 How do we put our eggs in your basket because we're relying on your ethical and moral standards with the general intelligence that you're building as with anyone who would be building one we would be relying on yeah you're relying on the community not just me personally right yeah I mean if in the unlikely event like I were invaded by a Martian mind virus and went that shit crazy and became malevolent I mean there's a load of other contributors to these projects so it's about seeding a community of people who are are thinking in somewhat of a shared way and aiming to develop things in a benevolent manner. And what are the guiding principles of your community that make it ethically and morally just grounded and that we can trust that? Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Sex, drugs and rock and roll. Besides those, besides that, I think I mean at an abstract level the ethical principles I've written about are basically joy, growth, choice and continuity and I think all of these have an important value in a practical context. I mean we're trying to promote happiness and doing good and we try to have a work environment in the community that's fun to be in. I mean we're trying to grow and expand rapidly and create new patterns create new things new technologies new ways of being. Choice means you know we want everyone to have agency and that's an important part of the whole decentralized ethos there shouldn't be a few elites control everything and continuity means you want to respect the patterns of history as well as creating new patterns and this includes like persisting human beings into the into the future instead of replacing them with super AIs it also includes being respectful of you know historical cultures that exist now and then certain people are very tied into and of course values like these are very nebulously defined though and sort of interpreting what they mean is part of what a community does.
