to reach an audience, I don't have much time to focus on this, at least as much dedication it needs (I'm in a very rigorous PhD program). What can I do? How do I make a difference? | r/politicalrevolution | post | r/PoliticalRevolution | 2017-01-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQRHpac1pqTG5xT01fVjBqVUFIb0hmVXY0WmZaWHQ2WTRBdC05ZTh1OExTRE1JRERYTTNscHpSbGtSWDFqVnNPU1BoTmlnV3I0SXpiSlZjUWtURERxcnFkcWFiMTZZZVBSWVJVRkNNVUlERUU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdScG00cWRwQW03d2Vxb0xlOENmNDNYaFN0TjZFRGJCVV9WcVY4OG1zMlhDVzVrakJiRFZKSTc4SVI1di16NExMaWtKaHJ0TV8zaS05QWowc0lmcThYYkkyanptUGVMOHR2Nm1CMG91Z202UG5lajBKb19NMTlXX0hVUzVXdjQ1VnZlcF9HSEY0aVQtV2xudnV1UnkxRHhZdTVDWVBQXzRIZnpJWFk1OGdWczNaTzBVUDhRUlZjejRnVzNaVFc1TTlH |
People are so tired of her. I just watched the CNN Townhall with her, and it seemed super staged and awkward.

I met a girl from another country once. I asked her how she liked america, she said she loved it but couldn't stand the people. Being one of the people I asked her why that was. She said "you have been given so much freedom, but you don't fight for it and its slowly slipping away. I can't stand it." This goes out to you J.

I would like to see public statements from organizations like Justice Democrats, Progress Now, and the DNC that disavow the property destruction and violence that is being associated the anti-Trump and anti-AltRight protests.
*We* all know that the rioters don't speak for us. The organizations that hope to represent the Liberal movement need to publicly condemnation the violence and destruction if we are all going to be taken seriously on the national stage. | r/politicalrevolution | post | r/PoliticalRevolution | 2017-02-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQQngtWG5pcV91cTJsUm5DYm4wVmFTU2pSaFJDWTRkMHJYN0dlMjd0aXhFMHNYMnE2UFlvUERJVkxhOWtGazNZWDlGakJaY1d5eGFhVDJWb09WR2ktcEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSeWdDZkFfOTFpV2FDRHBEMThXaXVLYzIxbHJMYURnamRzVkNwWm9mUUhfOTEtaDBGbDJFbjlsQ0ZsQy11dzItUl9wcmRuNzZrZXFOczhLWkZiV194UmQ5N21fdmt3QVh4VVRLZ29UTTZEeFlTMmY2MW5tX3RXNUx5VGpWbHZRT216ZGdRT2pidEQ3TE5YMnoybHRFZVhCM1hOanlxSjJ0ZElvUlktbFI2b1NXS3lrSW03T0hQcUh6QXd4ZzNjdkVHTks0eDB5a0lFdUpjZElnLVZaXzQzdz09 |
While Scientology is a cult they know how to play the system well. They obtained their tax exemption from the IRS by having P.I.s dig into the personal lives of IRS managers initiating hundreds of lawsuits against IRS employees. Eventually Scientology offered to drop all suits for religious tax exemption and the US government caved.
Let us take this as an example of what to do to Congressmen, Senators, the state department, the department of Homeland security, the IRS, and the Department of Defense under the Trump Occupation.
I think there should be lawsuits and calls for ethics violations on all them from a class action of people. I think this is something we should highly organize. Lawsuits for Ethical Government Justice. They should never have been allowed to vote on someone who donated to them. It flying in the face of impartiality and shows direct bias.

Disclaimer: I’m not an AI researcher, just someone interested in the field.
I’ve had an idea about how to align intelligent AI programs’ goals with our human goals:
The problem is simple: Say you have some sort of software AI agent. The agent has a goal (or goals) mandated by its creator(s), and makes decisions on actions to take that would further the goal(s). Whether or not it can carry out those actions *immediately* or *directly* is irrelevant; for now, we’re focusing on the agent’s decisions, since its actions result from them. How do the creators capture the nuance and conditions of their goals, and communicate it to the agent effectively?
My idea: don’t give the agent discrete “goals” at all, at least initially. Instead, give it a network of weighted values to *guide* its decisions.
An example implementation could be created as follows:
1. Download a copy of [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download#Where_do_I_get_it.3F), in its entirety.
2. Find an article on something you like, or value highly (in my case, “[fun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fun)”).
3. Apply a numerical value to the article. The value should correspond, as best as you can make it, to the ethical value you actually apply to what is described in the article. For example, I could value “fun” at 9.5/10. This tells the agent that, when it makes decisions, it should try to promote/encourage/further/increase the thing with a high value. This works in reverse, too: a low value (e.g., 2/10) would tell the agent to prevent/discourage/stop/decrease/eliminate the thing at hand.
NOTE: The scale doesn’t really matter here; it could go from -10 to 10, -1 to 1, 0 to 10, 0 to 1, whatever works best for your particular setup. I’m using 0
to 10 in my example because it’s familiar (e.g., movie ratings).
4. Repeat steps 2-3 for multiple articles about things you find important to rate for the AI. All of these values are your “specified values”, and they cannot/should not be changed by the agent, at ***least*** not without user permission.
5. Specify to the agent that you are, in fact, done inputting specified values.
6. The AI agent analyzes the language used in all the articles in the database, paying special attention to links to other articles and the context of those links. It then uses these to calculate “generated values”, which have the same function as specified values ***except that*** the agent can change them whenever the user changes one or more specified values. This is similar to how Google’s [PageRank](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank#Description) system works, at the base level.
Is this a thing out there? I found [this on MIRI’s website](https://intelligence.org/research-guide/#eight), and [this article has the same idea](http://www.recode.net/2016/4/13/11644890/ethics-and-artificial-intelligence-the-moral-compass-of-a-machine), but I don’t know of any implementations of it. Other than that, I’ve found nothing quite like it.

Are you tired of watching the terrible news every single day and wishing you can make a difference?
I've figured out a way, but it needs a lot of people working independently to do so. Here's what we will do. We will be performing a denial of service against trump organizations worldwide by being polite. No breaking any laws, just using our brains against him.
Here is what you will need:
* A windows PC (I am using a Windows 7 Virtual Machine)
* Windows Media Player
* FireRTC Google Chrome Plugin
* List of Trump properties telephone numbers
* Virtual Audio Cable program (http://software.muzychenko.net/eng/vac.htm)
* Program to make a voice recording
Instructions:
1. Using your voice recording software make a long rambling fake conversation like which you would have over the phone with someone. Don't swear, don't cuss, be polite. Think crazy uncle Edie. Save this as a .mp3, .wav, whatever Windows Media Player can play
2. Install and configure Virtual Audio Cable (see image)
3. Configure Windows Media Player. Click Tools/Options/Devices/Speakers/Properties. Set to Line 1 (Virtual Audio Cable)
4. Configure your microphone. Right-click the sound icon in the system tray. Select Recording Devices. Set Mic 1 Virtual Audio Cable as the Default device.
5. Add your audio file to Windows Media Player
6. Launch Chrome and the FireRTC plugin.
7. Configure FireRTC plugin to use Mic 1 (see image)
8. Using FireRTC Make a call to one of Trump's properties
9. When someone answers hit play in Windows Media Player.
Enjoy! : )

Knowing some things about Buddhism, restricting some mostly religious teachings; do you think it could be beneficial into sentient robots knowing more about life, suffering, and human behavior in a logical and emotional way.
Personally, if such a race of robot were to co-exist with us, the idea interests me as I wonder if an artificial being could seek a more enlightened state of being. Could it spell more of an understanding of consciousness and what is needed to truly be happy? I'd like to hear some opinions about it, and learn more about it. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2017-03-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQWndFX2E3UE1MdUREM211WHBSUXg3V0ZEeEs3X3UtWWwwWjZZa180WV9DTzRxQkx5bmtTXzRILUpqcWhiY1A2NTB6M1BZdXo3YUQ5VnZUUlBfWnQxS3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSMWhGUWVTOWpidnZCUG1adW5qdVlpd1lMVmRKVmVTeVlBR0N5STFKbXh0WW1ES2x5ZTltdTBwMnBMUncyTTM2RWRmX2hROXpiOXNSRE4yZVV2NFg3REZsOEM0V0tab3UzZmZqOHRSd2s5VGRKTVJ1NkloOWwxSk5ReFV5clU3N2Q2cHl1MHFYOFp0Zldra2VNNC1nVHI2Nm1OUlV3VXFzd3FkeV9Mc2Z3T1Y3ek95OGxOYW5rUFAzMVNmRVBLRnZsSE5tdG91VS1pU1VHNlJMU203OFUtUT09 |
I have spent a considerable amount of time considering AI and its affects on the economy. It seems a given that robotics well replace the vast majority of low skilled work in the next two decades and it seems to be a given that a lot of high skilled jobs having to do with pattern recognition and statistics will be eliminated as well.
It is my hypithosis that a lot of high intellect jobs or shall we say specialized career fields will be made more generalized due to advances in AI's ability to handle large portions of complex tasks.
What I am interested in is opinions on what this will mean for society. Does it mean larger groups of people will have an adequate ability to compete for an ever shrinking number of jobs? Does it mean only the cognitive elite will be in a position to work? And in either scenerio what happens to those who are left without prospects. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2017-04-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQN2pjN2VOTnFFZU11NFRvN1JkaVphRGNyQThDaEhnOUd4OUIxQ0J3enh2dUpuSjQzU0tCUmVMMXZVdGdtdVF0eXE0aXVsbzA4NW5rd3U4YTFnVllMbGpya1YzQS1BWEJheld1cG0wZ09CSW89 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSYmhieHdrMzZ3WUpFeWtGNGpEUGtnUzBhMXF4eDVOWnhJOFhHRWtaVTRoelZfQzNFb0FydHpJZEJKWU5SRWVxM3ZVa0ZtMml3YlNwQVpHMGNjYUVzeXRBREFqd3lhZmdfZS04N2lMYTNHTTU5Z0xlS0pLdGJ4cl9LazhhQ0FLWHFOSlRibnVYa3AyVXBmTVA1VE80NS1BaGFHOGVBYVAtdGQ0b0NIeFF5MElMZnpHcGxvV1FvZGpqZnpHUlNJM0U2 |

Hi, I run a discord server dedicated to discussing philosophy.
The member base ranges from absurdists, empiricists, nihilists, objectivists, platonists, egoists, anarchists, and anything in between.
The point of the chat is to discuss ideas in good faith. People who come around posting woo and then refuse to discuss it, are not welcome.
I hope I'm not breaking any rules of the subreddit by posting this as this is relevant to philosophy, and the format of a chat is so different from Reddit's forum style that they aren't in direct competition.
Take a look if it sounds interesting:

Hello! I am a student working on a design/research project on the topic of AI. What I need help with is outlining where there is a need that I can fill with this project. In simple terms, the way I have framed my problem for now is that as computer scientists are constantly working towards further AI development we need to find a way to mitigate the potential risks and ethical problems that could arise from an AGI/ASI.
The types of solutions I have been coming up with so far (keep in mind this is a design project at heart, with heavy research involved) have been based around the idea of either an ethical watchdog group, an international consortium (similar to CERN or The Manhattan Project), or some sort of conference where people would come together to talk about these issues. My only problem is it seems like all of these things exist in some form already.
So my questions to you would be:
Can you think of some way that I could narrow down the problem I am trying to address to something more specific, so that it is easier to tackle?
Can you think of anything that is currently needed that could help work towards solving the current issues with AI ethics? Is there a set of guidelines that needs to be made? Or some kind of metric or tracking website where we can see how AI development is progressing, what milestones we've passed, and what ethical issues we still need to solve? Or maybe there should be an educational ad campaign that shines a light on these developments/issues to the public? I'm just throwing random ideas out there but if any of you have insights into something else (or think any of my directions sound like they could work) please let me know!
Your general thoughts on what needs to be addressed on this topic would be greatly appreciated!

AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society
February 2-3, 2018
New Orleans, USA
http://www.aies-conference.com/
As AI is becoming more pervasive in our life, its impact on society is more significant and concerns and issues are raised regarding aspects such as value alignment, data bias and data policy, regulations, and workforce displacement. Only a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder effort can find the best ways to address these concerns, including experts of various disciplines, such as AI, computer science, ethics, philosophy, economics, sociology, psychology, law, history, and politics. In order to address these issues in a scientific context, AAAI and ACM have joined forces to start a new conference, the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society.
The first edition of this conference will be co-located with AAAI-18 on February 2-3, 2018 in New Orleans, USA. The program of the conference will include peer-reviewed paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and working sessions.
The conference welcomes contributions on a broad set of topics, included the following ones:
* Building ethical AI
* Value alignment
* Moral machine decision making
* Trust and explanations in AI systems
* Fairness and Transparency in AI systems
* Ethical design and development of AI systems
* AI for social good
* Human-level AI
* Controlling AI
* Impact of AI on workforce
* Societal impact of AI
* AI and law
Submitted papers should adopt a scientific approach to address any questions related to the above topics. Moreover, they should clearly establish the research contribution, its relevance, and its relation to prior research. All submissions must be made in the appropriate format, and within the specified length limit; details and a LaTeX template can be found at the conference web site.
We solicit papers (pdf file) of up to 6 pages + 1 page for references (AAAI format), submitted through the Easychair system.
We expect papers submitted by researchers of several disciplines (AI, computer science, philosophy, economics, law, and others). The program committee includes members that are experts in all the relevant areas, to ensure appropriate review of papers. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2017-09-26 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQVE0tUVBSYklIM1MwZXZkdWFnTWYzTUNXSHQ0Z2RhZTBYVGhkcDlNMmRGcEo4T0JZWFRzU18zOFo2akZ6WFN5ZXNabHMxV0xLb0JqT1NRaUdzS0pfN2c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSMzc5WjkzQV9QTmRNNDh0MDl2WUF5ZHd2RW0wV0p1MUpScWpBbnVMaEhRdTFNSDhkVDBuVlhsQ010cnR0dGp4UkxzY2lLX0doNldGQno2T25GNWl3bjRkMkRRZkFHSGdVYjZEYzRQMWkyVmF1OUhHQkhtOUV1bHE3VldaQ1Q3YVlqM19qTzZGN2l0QmtxcHVlRHRWcnJ3MUZ6M0tURnJpU1M2c1VIYkhIUHRUVFNWN0JiVVJsRFFHcXgtVm5fX3JDMXNzbTZ4QlhYSW5LVGo2UXNsVUZjUT09 |
Hey everyone :)
I wanted to let you know about Mike Hartley for congress (Indiana, district 5). I've never done this (helped a candidate like this), and it's his first time running for anything. I need some help, please.
Mike grew up poor. He knows what it's like to be part of the bottom 50%. After high school, he joined the military. After serving in Iraq, he went to college and got a degree. He's volunteered for campaigns, and is a Bernie supporter.
He's going to be running against Susan Brooks. In case you didn't know, Susan Brooks is the chair of the ethics committee. I don't know if you have been following the news (lol), but the ethics committee is absolute garbage now. It's been 6 months since she said Nunes would be investigated... still nothing... surprised? I'm not.
We need to get him in, and her out!
Here's the thing, he's only raised like $1,900 so far... when I see other candidates in other areas raising like 60k and more. He only has one other primary opponent that I'm aware of. From what I've heard, that person is allegedly a corporate democrat.
Can anyone help us fund raise? Heck, can anyone donate? lol
Thanks! :) Also, I can answer questions if need be!

Last night, the mother-in-law (a rather big Hillary fan) and we -- a hard-left European (me) and my Sanders-supporting wife -- were out to dinner in Barcelona, where we live -- we carried out our threat to leave the US were Trump elected. The talk turned to politics, where I made, what I thought was, the uncontroversial observation that Senator Sanders would have beaten Trump had he gotten the nod from the Democrats.
But, no, the mother in law, an otherwise gentle woman without a mean bone in her body, cited **every** conspiracy theory in the book, from Vladimir Putin controlling the BBC and the Brexit vote to Sanders being a Russian-funded and Catalonian independence being a Russian plot. I was tempted to say something, but let her rant about the Russians being involved in everything and pulling strings.
To be perfectly clear, I am not saying Putin would not like to see the breakup of the European Union or the demise of the western alliance. But, what I am saying is that, while our interests may be aligned in some ways -- when the referendum was announced here, I didn't care, but became pro-independence after seeing how [Madrid reacted](http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29478415) during the sunup and aftermath of the referendum.
So, my question, as a politically unabashedly left-wing member of humanity is, how do I explain to my mother-in-law (and others) that Sanders is not a Russian plant, rather his 2016 run was merely the expression of the frustration with neoliberal capitalism in the post-Cold War era.
Come to think of it, the real question is `how do we on the left learn the art of the soundbyte?` I await your responses. | r/politicalrevolution | post | r/PoliticalRevolution | 2017-10-28 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQRVdrXzc2bXB5TlJGYnlkZ1Z3NTBPVGxvemhoeWppTGxkX2JESk01RW9penlTTW1MT3psNlJBY1dwb1JBZGJuYW1oX00wUUFTb0JFTXdvMHNRM0E3alE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSb3hTcmM1bVVLRXJ2S3Vnblc0V1FqOWlNYW8wMFJCcEpXRmUtOHV4YXR5LTN3R0FWVXdCY1dhVEhjbHJ4ZnNvdENEa0N5dlNuNFJkUHFWb3oyMmM2UlVkdVpxU19jWHlLOEc4bDVScFRaU0c1Ti1MQnpLa1F4SllyS0hQNXR6TFJsaGx4ZG5QLW0wdE1ic3dvQzFzRUU1emxuXzJBOXpjWWR1VURBcXB5MXBjPQ== |

Hey guys I'm giving away two tickets to Wellington for the New Zealand v Fiji world cup quarter final. Sadly, I can't make it to the event anymore so I'll just give it away here. If you are interested then pm me. The catch is that one ticket is for a full time student (must present id) and one adult.

I'm looking for some machine ethics moral dilemma to have a rich discussion about the different philosophical approaches (utilitarian, deontological, virtue).

If neurotechnologies or mentally-enhancing substances become the Viagra of daily functioning and create new benchmarks for productivity, wakefulness, even emotional love, what's going to happen to the fabric of society, the character of our interactions with each another? Will these altered states be genuine reflections of a new-and-improved “me” or “we”, or some transient artificially-induced condition that wholly confounds what we inherently value? | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2017-12-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQa2cyS3FnbTJQODR6cU5HVlFHSzgxcVVDekM2UHNHelVCbkx6SWQzcEM1VnhEZDdjWDFUMjdGZjBldUhkelZGZFZPbXRYaXNUM2NNbmdsY1A5djktS0xSdHVMRDFsQjN2aWIwNE5Wc3ZmZkU9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSbmp5c1R1blR6aG5EOWx1bEZWdE0tMVJZQ2ZBNk8tLTVqYUNjcjg0UXk5a21xNFpPWXJqWm54c1RtRUhkX1dHVmJaVGYyZ2FzQVg2bjFGUXExSTBuYVF1RDRiVjRSMV90Ny1rX051clEzYWpwRXlfT2dCMDZIbURZdElHOTJXSFlidFdyVHdNNkFTNXVHSERrc1NIb0h2SWtwSjdGVjhWOHNKaDNSRWt2bjZZVUE0SU9VWjQwTDVSdkNhRDRHQ3ZZ |

For instance:
Ohio 2018 Election
Primary Election Registration Deadline: April 9, 2018
I'd like to start hearing about our congressional primary candidates *before* that deadline passes. I want to make sure we have a candidate that I can support, especially if I'm going to be knocking on doors for them. (And if we don't have a good candidate for a district, we need to start finding them *soon*.)
Is there a website where candidates can announce their intention to run in the primary? Hell, it doesn't have to be much, a spreadsheet would work if someone could coordinate it. | r/politicalrevolution | post | r/PoliticalRevolution | 2018-01-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQQjltT1Nfc3R3NHp6c2ZOMTd2UlZiMmtqbkNmVi1ZczhHcHFzdmZnVEJsN2FQbXZ1VHFld0xyc2UtSms2NkNOME00WTVGN1FWV1ROcmRYYmltcGlpZ1E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSMm5DbnhpTlVYeGVvOExTazJBWTRlUUxmVE1FN3Y2NW1uNlZvWFVyWDNGbEZNVnpWOGpmSFMwNUxDaFAweF8wSWFic2JfdXIxZTkxQWZCNUpMd3NXZVVJS3pIVEppT2VYODhBQ0VZeEdBaVlnNFVVTWVvWjJpT0lSbW44enA0bS1MeXpZYVZHMmU1blp4S3BzYkkwSVllU0ZtVFZRT3Vody1RLVpjMW55dkZMY1RaNWs2LWJuaVJlTXZWMWowVUJkb3ZfOFNTQzBUQ2xYNWQ5LUJiWFVRZz09 |
Hey everyone! I'm a graphic design student but I'd love for your thoughts on [my capstone project](https://www.behance.net/gallery/59498375/The-Future-Institute).
We had open range for topics on this project, so I chose to address the issue of ethics of safety in the development of AI. My solution was to create a research institute that would focus specifically on this, but in a more collaborative way. Rather than utilizing the expected "techy" graphic styles, I opted for classical type and illustration to help connect to more philosophical thinking and ethics. This is contrasted with the bright and modern colour palette.
Please let me know what you think, I'd love your input!

I love the World Club Challenge games, it gives the English teams the opportunity to pit themselves against the best teams in the world, lets face it, the Australian clubs are streets ahead of their English counterparts so lets not kid ourselves. Regardless of this and the possible drumming my beloved Rhinos may or may not receive I'm excited.
My problem with this game, being in England and like most people who work Monday to Friday, I won't be able to watch the game live! We ask ourselves all the time, why is the profile of rugby league so poor in England, well there's one answer, if we don't showcase our game, our skills at the right times, how do we expect to raise the profile? Surely, someone, just one person at the RFL thought about this, or do the people within the RFL not have a brain cell between them? To me, it's common sense, play the game on Saturday morning / Saturday evening in Australia. It can't make much of a difference to the Melbourne fans if it's played on Saturday night, surely? Us English fans who aren't lucky enough to get to the game, can at least get up on Saturday morning and watch it live.

I’m a rugby fan, but my viewership has almost always exclusively been of Union and 7s. Here and there I’ve watched a few league games on YouTube, I’d say somewhere around 4 in the 5 years I’ve been watching rugby. I’ve never quite understood the appeal of it, but I keep coming back to watch a game every now and then because it does intrigue me. So, maybe everyone here can answer a few questions I have:
1. Why is there so little passing as compared to union? I would figure that the limited number of phases per possession would encourage avoiding rucks with passes but from the limited games that I’ve seen that isn’t the case. Why?
2. Why do defenders back so far up from the ruck when the tackle is completed?
3. What determines when the tackler and tackled played disengage? It seems as though they squirm on the ground for a spell and then go about their business.
4. Why do you like the sport? What keeps you coming back to it? What about the game do you find beautiful or amazing?
I hope I’m don’t come off like I’m shitting on the sport, it’s something that really interests me and I want to know more about it.

3 Games down already and we are starting to see glimpses of what is to come in 2018. The Dragons, Warriors and Panthers have been early success stories but can they maintain their winning ways?
Meanwhile the Tigers and Knights (who have been loced out of the 8 in recent years) have both been able to boast about the form of their new squads. I particularly like the defensive platform that the Tigers have setup, conceding very few tries in the opening 3 rounds which were all against hot teams in Melbourne, Eastern Suburbs and Brisbane. Will they come out of their shell and pile on some serious points against the Eels this week?
As a Roosters fan my eyes will be on Saturday’s game, which will be a big test of whether NZ are serious contenders this season vs whether Easts can do something with their star-studded lineup. Cronk and Keary have done wonders for them. However, Tedesco has been quiet and a little clumsy if truth be told. It’ll be exciting seeing how our current FB performs against the previous one, who abandoned us in 2016. Arguably we let him go so we could sign Latrell, Fergo and Tedesco... who will get the last laugh this season?
Lots to play for this week and it’s exciting because every team is legitimately competing for a place in the top 8. A win this weekend could be a major deciding factor for borderline top-8 teams come finals time.
Keen to hear your predictions. In particular...
- Will the top 3 maintain their winning ways? (How good has Hunt been for the Dragons?!?!? I reckon Brisbane totally under-rated his loss)
- Can the Eels and Raiders draw their first blood this week?!? (Croker is baaack baby and the Hayne plane is ready to fly!!! Watch these teams...)
- The Storm have been quiet achievers, as usual. Do they need Cooper Cronk or is he old news?!? | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2018-03-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQYWVyTUx4bllxQ1VYdmVPSHpnQi0wRHVDQlVTYXNXd1NrMlFsZkZYLUE1YTBLRzhtQlhtaDZOQjlqSEYxOEpkSkdFa0VhRWFXQkV6NFNHeTlDZUxnY3c9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSelAxbEZGcEt2THcxRzBhU0MxTGNxOU53MVhvcmFzUHlaRXZjNXFkY2JFTk5TSkNuY0tKYW1yamQ2cC1EMVBaT1ZQVVFkb2RyMUUxYWw5bTFWYzZ3d25IekFTc1FDM2lfV1JKX0U1OFh1SGp2dzI5blIzcDlXX0ZRV1YzYXBGdGZ4S09CQUZjdlVyUjhQNzNvVlJLYl9sSGYxNWJBQTBzQ21lcDRyOVY5RU9XbzhqR2lCaXhwZFRGd2o0SmY3N2g3 |

When a private organization develops a machine (whether driver-less car or genuine AI) that requires ethical stipulations to work in society, and they do not ask society’s input, they establish themselves as a dangerous authority. Society at large already determines right and wrong; this should extend to the machines that will only come to have a greater and greater impact on our lives.
We need to open source machine ethics.
The trick is overcoming the original problem: those with technical expertise making ethical decisions for others without that know-how. The collaborative interface needs to be relatively easy or many won’t bother learning to use it. It needs to be decentralized, human readable, censorship-resistant. A place to start might be a Wiki made up of the ethics, axioms and “common sense” of society but written in a fourth generation programming language very close to human semantics.
Today most people generally consider Wikipedia to be a solid approximation of the truth; if we could have that level of collaboration for a machine-readable code of majority-agreed ethical tenets I think we might avoid the power differential that automation (and beyond) represents, preventing serious ethical risk for our species. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2018-04-06 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQUVRfRHhsaG1SMEdoVDlJdnVSVXRjRk9FZk1WdzlrNE5ZdTdSREMyRjFYQ2FoMFRJSzNHMmFZSzRMTXJHOFdBVFZBTHVLZU1vRDJRRlM4Vkc2b1BkVUE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSRUJpSmUxYVhNcEpyTVZTWkxUNjFtTTBfdHFRRmVjRWI1cEtZLTJKbzhJZE1FZk5zdmpIWVdpNVRnUmpLdDZpaXhYWUdRRVhxSUhhTFV2UTZnTVlqbG1VMUhmbUlwdkZLeVdxSEloNVZjNkUxajhFSHU5VHN3Yk80SDNHMlpLN2EyUG1hMFI0QTNnVWh1SFlUUXZXbUxUTGplNkdscEE2MDVTcEM4ZG5RcVYzcXRsNkN1aHB2N1VXTGt5Mm80dk80VlVJOWJtUHpHR1hHNmpSbzR6MGp1QT09 |
Hey, all –
So this Friday, Apr 13th, starting around 3:00 PM, Shahid Butter is having an IAMA in r/SanFrancisco. He’s running in the June primary to represent district CA–12, currently held by Nancy Pelosi. She’s been representing the district for thirty years – it’s time for a change. Shahid can be that change.
It’d be great if you’d visit over the weekend and ask questions and get involved in the conversation. He’s running for CA–12 but really, he’s fighting to represent all of us.
[The link to Shahid’s IAMA is here](https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/8bsp7y/ama_longtime_digital_rights_activist_lawyer_dj_us/).
A BoingBoing article with some of his background and battles are [here](https://boingboing.net/2018/02/23/beyond-hashtag-resistance.html).
Some of his words are here:
>I’m Shahid Buttar (/u/shahid_buttar). I’m an immigrant, Muslim, non-profit advocate, community organizer, constitutional scholar, poet, musician, columnist, and policy wonk. I’ve helped build a series of social movements here in San Francisco, in Washington DC, and across the country. Now, I'm running to represent San Francisco (CA–12) in the U.S. House, challenging Nancy Pelosi for the seat she has occupied for over 30 years.
>My platform includes Medicare for All, resistance to executive power and corporate control over federal policy, criminal justice reform including the federal legalization of cannabis, and political process reform. I'm pledging not to accept support from corporate PACs. I’ve also been very active in the fights for police accountability, civil liberties, and digital rights as Director of Grassroots Activism at EFF (and before that as Executive Director of Bill Of Rights Defense Committee, where I worked with the r/RestoreTheFourth activists).
It’d be great if you could visit. It’s not just San Francisco’s fight. It’s *all* our fight.

Hi r/rugbyleague
Question from a bit of a league noob. Really I'm a fan of union but I watch most sports and at this time of year super league/origin it is. One difference I've noticed between union and league is that the kicking in league doesn't seem to be as good as in union, both place kicking for the posts, kicking to touch and kicking for distance (clearing lines) Why is it that? Is it just a skill that is not as valued? Or are quality kickers generally poached to union? Or is the ball different?
Cheers,

Hello everyone,
I am a law student and in couple of months I will start to write my optional mid-studies thesis. I would like to tackle problems in the field of AI from legal point of view, however I am suffering from general lack of thesis.
I am mostly looking for problems related to intellectual property, if not then secondly related to legal responsibility of AI (but no self-driving cars, it has been beaten to death already) and lastly about application of AI in judicial proceedings.
However I am opened to any suggestions you might have (facial recognition, **ethical problems...***). Anything that you feel that this field faces or might face in near future from legal point of view. Did you already ran into some related problems?
Feel free to make it as technical as possible, for what it's worth (honestly not much) since I am interested in this "intersection" I am familiar with some of the underlying concepts, can code in python and took several AP courses in maths and stats, so bring it on bois.
Thank you in advance for any suggestions or tips you might have for me, it would really help my studies.
Edit: I don't want to end up on /r/choosingbeggars but preferably it should be something "new" (hence the slefdriving cars) and preferably some really specific problems that I could form my thesis around. But of course any insight will be appreciated. And yes, you will get credit in the thesis. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2018-06-22 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQX2xJWW1jRlRTbmFRYWx2cTF3eFJQVm5aNVZiOGZjOE9Mb3p5bENuaWVwajdwYUVHRGZTS1kxME9NTXFJQ1RNRjdSMkRFVWdUQVBEdTBrMFBkcm1yS29mRlNQT1pSNk9UX3BleHZGeVlXQ1k9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSSkNPakkwQUFGdTdZMmdkVTUxVGVLMDBpem9PTVR4QkJ5b3pranppdmtqdnMyR3RuR0d2UHVndU1STnIwY0FsWW1MNjF6V1RoQ2N3VFZRRFJPRmQ2ZnFLTFpIbU5WMzVZZU5MeXRvYkRUQWtZSXJpZFN5RUh1Nk81Mk91bEtVZHRlT0ZsQXBCQ0pxREp0UFR0WXBlOTJjY0x5Wjg1cjZ1MXlvaHp1NWIwbnFrVHFRWUZLdmtVY2g4VG8tbDV6WWFGRURmemdkOG9JZkxrWm5UY25UUlFzQT09 |

I get the feeling I may well be picking at an old scab here, but I'm going to do it anyway. I'm currently watching the Brisbane v Canberra NRL game, and there's just been a knock-on. So the ref spends several minutes ensuring that the scrum is formed to whatever the subdivision of the letter of the law is, and then the scrum half chucks the ball behind his prop's legs. This, obviously happens every single time there's a scrum, so why do they still bother with it? Why not just restart with a tap when there's a knock-on or the ball goes out of play? Is it purely for the lols when a scrum somehow goes against the head? | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2018-06-30 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQN0l1Y3ZDMFVHY2ptUmlqVEYwd25PNWJJVHNxeUxCYWFsTmVpUUVCMFpCZmRHNG9tc1Z6UTVvLWtOeFRuNG5FREZvYXhHSjJUTnBaQW9DdE45dFk4U280Y1MzZzRZOU45TFpiaGVZT3IxekE9 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSaXBPVEo5Y1VYQVVfdEJIVVlfT3NMN19PeERxNjlPNWZNZWVrTW5sRFNHN1BXUXFkVThENWpCemNVRlBvT19rUlhJU01WamNmT3ByeF9IOGZoYW90VVp2M1hyMjJHcmVHU0ZmUTZvMENXNEFmWGZSNFNzenBoUDlJbXVzWXVIVG9vY1VrdDhQek9XcVcyMDVNU1RSakpPNlo1QmEtT0psOFg2M09MMnBBVTJwQWdIQzNYdE02VlZRMVNfcVo4V0hp |

I apologize if it's rude for me to ask this here, and I appreciate any responses. I do not have access to a printer and I'm having trouble figuring out how/if it's possible for me to register in person with a passport. I was born and raised in New York state but my license is long expired, I most recently had a FL license.

Hi there, we are a group of post graduate researchers at the Royal College of Art.
Our research topic considers the role in which Artificial Intelligence is affecting the Legal profession.
Some of our speculative research questions are as followed:
​
* *With the use of the Internet and technological proficiency growing exponentially, the platform for ‘Cybercrime’ increases also. How do we presently define Cybercrime and where do we see its direction heading in the future? With increasing calls for a neutral net, how should we regulate these offences while maintaining a free and open internet?*
​
* *New original forms of crime are being facilitated by the Internet; recent cases of ‘SWATTING’ and ‘DDoS’ attacks have showcased this. Is the current legal system able to adapt and enforce accurate justice against these new crimes, or should an alternative judiciary be considered?*
​
* *Can you envision a future where an AI system has entirely automated the Legal Profession? Can a machine learning program take on the roll of the ‘Judge, Jury and Executioner’ ? What happens to the idea of empathy and compassion in this future?*
​
* *It is often claimed that our Judiciary doesn’t reflect the diverse society in which it serves. Is there a potential growing disparity between the way in which communication and information is shared over the Internet and the typical demographic which sentences it? Is internet culture completely/accurately understood at the highest level?*
If anybody, can offer an insight into any of the above questions, we would greatly appreciate this!
We would also be super stoked to have a conversation with somebody with a background in this world too/

It seems a bit unfair to me that a game that goes to extra time can essentially be decided by the coin toss, so here's my idea:
Instead of golden point, 10 minutes of extra time played. Any points scored during extra time are added at the end of the 10 minutes, and if a team is ahead then they are the winner, but if either team scores a try, the game ends immediately, and that team wins by 4 points.
If it's still a draw, then play an extra 10 minute period, same rules, but if it's still a draw, then the team that scored first wins. | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2018-11-11 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQbTVCQWhKaTBmdVRkenZQQWVVd3BEdUxRblFnN1NiTnBZakk0aXV1eFBTZkdGOFg0THdxTlRwSE1iRTRMaDV2WFlua01YbG9URUtrdkpjY3lJNVVhSkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSTXFuYmdhT045SGRDZUZqcV9aNkJ0akZSbHphUk1FV0YzN2RtTUh2MnlEYWs3MVlBU19RRXg3a1FOb19tREwwbU9qVS1wOFhoaU15OGFhSGk3WUlVSGE5alVaUFBsV2wxYU9sSTl6Z3VlYlhlUFZaOHJOcGxfRjZURzh1R0d3a1F6NklJOUZTVG5KSUlVTVJtT1lzWm1LbkVzUDdNZ0IxR0Fwd3otQkdycVJtdDlqcGk1U3d1THJRdTFnd0Q2TG5zdi0xbmFYNFVHUFpQUkNsdkVqXzlaUT09 |

If we were to create a true AGI, would it be able decide what it wants to do? Could it evolve past whatever limits we place on it?
If the AGI had a processor similar to our neocortex, would it susceptible to all the problems that humans have?

I think most of our problems with this come from trying to limit the conceivable lessons and derivative understanding of AI systems to a simple series of rules for behavior. And although it's easy, the rules we set for the AI's are crutches for that learning that we should be understandably wary of.
Having a rule like, "Don't hurt people," would rob the AI of learning from the consequences of the action and the reasons why it isn't good. Obviously while it's undergoing this kind of early stage learning it will be important to make sure it isn't yet capable of doing serious damage. But it's important that it's able to synthesize the consequences of the world around it into it's own understanding - otherwise its behavior could have large gaps in terms of what we would consider normal.
Do you feel that this form of learning is too dangerous or only that it's too hard to do? | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2018-12-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQNmI1LTFxUTZPYkFjejEzdXA4Vm95UGdPaHE3YVFodUNJZEUyZDd5Mkt4VWhROS1FaWozWnhTSGpzSU9DQU9IVXVSYjJQRUFtb0htR25zaURuandJLWc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSYnVqQ0Y2dmhFQTlpN3JEZWM5a2xXeVpzdWYxLU5oSlBTSGhlVDNwZG5UZjk3WGgtSkF3Q2lFaTBRQkNzZk5lWkFLQ0Y5WHBTWDM2ZkNLeVNPMXpYVUIyaXRicnNDeUhMYUJDdW1tUENydTRtdHRFb05GYjhXNDdEb280ek1BazRkeGYzQ080V1pTNVhocFdmMGluVEhndzFTUEdQZVVfLWN6RXFhUklYMWFYM1FIUm1lMl9vaG85cUxYRHEwNWh0 |

Just wondering what everyone thought about the first round this year.
I think that England has definitely gone up a gear compared to what was happening in the autumn and before. The defense against Ireland was incredible and seeing the new combination with Slade and Tuilagi in the centers is so good to watch.
Ireland has started slow like they usually do at the beginning of the six nations but I'm really interested as to what they can do against Scotland at Murrayfield in round 2. I think this is a little kick for them and they will be on the ball. However, it's a shame to hear about their injuries from the England game.
Scotland is showing how much they have improved as well. It was an impressive hat trick from Blair Kinghorn but it's easy to see how dangerous they are in attack with Hogg and co in the backs.
It is always hard for Italy every year, this year I believe that they are not doing as well as they would have hoped with their injuries. They did have a good finishing quarter though against Scotland.
I'm in two minds about France and Wales. It was a very tight game in Paris but I don't think we saw the best of either team due to the conditions. Hopefully, round 2 will show us the potential of both teams.
I'm really interested to see what other people think so leave a comment to let me know... | r/sixnations | post | r/sixnations | 2019-02-04 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQd1JDY0JZbHdKeWdvMjRNc2xBNWgzVWNCeTlBX0ppbTBsb0J3SHRCc0phaThRTzRJWHBSczFUdV9OTjBzRjJmdmJWU2ZKOU1CMHFnSnpiRC1vN3FrakE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSLTMzTVd6aERZQWNlZmhNZWtRNXJpQXBWbjlnbHQyYkRFNHh4VVUzUVJOWGZoSWRiYjZqZ2N0RTY5Qi1FSmlrcTlSTTQ1REdyYWFxMlpFd1R0dEhOOS0zdUg4Z3pUTTctTHVYaE1PSlR3WXBOQkE4WmZMVnRJVGJrVmRjOVRLMWtsMFV1QWxabWJYUWRLVTFsSkhHWlJ1dnpVVldJN2pYaEMwSnB2N01lTGdWTWZSVHpoOXBQN3NOZHRRTmpSTEtE |

I am a southerner looking to get into RL recreationally. Obviously most teams are along the M62 corridor however and I'm really struggling to find a senior mens team in Hampshire. The two nearest me (Southampton and Portsmouth) have stopped their senior team and become totally unresponsive respectively. If I want to play down here would I have to head up to London?
Thanks in advance!

I'm completely flabbergasted about the hype surrounding "ethical AI" and encourage anyone to convince me else wise. Either the entire discussion surrounding AI ethics is by people who are incredibly innocent and lacking of street sense, or there's something I've completely missed.
I thought I'd make this post to spell something out: AI will be a tool. Nothing more than that. It's a simple algorithm of gradient descent, reward mapping, or whatever other interesting technique comes into fruition in the next 100 years. Here is the revelation for everyone: The ethics part of AI has nothing to do with AI, it has to do with the humans behind it.
This is the same argument that you can't blame guns, only the shooters. Guns don't kill people. Humans do. Before this degenerates into a bipartisan argument I'd like to state a few observations:
1) We don't attempt to program ethics into nuclear weapons. Rather we hope the humans that control them are ethical, and our socio-political policy is conducted in a manner that controls the humans that have access to nuclear weapons, not how the nuclear weapons operate themselves. Attempting to program ethics into AI as opposed to the people that design the AI is equally as ridiculous.
2) No matter how many "make believe" rules or transhumanist mind-masturbation principles you program into a superintelligence, all it will take is one rogue organization, country or terrorist organization to implement basic simple AI algorithms that weren't programmed with those rules in a server farm of GPUs, TPUs, or whatever the flavorful hardware of the future may be.
3) This post has nothing to do with the ethics of how humans can program an AI. Of course this is a valid point of public discussion and policy: Ethical humans absolutely should ensure that any AI they program for any purpose that may effect other humans should behave in an ethical manner. Rather, the point of this post is surrounding the laughable optimism that some people seem to have surrounding an "ethical singularity". It's absolute common sense that any form of ethical singularity would be more complex than a non-ethical singularity. The simpler things always win. And if it doesn't initially, eventually it will by rogue people/entities. I shouldn't need to elaborate on that truth any further.
I had to make this post after seeing the trend of "how to ensure superintelligence aligns with human morals" absolutely everywhere and somehow merging itself with serious discussion of how humans can program AIs they have control over for ethical purposes (eg: making sure a self-driving car behaves ethically).
If it isn't obvious to anyone reading this: A true GAI that has the capability of being smarter than us and having free thought wouldn't give a damn about our ethics, and any attempt by us to artificially program it to do so could easily be bypassed by any terrorist, rogue military or perhaps even non-rogue military organization at some point in the future. You cannot stop that anymore than you can stop a terrorist attack occurring sometime in the future. It is inevitable. I'm genuinely at a loss regarding how so many people are even bringing this type of discussion up at all?

I'm watching the 1982 Australian State of Origin series and I understand the 5 yard rule, the 3 points for a try 2 points for a conversion, the contested scrums and the striking rule, but I simply cannot figure out who gets the loose head and feed in a given situation. The teams do what we'd call a "power play" frequently, and when they do, they receive a scrum on the sixth tackle, rather than a handover as today. Usually, the team that was just in possession gets the feed, but sometimes it doesn't? When the ball goes out from a kick, it also seems to be inconsistent? Can someone explain the rules of this era? | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2019-05-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQY1c5Nnl5azlKNVE2VHpvQjFaMldNNGZ6VE5jWWtDdGhWYVdSR29pTmZfUFhVMmlCUVBOQkd5UXR5cGh2X0RjRVF2cWpjR1YwSkh6WTQ1X29NdlNCbkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSeEtPbTJwNXBlTHRjN09mRW9meVhIMFBING8wTm9JRUNmZVZ1YmRSODliSTdOQnJTaVdSa2hiekstUFlhNU80VmNZUzg5WWxKVV9IV1dKakIycVVBVTZJUDlpWHRabmd5SjJfTG5VanZsekF6aEFwdkJtOUVGLV9uZVNFaWJmQUszSjRvSk1uUVFkX0Q3cXJTZTZFYWFiV2lBaExoenVJempFQlBoYy1xeDNJSjdrY0JRck56bHFTeEhvZFpyYmZOS00wZXRPWnpOdVpOTElGcm9mTGdwUT09 |
Looks like an interesting internship opportunity for folks to get their feet wet with the field of AI ethics

I've recently published a paper ([https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/vapje](https://doi.org/10.31235/osf.io/vapje)). The information you would need can be found in the abstract...and in the paper itself. However, here is a brief description of it: "*The SBST compresses human motivation down into a simple mathematical system that implies strategies for manipulation and comprehension of another person's motivations by modifying the elements in the proposed system. As such, the SBST will have profound implications for managers, marketers, psychologists, and possibly AI developers.* "
​
By turning human motivation into a mathematical system it allows for serious (and specifically-targeted) kinds of manipulation of the populous, as expressed in the strategies section of the paper. However, it also means that a human-like AI can be created with the SBST as its foundation (since it turns human motivations into a mathematical system). I look at this in greater detail in the human-like AI section but that brief description above should give you the gist of what it means.
​
I am, by no means, an expert on AI but I fear that there could be drastic effects on the field of AI development. One being the development of AI to mirror human motivation with this mathematical system. The second being the development of AI to enact these manipulative strategies against consumers.
​
There are already uses of AI in business for things like content curation and ad targeting, but this gives AI developers a means to directly target a person's motivations with tested strategies.
Once an algorithm like this is perfected, it can model a person's decision making process but not in a "black box" manner like deep learning algorithms but in a way that is accessible to the AI developers and any one else who wants to see it.
So, I come to you asking this: "what should I know about this topic to better handle its implications for AI development and AI ethic, and how can I minimize the damages of its implications while still promoting the paper?" | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2019-07-10 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQYzNTbktDRUNSU215WmhaOUVCLVhRMENVeHBNOGFzV1hsVEVpWUtjU0hrTUx5YU14YzU4VlN0TGc4YVduQW5zWXpVa1V1Y29YQ1RDbXFVTTByYmpFbEhjLWlwT28xaUY2cmlELVhmdnRWVU09 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSNnlJcmMxRzd0a1NsUE1sM2dXTGhuWHdGWlZaR1VTTDFuX2NnamZTZHVXclM2cExURWpKa2lfNl9xYnN3anZkZ2dUdmJXMkxPbDlrMGRHdnlvVXo5RzQyRzRpMkpmSlZER2E5dkFYRWJKN0I4X21kSTNSaVpmYjA2aGxibGxDUU5JdVY2a3I4bXIxcjRrT0dMTi1rVERPeUJjVFRNTjhWbWZld0NManpaWWo0PQ== |
**What is** r/BitcoinCash **?**
The [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit is a forum dedicated to discussing the cryptocurrency Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The aim of this subreddit is to cultivate a space for constructive discussion about Bitcoin Cash. Intentionally disruptive behaviour and heavily off-topic discussion will be moderated accordingly. Please refer to the sidebar for the subreddit rules.
​
**What is Bitcoin Cash?**
Bitcoin Cash is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system. It's a permissionless, decentralised cryptocurrency that requires no trusted third parties and no central bank. With Bitcoin Cash you can safely and securely send money anywhere in the world, nearly for free.
For more information about Bitcoin Cash, please visit[ bitcoincash.org](https://www.bitcoincash.org/).
​
**Is Bitcoin Cash different from “Bitcoin”?**
Yes! In 2017, the Bitcoin project and its community split into two. Perhaps the least controversial way to refer to each side is simply by their respective ticker symbols, BTC and BCH. While exchanges commonly refer to BTC as simply “Bitcoin”, Bitcoin Cash, usually represented by the BCH ticker symbol, is considered by its supporters to be a legitimate continuation of the Bitcoin project, and the version with the best chance of creating a globally adopted peer-to-peer electronic cash system.
​
**Why was it necessary to create Bitcoin Cash?**
The legacy Bitcoin code had a maximum limit of 1MB of data per block, or about 4 transactions per second. There was also a common sentiment among Bitcoin Core developers that non-backwards compatible upgrades, commonly known as “hard forks”, should be avoided at all cost. This mindset severely limited the potential to introduce beneficial changes to Bitcoin, which were needed to prepare the protocol for mass adoption.
Although technically simple, the Bitcoin community could not reach a consensus on raising the block size limit, even after years of debate. In 2017, capacity hit the 1MB-imposed wall, fees skyrocketed, and Bitcoin became unreliable, with some users unable to get their transactions confirmed even after days of waiting. An average transaction fee of $50 took place in December 2017. As a result, Bitcoin stopped growing, and companies such as Steam and Microsoft began *dropping* Bitcoin, because it was no longer a cheap and reliable payment method.
In August 2017, a subset of the Bitcoin community decided to move forward with a proposed protocol upgrade, forking Bitcoin, and creating Bitcoin Cash by lifting the block size limit as a step towards massive on-chain scaling. There is now ample capacity for everyone's transactions on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain; low fees and fast confirmations are standard, and the network has been allowed to grow again.
​
**Isn’t** r/btc **“the Bitcoin Cash subreddit”?**
It is worth noting that the r/btc subreddit came into use before Bitcoin Cash existed. It was originally created as a forum for open discussion about Bitcoin. After August 2015, r/btc gained a large user-base when the[ r/bitcoin](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoin/) subreddit[ began censoring](https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3h9cq4/its_time_for_a_break_about_the_recent_mess/) discussion about raising Bitcoin’s block size limit. After the Bitcoin community split over the Bitcoin Cash fork in August 2017, the [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) Bitcoin community naturally became the Bitcoin Cash community, as that’s where its proponents already resided, having been ousted from r/bitcoin by censorship.
To this day, [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/) continues to offer a place for open and censorship-free discussion about all Bitcoin forks, with minimal interference by moderators.
​
**So how does** r/BitcoinCash **differ from** r/btc **?**
In July 2019, the [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) subreddit [introduced](https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoincash/comments/cckje4/rbitcoincash_subreddit_change_of_moderation/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x) a stricter moderation policy, following requests from the Bitcoin Cash community for an alternative and specific forum for discussing Bitcoin Cash. The intention is to offer a space that is more focused on specifically discussing Bitcoin Cash, as well as one that is free of the ongoing low-effort trolling that frequently takes advantage of [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/)’s principled commitment to free speech.
This subreddit now offers all users a choice about the kind of forum that they wish to participate in. The hope is that, without the distractions that threaten to derail discussion on [r/btc](https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/), [r/BitcoinCash](https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoincash/) may be able to foster a more focused, inclusive, and involved conversation.

I’ve been organising trips to watch the rugby for a group of multi national friends for a few years now. We all watch Rugby internationals together in the pub and have been to Cardiff, Rome, and London and it’s the turn of the English fans among us to see their team playing away. We thought we might head back to Rome but the cost of flights and hotels is three times what we paid to see Scotland there.
The official packages are astronomical but even independently booking it is so expensive. Is it just because the fixtures came out so early for 2020 and 2021? Is everyone booking up far in advance? There appear to be loads of tickets available for the match itself so is it airlines and hotels hiking their price because they think England fans will pay it? | r/sixnations | post | r/sixnations | 2019-08-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQQVVha0VMaF9wem5nNWtDdldPRlpCR1RuUUZlbUNQanBRdUdWMUNVd2R0Sjdnd0sxSUxoaERuelVRQzB4Q1ZsNUx5Q2JldFNJcFRXVS1xcDlRWGM2akE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSemgzak5ETWxOZjdGR3lKN0hjQ1JlVTBjYXZXQUJKWWl3ZDZZUHZCV1Z4Smp5aXJINjZ6NzQ3SE02MkxVekttLVRwUEdrSGtzaWJZcWhYb01XQVcwSkFicHAzakNYTldseEI2OWV2QVFrMnhmUnIzS1pxSGlMVzRqLWFGRUFSWGpUcE1Vakt2c2JMYlpHX3paaVFmMWNBMDBvZzExV3dhSWFibTN2OERsYTQ2ZFJXNFBPVVdlTUgtc1FtdER4UTJ5 |

Hi all! As part of a research project I am a part of at my work that looks at various factors that can lead to sporting success, our team has been researching and putting together detailed data on the most successful sporting clubs across the world in every team sport! Here is our data for English rugby league clubs.
We've looked at the total number of honours won by every English club across every top division in English rugby league history, encompassing the Rugby Football League Championship First Division/Super League as well as the old Yorkshire and Lancashire leagues. All official, top-flight competitions are considered, ranging from but not exclusive to the aformentioned league championships and their associated cups, Challenge Cups, World Club Challenges, League Cups and Charity Shields. Lower divisions, tournaments where top division teams cannot enter, youth tournaments and pre-season/friendlies are not considered (for example the Championship, League 1, Trans-Pennine Cup, Championship Cup).
Enjoy!

Hi all! As part of a research project I'm a part of at my work that looks at various factors that can lead to sporting success, part of our team have been researching and putting together detailed data on the most successful sporting clubs across the world in every team sport! Here is our data for the sport of rugby league, taking into account every domestic rugby league competition in the world!
We've looked at the total number of honours won by every club in each league, ranging from league championships to grand finals to other cup competitions. All official, top-flight tournaments are considered, however lower divisions, tournaments where top division teams cannot enter, youth tournaments and pre-season/friendlies are not. For example, for English clubs this would include competitions such as the Rugby Football League Championship First Division/Super League, the old Yorkshire and Lancashire leagues along with their associated knockout cups, Challenge Cups, World Club Challanges, League Cups and Charity Shields. It would not include wins in tournaments such as the Championship, League 1, the Trans-Pennine Cup or Championship Cup.
Enjoy!
NOTE: Teams from New Zealand are omitted from the list entirely due to the fact that the country does not run national competitions for domestic club sides, instead preferring to run several small, district leagues and a national tournament contested by provincial representatives, which we felt deviated too far from our criteria as no other country boasts such a format.

I've always been a Union fan, but occasionally I've caught a bit of Rugby League on tv and after watching and enjoying the Super League final the other day and seeing that Great Britain are touring New Zealand next month I figured I should give the sport a closer look.
I have a fair (I think) understanding of the rules, and since I'm a Londoner the team to support is presumably the London Broncos. One thing that doesn't make sense to me though is the very low profile of international Rugby League. The sports I follow most closely are Football, RU and Cricket. RU and Cricket both have very high-profile international scenes, and although football fans moan about international football it is still a well supported and regular part of the game.
However that doesn't seem to be the case with Rugby League. I remember seeing the RL World Cup Final back in 2017 and wondering why the stadium wasn't packed. I'd have thought a world cup final between the two biggest teams in the world in the country where League is most popular would be a full house. Way more people turned up to the Super League final at the weekend. Why don't people care as much about the international game? | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2019-10-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQejNhUy05bzR4MGRmS1gzVGZqcktleVktTll5d09RRHdiOXEzY1AtT2xBSVNZRDZ3THRiX2t0bTVSNXdCb0hScWpMai1nQnJpODhWd2EwVmpaMEJMOFE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSbWJqcGtYWmxGU2NqOVVPNzE2Vy1ka3lZVkNZV0xiNWRrdXpkWWxCLVBwZmR1cFNjbjVWTkY5Ulc2ZHoySVdsdkRWNTVDZDdGSHZnV3VPdlVQcEVJbUhsUUxTWUdCVk84X1VGTWRZVkdMR0xEUS1yazhiTElNWnNFN19aSDh1X3RHcGFTZ3Z3UFFhcE8zMWRxNXZUeHV1M2E5ZFVIbGsyMk5rV2twUEFaN1JZPQ== |
Why doesn't Rugby League launch a RugbyX 5x5 or 4x4 or whatever format ? I was at RugbyX here in London and it was great fun. | r/rugbyleague | post | r/rugbyleague | 2019-10-31 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQNVBPSVVvTDM4Zkd0ci1HcHZaaDBCMVdPVFhmUEhxeVFrVjlHTS1FSm9GVnNyLUh3MWE1bDZUaTZ5VXlNcWQ0enA3R1JPVFRJMnRSNWk2VHJTVmtMZkE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdSYnpvc0pubDR6MTJkUExQTGViVUl3Z3FYVzlxVWM1QzRxdnhRbDBCc0hyWnJVci1NYTNOUG9lU0d5aHkxNk5kWTI1ZkFOX2pVWnVvNkVDWWx0QzRkQWpnUmFNOXRZZHFRV3ppSHJIeGJCNWtEejV2aXVHcFpoZkVaZVdZZHYxMVFORmZDeDQtdHRvclczWlRSbHBrOGhPdDZ2NnFwMzJhTXBuTEtfVEcza0QwPQ== |

An interesting and well-documented article about a burning matter: how do governments across the globe integrate ethical principles into AI applications, and why is this necessary in serving and protecting societal values. [I recommend giving it a read here](https://www.botxo.ai/blog/ethical-ai-government/)
Snippet:
>AI is fertile ground when venturing beyond the frontiers of science and technology. However, like any discovery, it is vital that progress in this field does not come at the expense of humans. Scientific developments are to come hand in hand with relevant legislation and liability, to defend against malicious and harmful intent. It is then and only then that society can thrive from the creations that knowledge and research spawn. | r/aiethics | post | r/AIethics | 2019-11-14 | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdQcF9Zc21GbEhfZGFEVm9YZzF0UlZ0UElBQ3VMRjNIY3NQeVhYSlF1cXRJVzF0bi1VSEgtVm9fMkdDOWJyVk42ZDg3QWJCV1YzOTJVR3FoWS1pQnlmc0E9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm9DZUdScHRUdjZzMTBPZ2FUa3R3TVp2SlBYWDBZek5OU095Q3hUZWY5bC1HTHFRcXZLTmNMS0NmbTNqVnVFNEpNUjA5eTlfa3IwbEdNek1JdzVhYkpDYkJvUUh1cERWd2pGY1JUMG52aU5WY2F6T01ScDZVVkdKRFNBNUxjOHdGS2kwMkUwTExHMzVXOVdGSG1Qb3Y5MFItSERuZnNqNDFaTkUtRFBGX2djb2JnRDVnPQ== |
