I’ve had enough internet for one day. I read the question as “Should I continue with existence” and thought you were talking about fully discorporating out of the universe rather than take a nap.

People replying - how about telling us why you consider your answer a must-install tool?

American cheese doesn’t look like it’ll ever deteriorate.

Afganistan said no when the US wanted Bin Laden. Two and a half trillion dollars later the exact same people are back in charge and now they’re armed with modern American weapons instead of vintage Soviet ones. Everyone lost except the people who said no to the US.

I don’t know what the US congress is any more, but in other countries it’s because they really really want to expel someone and the deportee’s home country might say “no thanks, they’re your problem”.

What’s this, an attempt to kick an addiction?

I’ve never heard of an extension like that.

I feel like it’s probably good to study it, but there’s no need to report it to the news media.

Crazy thought, but hear me out: we put Spielberg and Bay in the mechs and let them fight over it. We’ll have so much good footage for the edit!

Nah, it’s cool. If they become a problem we just de-extinct dire gorillas to fight them. What could go wrong?

Is there a bad Tom Hanks movie? I think maybe Joe Vs The Volcano comes closest, but I still enjoyed it.

Lots of things emit photons. I emit photons.

Most people everywhere are slightly left of centre*. Most leaders everywhere are slightly right of centre*.

This is my next project for when I discover a reserve of time and energy I didn’t know I had.

It never occurred to me that the shells would be edible. I mean, I don’t eat clam or oyster shells.

Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,

I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.

are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity

The first one’s always the hardest.

, and would AGI enter a rebellious teen phase around age 15 where it starts drinking our scotch and smoking weed in the backseat of its friends older brothers car?

If they don’t, they’re missing out. :)

I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.

But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.

So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

I heard Money For Nothing earlier and more often, so it’s the other way round for me.

“Fox proposes new brand of locks for henhouse.”

But it WON’T blow my mind because all these articles ever say is “eh, maybe”.
