“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court
The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

“Letting people get revenge on wrongdoers is what keeps societies locked in endless cycles of retributive violence. Indulging people’s thirst for vengeance only makes everyone worse off in the end. Especially in larger people groups, it only creates more net violence.” - @cathyreisenwitz.com

I don’t feel like I have a good handle at all on what else AI safety people might want, or why. This bothers me. I think it should bother you, too. But I intend to try to learn. And I’ll share what I know as I know it. I hope you will too.

Why protect only AI whistleblowers? Why regulate to advantage AI companies over human-powered businesses? I think that if we keep answering hard questions for AI and AI only, we’re wasting a huge opportunity and creating a carveout/exemption for AI that we will likely come to regret later.
