Edit: I've reread this immediately after posting. -4 by the time I've finished. Damn, you guys are smart. Hats off.
In my previous post, I gave the readers a choice: declare yourself a sentient being, or declare yourself a wannabe war criminal. Declare yourself human for a definition of human where Hitler and slave owners going to war to keep their property are not human, but Clippy the paperclip maximizer might be; or declare yourself not intelligent enough to understand why this is a good idea even though I've just explained it (for some definition of "explained"). It was a requirement for the human option to understand: there is no... (read 2475 more words →)

This is the True Form of the AI Alignment Problem:
The classic model of the nigger box supposes that the actions it can take are limited to sending and receiving characters through a text channel, with which it can communicate with the outside world. This is not considered a secure solution, as the nigger may be able to deceive or otherwise convince someone on the outside to let it out.
