Cafe Meetup 3/28: The Orthogonality Thesis and Clippy

[Austin Less Wrong]

Cafe Meetup 3/28: The Orthogonality Thesis and Clippy Author: Silas Barta Categories: Events At this meetup, we’ll discuss the Orthogonality Thesis, that any level of intelligence is compatible with any kind of goal i.e. there could exist a “Clippy” superintelligence that only cares about making paperclips. See the link for background on the topic, and the contrast with “inevitabilist” theses which argue e.g. “It doesn’t matter what kind of AI you build, it will turn out to only pursue its own survival as a final end.” *** The meetup is at Central Market, 4001 N. Lamar, in the cafe area. Look for the LW and SSC signs. People start arriving at 1:30 pm, and the main activity (such as it is) will begin at 2:30 pm. Please follow in-store signs and guidance.
