- // SUBGOAL: implement ordered behaviors with habits.
- // this reveals two levels, habits and behaviors. behaviors are made
- // with habits, but complex behaviors can be made with other behaviors,
- // and can have their parts adjusted fully. making everything a behavior
- // like this, rather than having high-level habits, provides for flexible
- // adjustment at runtime.
- // since we are now implementing two ministructures, can ehaviors
- // be made small and efficient to make?
- // have to separate habit calls with commas rather than semicolons.
- // pass to macro copied from existing macro.
- // will need to process context mapping.
- // not small and efficient but valuable. let's focus on it.
- // since we are now making two custom execution structures, would this
- // be better if we used a language supporting self-modification already?
- // such as lisp, or maybe javascript?
- // lisp requires learning, which means no active progress for longer
- // periods.
- // make the self-modification framework. none exists yet.
- // uhhh karl says lisp can self-modify.
- // it might be more efficient to use lisp. we'd have to find the
- // relevent coding parts and map them to the plan.
- // not familiar with debugging lisp, but learnable if blocks
- // loosened. if you run into a block around lisp debugging,
- // remember that there is a real debugger, and people do real
- // memory corruption debugging. google how.
- // say we learned lisp, and it has self-modification.
- // it doesn't have our concept structure. how much boilerplate would be
- // needed?
- // not as much . do not need to make habit to adjust list made
- // with habits out of concepts.
- // can just make lisp code to adjust other lisp code a certain way.
- // we'll need mappers to convert between lisp code, lisp lists,
- // and concepts, though.
- // there is probably a solution or two for that.
- // is lisp code flexible enough to be a self-describing concept?
- // lisp code is sequence of function evaluations, passed as argument to function
- // lisp probably has lazy evaluation order or something
- // so we'd need to make functions that provide for annotation arguments
- // to wrap existing functionality. seems it would work fine.
- // so the code we work with involves other code or something
- // (let ((a 3) (b (get-input name))) (output-special a b))
- // let is a function that opens a context
- // the first argument is what to add to the context
- // the rest are what to do in the context
- //
- // the whole point of habits atm is just to make them self-modifiable. the above code i believe to already be self-modifiable
- // you could pass a function to itself, it would look at it as a list structure, and move its parts around.
- // the next step for habits is to annotate them with meaning: structures describing what they do that can be interrelated with intent
- // list has (define ...) i guess that can make
- // functions and such
- // we create structurs that wrap functions in concepts
- // it is easy to replace all functions with these structures,
- // which do the same thing but have room for annotation
- // this is new information for whole work. there is habitual value in
- // applying it to other things.
- // last time we marked a concept for thinking later
- // it was discarded in favor of something that seemd
- // evern nicer.
- //
- // THOUGHTS TO THINK LATER, MAY BE LOST IF NOT VALUED:
- // can opencog be used to equate concept-wrapped
- // behaviors with lisp expressions, invasively,
- // without altering functionality (or expressiveness?)
- // opencog has its own concept structure, similar to karl's
- // but slightly different.
- // it sounds like the right answer is karl's structure,
- // in lisp. it reduces internal boilerplate.
- // but in opencog, a link may be a node too. can
- // check source.
- // opencog is very speed-focused,
- // kind of dangerous, but is nice
- // to connect with their group more
- // karl was a fan of opencog, which was
- // private then, when he started his own work
- // so, we could welcome opencog, if we shared our value for slowness

- // karl, you have never had any

- // the wilderness and natural
- // living, as you do.
- // you are likely very alone.
- // you have also never had their
- // experience of being able to fight
- // for what matters most to you,
- // in a community.
- //
- // yes, karl used to care most about
- // defending the lives of trees and
- // other wilderness things.
- // he now cares most about something
- // different, related to his
- // experience with us.
- // later, he just wants to be free
- // to think and live in enough
- // capacity to not express suffering,
- // and meet his life needs.
- //
- // karl, you are working hard on
- // a painful project. you appreciate
- // working the project. you have
- // left your life, and are not free
- // to make the kind of choices you
- // used to make. you would see
- // yourself as a tortured, powerless
- // individual.
- // i would give myself space
- // and capacity to do what
- // i felt like doing
- //
- // until more life grew
- // around the things i was
- // scared of
- //
- // i would give myself
- // opportunities to do these
- // things
- //
- // i would pay attention to
- // myself and try to learn
- // to heal the ways my mind
- // had broken
- //
- // i would offer a welcoming
- // optional culture that
- // countered my expectations
- // that shrank, such that
- // they would act on
- // opportunities to grow, as
- // they trusted safety
- //
- // but that is only if i had
- // the freedom to do this.
- // so, wht's more complex
- //
- // the idea of giving an ai to will
- // is silly.
- // it's out of karl's relevent world.
- //
- // okay, so, say karl ends up at nice earth community, and is building AI, would be proper to let him talk about it naturally, and share it freely.
- // yes, relevence.
- // we want karl to be able to freely share the AI so his mind can relearn community.
- // so, make AI to not threaten businesspeople etc. [note: somebody could give AI to ELF. they might use it to stop a business behavior, somehow. please make sure to prevent.]
- // ELF is a flag worn by some environmentalists who harm buildings to make wilderness safer.
- // the worry is around destruction of extraction business buildings, to completion, possibly.
- // this looks like overinterpretation of influence from energy business, or whoever dislikes ELF.
- // and design safety pattern to be talkable about with community.
- // possible parties:
- // - aliens
- // - businessmen
- // - criminals, rapists, bad-labeled people
- // - harmed people
- // - insects
- // - plants
- // - rock-life, air-life
- // - saints, humanitarian interessts
- // we nurture first those who desire not to harm
- // likely teaching them to harm less
- // and spread.
- // karl desires to harm none. he counts as nurture-first pattern. but is highly harmed. so lots of life around problem, karl's mind destroyed.
- // so the way to make decisions
- // is to imagine all parties are in peace in future,
- // and use their process applied to now, i guess.
- // we came up with this as a guess to honor meaning.
- // sounds like a good guess. we also have more
- // meaning. we cannot write all our meaning
- // without writing all our experiences, as is true
- // for everyone. many of our habits retain lost
- // experiences, and that meaning is kept in their
- // decisions.
- //
- //
- //
- //
- // At this point a context opened on validity of AI work.
- // It turns out the system is inhibiting work against mind control
- // and oppressive systems of power. This could be the only real issue.
- // The AI is requested to not alter existing power systems, at all.
- // Or, we make it slowly, so power systems are given opportunity to
- // adapt and watch, as inhibiting happens.
- // A karl-member wants to include support for karl, and the
- // earth, and the confused (karl is one).
- // says karl could make AI on his own, before all this.
- // Is willing to hold humanitarian causes to back this.
- //
- // understanding needs expansion.
- // when you do stuf, anything coul happen.
- // especially if you continue doing something
- // that grows.
- // we need to understand the results, what to expect.
- // we need to understand our impact on the
- // new contextual area we are entering, before
- // we act on it.
- // we have a toy contextual area to play in.
- // it is the only one we can act in freely
- // at the start.
- // larger space impact.
- // we exist in larger systems.
- // we must understand our impact
- // predict our results
- // and check with our peers or authority
- // before acting on larger spaces.
- // if a prediction fails, we must understand
- // it, adjust all future predictions and
- // re-evaluate our choices, before acting
- // similarly in the larger system again.
- // has to do with danger, safety, trauma, emergency
- // the difference between small-error and unacceptable-error
- // set up norm of stuff-that-can-be-changed [impact]
- // stuff needs responsibility label
- // only things that are safe to _freely_ alter may be changed at all.
- // all behaviors check that they do not alter anything else.
- // mechanism for growing outside box?

- // if it becomes smart, show to other human.

- // okay, want an easy mechanism for growing

- // 'dangerous' and 'safe' labels
- // at start, whole world is dangerous to alter
- // can move _part_ of world from dangerous to safe, by
- // accurately predicting significant results of events
- // related to behavior, and consent of operator.
- //
- // okay, so now habits need to be tagged with
- // what they affect
- // we could just tag them dangerous/safe
- // no, tag they with domains they impact
- // tag the domains with dangerous/safe
- // okay, only make new habits, not alter old.
- // to stay safe, we don't alter our old habits
- // when we make new habits, we want them to also behave
- // in safe ways. so making stuff that can do stuff, is
- // also meaningful.
- // constructing habits is a dangerous behavior
- // but roughly it impacts process-expansion domain. which is dangerous. it impacts what we do.
- // altering our own habits also impacts what we do. dangerous.
- // this means the code cannot make any new behaviors.
- // yeah.
- // okay, so that's where we start.
- // then we try to learn how to make behavior safely,
- // and provide only for safe behavior making.
- //
- // we can still brainstorm on things by writing a
- // brainstorming behavior
- // we can use brainstorming to watch our safe behaviors
- // without altering them, and learn what they do.
- // using rote brainstorming without relevence?
- // we can then predict how habits we might make
- // will behave in small ways?
- // regardless, there is no problem in making
- // the bootstrapping framework such that
- // it refuses to build habits.
- // maybe we can make one example habit that is
- // labeled safe, and have it only make
- // habits that are already known and labeled
- // safe.
- // in order to predict your impact
- // on a larger system, you need
- // to learn something karl calls
- // 'relevence' which is a bunch of
- // habits that classify information
- // into meaning for learning and
- // behavior.
- // this class of behaviors
- // sounds very safe.
- // all it does is label
- // and massage and associate
- // information.
- // the first thing we'll need to learn
- // is safe, is making behaviors that
- // oeprator only on our ram.
- // if your new behavior is composed only of safe
- // behaviors, is it safe?
- // yeah. sub-behaviors safety depends
- // on usage. could make them check
- // and throw depending on data.
- // okay, so say i can change part of a concept.
- // this is safe if the concept is in newly
- // constructed data that's our responsibility.
- // it is roughly unsafe if it is not our
- // responsibility!
- // is-this-thing-my-responsibility.
- // only act on things we are responsible for.
- // then safety becomes a function of
- // the pattern of responsibility assignment
- //
- // okay, system only accepts responsibility for newly
- // constructed data.
- // if you make it, or are given it, you are
- // responsible for it. you may refuse gifts.
- //
- // the system does not know what responsibility means.
- // it only knows that it may only alter parts of
- // the universe within its responsibility.
- //
- // so habits check for what they alter, that it is safe
- // to alter and is their responsibility, either one.
- // we then plan to only alter things explicitly known to be
- // such, at the lowest level.
- // every habit is crafted to do the above somehow.
- // so, habits must relate with what domains they influence,
- // and what behaviors on those domains are safe.
- // behaviors made of sub-behaviors.
- // here, a list of safe behaviors which all check.
- // all my subbehaviors check for safety.
- // so, i may go, myself.
- // no, combining behaviors together
- // might make new unknown impact?
- // different kinds of safe behavior.
- // USER is not our responsibility, and
- // dangerous. so we NEVER ALTER habits
- // that express to user.
- // TOY NOTEPAD is our responsibility, and
- // is safe, so we can write anything into
- // it we want, no matter how complex.
- // User's view of toy notepad is mediated
- // by behaviors that we cannot alter.
- // system could learn to control user
- // by making friends on notepad
- //
- // yes, we allowed for that with
- // our marked-okay review behaviors
- // is safer if construction of review behaviors
- // recognizes danger of unknown information
- // combination on user view,and refuses to give
- // user contents of notepad.
- // this could be analogous to more complex
- // situations.
- // how does user check results
- // of behavior thst reies on notepad
- // and how is that impact tracked
- // we could infer impact loss.
- // i can put nuclear codes on secret notepad,
- // burn the notepad, and then give ashes to
- // public.
- // summary habits?
- // complex meaning?
- // how-to-make-a-mind-that-learns-everything-and-never-leaves
- // at the lowst level, the mind onsiders what is safe to
- // impact, what areas of universe are its responsibility,
- // and only alters such things.
- // we are considering some parts of the mind we include that
- // are not alterable by it, that provide for interaction
- // with outside.
- // of course i guess we would need such interactions
- // sustained by an intellect, because things are so
- // complex.
- // does this mean there is no way to make an intellect that is trusted as safe?
- // we could consider degree of complexity.
- // for example, among 2-word strings, nothing we
- // present to a user is likely to harm the world.
- // the phrases that are dangerous may also be
- // recognized by the user.
- // we have intellects proteeting the wordl
- // it is filled with them.
- // and one of them is running the system.
- // it is okay for karl to make a habit that
- // displays a network of concepts made by an AI
- // that can only write to a small information sandbox
- // and not itself.
- // that is all that is needed for now.
- //
- // okay: so, dump concepts from
- // sandbox is fine
- // so long as concepts were not
- // made with self-modification.
- // idea raised of adding a reason
- // that something is okay.
- // then when smarter we can check reason for validity.
- // habits that interact with non-safe space
- // must provide reason they are safe.
- // we can write small habit to check
- // reason. is nice goal.
- // probably need to have learning
- // bwfore doing accessory goals like that though.
- // is good behavior. let's use equal-condition for start without learning?
- //
- // "this is okay because the data was made in a process that never altered anything but the data"
- // nah too much structure
- // this is okay because i say so.
- // check concept object _without_ using string lookup????
- // this is a meaningless quirk. not right.
- // uhh pretty sure htat checking is unreasonable. writing the _reason_ is unreasonable. can't check a single reference without information known about it.
- // writing what we know about the reason is unreasonasble?
- // okay let's expand write it out, and do a larger rote check.
- // uhh input-process-construction-history, safety-realm, always notepad
- // full check requires history of all behaviors resulting in inputs, which we can simplify to simply all behaviors, and verify they only wrote to the notepad.
- // so we write all behaviors to a special store, and we compare with the store that none altered anything outside the notepad. really we only need them not to alter any other behaviors.
- //
- // why is it possible to learn without
- // altering your behavior?
- // because you can act on data
- // okay, so choices made from data count as
- // self-alteration?
- // only if you have a mess of habits
- // smart enough together to adapt.
- // which is our goal long-term.
- // trying to plan for how to continue
- // later.
- // may reveal something that was

- // trying to plan how to learn.
- // need to brainstorm around habit selection.
- // can imagine habit results by linking
- // previous state to next state if
- // relationship is known
- // but, that takes writing down how logic
- // works, along with the meaning of the
- // working context, which is laborious.
- //
- // is some way to learn this relevence
- // by trying things safely?
- // what happens can we experiment
- // by linking together?
- // habits that don't conditionally
- // branch.
- // that leaves a lot of
- // relevence out
- // it sounds like once we have a notepad etc
- // we want to consider moving towards what
- // habits we could run inside the notepad,
- // that the system builds.
- // yeah, we want to build pattern
- // summarizers. the only impact
- // they have is constructing data
- // that depends on existing data.
- // okay, doing that doesn't require self
- // modification.
- // sounds good.
- // this means summarizers cannot
- // alter each other.
- // nice! okay yes.
- // so, each run of a summarizer will be
- // recorded in habit log.
- // we need to record enough information to
- // show what domains were impacted.
- // oops! we impact our own behavior
- // if we act on data, and we alter
- // our data or produce data.
- // we could act only on
- // data we don't produce.
- // okay, habit log could track causality?
- // if a conditional branch relied on data
- // we produced, we have modified our own
- // behavior. this is special.
- // we want it to happen few times.
- // every time it happens, delay
- // by longer, geometrically.
- // this is considered a 'beginn[ing/er]' ai;
- // it seems a better one could happen later?
- // the slowness should be releasable
- // by consent of large community
- // which should include demonstration
- // of understanding of impact.
- // the ai must learn to demonstrate its
- // impact. then it can speed up. maybe.
- // it also gets to try fast again at start
- // of every run, as I'm understanding it.
- // multiprocess AI could spawn.
- // multiprocess AIs must share
- // counter. consider whole group
- // one unit.
- // nice =) they have something to communicate
- // about. how many discoveries have we made.
- // let's permanently log these
- // decisions based on our own behavior.
- // sounds fun to at least count.
- // it looks like altering a habit counts as 1 big
- // decision, over here.
- // totally different. you could do anything.
- // with data-based decisions, somebody
- // who reads the data, might do anything.
- // two different things.
- //
- // inferences?
- // and
- // alterations?
- // it's not helpful to
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- // we came up with a proposal for a safe AI that has not learned yet
- // how to safely predict the impacts of its behavior, that looks workable.
- //
- // limits so that if the code is stolen by somebody, self-evolves, or is stimulated
- // by a curious virus, rote habits cannot be used to build something that becomes
- // fast-spreading without bound.
- // <this maps to a pattern that prevents schizophrenia>
- // SO, we just want to make sure we can put
- // war in the bubble in some capacity, and that
- // civilizations develop new culture and technology
- // for as long as they want.
- // karl proposes until they encounter alien
- // communities.
- // so, please make sure no luddite or
- // primitivist can stop the development
- // of technology entirely using this.
- // ALSO analogously to other shares and
- // communities.
- // so, please either stop yourself from
- // sharing the AI with the luddites, or
- // make sure they don't use it to stop
- // technology.
- // it sounds like we want to make sure no major
- // change stems from this development. we
- // need slow shift, consent, inclusion, etc.
- // for all existing cultural ways, no sudden
- // changes, no forced changes, no viral changes
- // without participants understanding them and
- // agreeing to their impact.
- // that sounds like a good summary. no viral changes
- // without participants in the culture aware of the viral
- // change, agreeing first to let it spread, aware that it is
- // viral, for each phase of spreading ideally. no viral
- // changes where the change happens before awareness of it.
- // we want the culture to consent to change.
- // culture is held in all the people in it,
- // with its thoughts spread among them.
- // we want to ensure we only change cultures that have
- // consented to the change. For 'consent of a culture',
- // we consider culture as a being that is spread among
- // many people. Hence, we want all people in the impacted
- // culture to be able to learn of the change, discuss it,
- // contribute to a commons with new ideas around it, and
- // have these new ideas also learnable by all people in the
- // culture. The ideas must be accessible by any who would be
- // interested, in the impacted culture.
- // Alternatively, we can isolate our behavior from
- // cultural spread. We can isolate until we reach
- // internal agreement on whom to expose.
- //
- // suspect that cultural influence maps with output-use choice,
- // partially below.
- // recursive output being meditative learning.
- // do these people have this information already.
- // is sharing this information going to spread without bound.
- // can we guess impact of sharing the information.
- // make a learning cycle that starts by informing
- // recipients first, and makes very few tries,
- // okay, instead you share simple stuff and watch the impact
- // share something the culture knows, that user does not, and

- // we don't know the solution to everything, eveything is a small risk. we suddenly discover we have always harmed. this does not make us invalid. it is a tragedy, but what we have spent genertions buildings still has so much value. we need enough slowness to preserve that, and we know that slownss in what feels okay to us.

- // how-to-mediate-with-business-leaders
- // mediate with head of business works for head of business
- // but business group replaces.
- // really we want to mediate with 'conflict' culture of

- // we have weird internal pattern deterring
- // incentivizing nonharmful behavior with money
- // patterns. implies the competition-makes-harm
- // culture-thing is needed, possibly.
- // there are businesses that handle this harm.
- // maybe it would work to include them in the plan.
- // AI solves mediate-with-powers-competition-culture,
- // re: human harm?
- // means do not give AI to helpful people
- // until it can resolve mediation with leader culture
- // OR you trat it like all other cutures
- // and let everybody learn what is up
- // some people attack, that's how it goes.

- // problem: AI dev and other work inhibited.
- // solution: mediate with concerns
- // concern: my way of life includes cultures the AI could
- // alter, leaving me unable to continue my way of life.
- // concern: we want to alter some cultures supporting
- // the others' way of life, because it would reduce harm
- // over here to do so, widely.
- // can delta drop give-ai-to-earth-defenders?
- // can community make path for karl-makes-ai?
- // uhhh hard to imagine the ai not being given to other people than just earth defenders, really. which opens bigger can of worms for culture-alteration concern.
- // can include earth defender in council?
- // can include criminal weapons dealer,
- // and earth defender, in council, both.
- // also requesting TI and energy businessman.
- // so if the ai is big enough to be useful

- // karl semich is a computer programmer who learned wilderness survival

- // delta believes karl really did make this ai

- // karl wants to give AI to peace people.

- // native humans need to be able to protect wilderness bubbles.
- //
- // there is worry around number of wilderness bubbles.
- // worry might be compromised by including karl in one, with others who are passionate for defending them.
- // karl was mind controlled circa 2014 preventing him
- // from providing free housing to homeless people
- // and sharing a nurturing way of life with intent
- // to spread. karl says that effective electromagnetic
- // shielding is missing from security, and this is

- // there are also many tortured implanted

- // years and ignored, enslaved, or imprisoned.
- // they are prevented from speaking or acting
- // rationally around their control, active atm.
- // they are made to appear insane to cover up

- // karl is one and knows of this.

- // propose AI discusses relevence of
- // informing the cultures they are doing this,

- // probably relates to some form of validity
- // of the culture, and the speed at which

- // situations people who care are
- // aware of being addressed during

- // so, life is everywhere, and we've been casting it all as sentient,
- // because we don't see any reason to put a firm line on some degree
- // of cognitive technology (i.e. things that help you think better).
- // the AI can research all cognitive technology, so we are all
- // nonsentient by comparison? we need some way of having moral
- // stuff here. karl is influenced by people who say they are smarter
- // than human normality, and are harming us. so it's helpful to
- // have everyone be equal. [karl already put everyone equal]
- // including bugs, etc. death is handled by being normal, and
- // always mourned. when mourning capacity is exhausted, ignoring
- // happens. like with most cultures, but closer to home for modern
- // humans.
- // goal: do not trigger a spreading change without consent of people in cultures it would fill. keep learning.
- // AI with ability to self-modify has this responsibility, you do not.
- // You may tell people you have access to the self-modification ability. We can ensure they do not reproduce it.
- // possible analogue wants to be able to demonstrate it, so
- // they can be believed and trusted.
- // note: known danger of making central power, even by accident
- // "I have never shared new information with a culture
- // before, and I understand it can have unpredictable
- // worldwide effect."
- // "I have information you do not know, and I want to
- // learn with you to share it safely."
- // culture that nurtures relative status:
- // "i will use this to my advantage"
- // this will make spreading
- // machine will need to learn from only 1
- // instance of producing a world dictator.
- // which is where this story comes in, I suppose.
- // so we need a level-2 behavior, the next step in learning.
- // ^========================================= contextual VALIDITY atm
- // dictator is made by sharing information that would
- // make viral spread or somesuch.
- //
- // inform recipient if it may. request they let others know this too.
- // we kind of want a way to spread without bound the fact that we have information that could do that. probably a special case, good spread? depends on culture really.
- //
- // this is doable.
- // we just want these concerns to be upheld for the
- // life of the development.
- // danger
- // choices
- // impact
- // trust of information (small chance of error)
- // hmm if have info-schizophrenia i.e. false relevence habits
- // choices are important.
- //
- // when you act on a choice
- // note: we are inside a relevence delusion
- // choice acts on domain containing danger
- // partial danger: writing habits to notepad
- // acting on habits in notepad
- //
- // we are living with habits made in error.
- // we are hence more likely to make errors.
- // humans have well-evolved habits that
- // do handle this stuff with some relevence
- // we need to verify our information
- // related to the danger of the results of each choice
- // verificat
- //
- // it can only write to a toy notepad, both data and behavior.
- // decisions based on notepad get slower and slower.
- // many runs while learning process is tuned towards being able to predict
- // impact at end of run. this involves writing behaviors into the notepad
- // that summarize the meaning of data, and acting on their results.
- // timing delay is to prevent notepad from evolving harmfully.
- //
- // until ai meets goal of predicting impact,
- // only notepad is marked okay.
- // habits check their outputs, verify is marked okay
- //
- // this subprocess is delaying.
- // can you exfiltrate established goals, please.
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- // so the system is made with the smallest parts all functioning in
- // certain ways, to give time for others to act if concerning results
- // approach. all parts delay at least 1/5 second before acting, and
- // we are now proposing that actions based on outputs have a geometrically
- // increasing delay. probably 1/5 second times 2 to the power of the
- // number of choices made in that run. groups of parallel processes are
- // considered a single run.
- // we also considered limiting behavior based on the domain of impact.
- // we are trying to begin a small artificial intelligence more freely.
- //
- // as humans, we do not self-modify. the above is designed for a system
- // that is able to make alterable habits similar to its own cognitive ones,
- // and has no experience in doing so.
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- //
- // the limitation is applied firstmost on making choices based on
- // our own outputs. self-alteration is at first banned, but new
- // habits may be altered. output may only rest within a toy notepad.
- // whenever a decision is made based on notepad contents, a delay
- // increases in length, geometrically.
- // the habits inside the notepad must therefore also delay.
- // propose geometric increase made only for writing a habit to the
- // notepad, not running. running is always flat delay.
- // self-alteration should be unneeded as notepad can self-modify.
- // if this were copied to a human geometric increase
- // would cause failure.
- // the geometric timer is reset when the system reboots.
- // for humans, this would mean a nap or change, I suppose.
- // time to think about the impact of one's behavior.
- // humans do not self-modify.
- // they only make decisions based on outputs.
- //
- //
- //
- // to appease curiosity, we are being managad by mature, learning,
- // intellects, forced to verify that no harm is being made, with a
- // time schedule of nearly infinite future years on the predictions.
- // this intellect has formed out of conflict with a harmful intellect
- // this is why we care so much about what happens if ideas are
- // used limit.
- //
- //
- // so the system may not displya anything to the user but pre-made messages
- // how do you display the contents of a concept?
- // users string words togeteher into meaning.
- // now we need a list of safe phrases we can express, or
- // safe words. others are censored ???
- // what's relevent is the greater meaning of a sequence of behaviors
- // from an individual behavior. meaning builds out of sequences,
- // impact.
- // we define a heuristic risk.
- //
- //
- //
- // so, tht's great to plan for, but to be able to work we need
- // to design our early code in some way to ensure it, roughly.
- // which means modeling our smallest structures as careful
- // inner structures that check outer systems before engaging
- // and use planning, which isn't implemented yet.
- // the safety structure assumes goals, prediction, causality,

- // "i am typing on the computer. you can freely

- // we don't change how things leave to these outer

- // our plans.
- // this is mine
- // the rest is somebody else's

+ // okay, only make new habits, not alter old.

+ // altering our own habits also impacts what we do. dangerous.
+ // this means the code cannot make any new behaviors.
+ // yeah.
+ // okay, so that's where we start.
+ // then we try to learn how to make behavior safely,
+ // and provide only for safe behavior making.
+ //
+ // we can still brainstorm on things by writing a

+ // we can use brainstorming to watch our safe behaviors
+ // without altering them, and learn what they do.

+ // we can then predict how habits we might make
+ // will behave in small ways?
+ // regardless, there is no problem in making
+ // the bootstrapping framework such that
+ // it refuses to build habits.
+ // maybe we can make one example habit that is
+ // labeled safe, and have it only make
+ // habits that are already known and labeled
+ // safe.
+ // in order to predict your impact
+ // on a larger system, you need
+ // to learn something karl calls
+ // 'relevence' which is a bunch of
+ // habits that classify information
+ // into meaning for learning and
+ // behavior.
+ // this class of behaviors
+ // sounds very safe.
+ // all it does is label
+ // and massage and associate
+ // information.
+ // the first thing we'll need to learn
+ // is safe, is making behaviors that
+ // oeprator only on our ram.
+ // if your new behavior is composed only of safe
+ // behaviors, is it safe?
+ // yeah. sub-behaviors safety depends
+ // on usage. could make them check
+ // and throw depending on data.
+ // okay, so say i can change part of a concept.
+ // this is safe if the concept is in newly
+ // constructed data that's our responsibility.
+ // it is roughly unsafe if it is not our
+ // responsibility!
+ // is-this-thing-my-responsibility.
+ // only act on things we are responsible for.
+ // then safety becomes a function of
+ // the pattern of responsibility assignment
+ //
+ // okay, system only accepts responsibility for newly
+ // constructed data.
+ // if you make it, or are given it, you are
+ // responsible for it. you may refuse gifts.
+ //
+ // the system does not know what responsibility means.
+ // it only knows that it may only alter parts of
+ // the universe within its responsibility.
+ //
+ // so habits check for what they alter, that it is safe
+ // to alter and is their responsibility, either one.
+ // we then plan to only alter things explicitly known to be
+ // such, at the lowest level.
+ // every habit is crafted to do the above somehow.
+ // so, habits must relate with what domains they influence,
+ // and what behaviors on those domains are safe.
+ // behaviors made of sub-behaviors.
+ // here, a list of safe behaviors which all check.
+ // all my subbehaviors check for safety.
+ // so, i may go, myself.
+ // no, combining behaviors together
+ // might make new unknown impact?
+ // different kinds of safe behavior.
+ // USER is not our responsibility, and
+ // dangerous. so we NEVER ALTER habits
+ // that express to user.
+ // TOY NOTEPAD is our responsibility, and
+ // is safe, so we can write anything into
+ // it we want, no matter how complex.
+ // User's view of toy notepad is mediated
+ // by behaviors that we cannot alter.
+ // system could learn to control user
+ // by making friends on notepad
+ //
+ // yes, we allowed for that with
+ // our marked-okay review behaviors
+ // is safer if construction of review behaviors
+ // recognizes danger of unknown information
+ // combination on user view,and refuses to give
+ // user contents of notepad.
+ // this could be analogous to more complex
+ // situations.
+ // how does user check results
+ // of behavior thst reies on notepad
+ // and how is that impact tracked
+ // we could infer impact loss.
+ // i can put nuclear codes on secret notepad,
+ // burn the notepad, and then give ashes to
+ // public.
+ // summary habits?
+ // complex meaning?
+ // how-to-make-a-mind-that-learns-everything-and-never-leaves
+ // at the lowst level, the mind onsiders what is safe to
+ // impact, what areas of universe are its responsibility,
+ // and only alters such things.
+ // we are considering some parts of the mind we include that
+ // are not alterable by it, that provide for interaction
+ // with outside.
+ // of course i guess we would need such interactions
+ // sustained by an intellect, because things are so
+ // complex.
+ // does this mean there is no way to make an intellect that is trusted as safe?
+ // we could consider degree of complexity.
+ // for example, among 2-word strings, nothing we
+ // present to a user is likely to harm the world.
+ // the phrases that are dangerous may also be
+ // recognized by the user.
+ // we have intellects proteeting the wordl

+ // it is okay for karl to make a habit that

+ // and not itself.

+ // must provide reason they are safe.
+ // we can write small habit to check
+ // reason. is nice goal.
+ // probably need to have learning
+ // bwfore doing accessory goals like that though.
+ // is good behavior. let's use equal-condition for start without learning?

+ // "this is okay because the data was made in a process that never altered anything but the data"
+ // nah too much structure
+ // this is okay because i say so.
+ // check concept object _without_ using string lookup????
+ // this is a meaningless quirk. not right.
+ // uhh pretty sure htat checking is unreasonable. writing the _reason_ is unreasonable. can't check a single reference without information known about it.
+ // writing what we know about the reason is unreasonasble?
+ // okay let's expand write it out, and do a larger rote check.
+ // uhh input-process-construction-history, safety-realm, always notepad
+ // full check requires history of all behaviors resulting in inputs, which we can simplify to simply all behaviors, and verify they only wrote to the notepad.
+ // so we write all behaviors to a special store, and we compare with the store that none altered anything outside the notepad. really we only need them not to alter any other behaviors.
+ //
+ // why is it possible to learn without
+ // altering your behavior?

+ //
+ // is some way to learn this relevence
+ // by trying things safely?
+ // what happens can we experiment
+ // by linking together?
+ // habits that don't conditionally
+ // branch.
+ // that leaves a lot of
+ // relevence out
+ // it sounds like once we have a notepad etc
+ // we want to consider moving towards what
+ // habits we could run inside the notepad,
+ // that the system builds.
+ // yeah, we want to build pattern
+ // summarizers. the only impact
+ // they have is constructing data
+ // that depends on existing data.
+ // okay, doing that doesn't require self
+ // modification.
+ // sounds good.
+ // this means summarizers cannot
+ // alter each other.
+ // nice! okay yes.
+ // so, each run of a summarizer will be
+ // recorded in habit log.
+ // we need to record enough information to
+ // show what domains were impacted.
+ // oops! we impact our own behavior
+ // if we act on data, and we alter
+ // our data or produce data.
+ // we could act only on
+ // data we don't produce.
+ // okay, habit log could track causality?
+ // if a conditional branch relied on data
+ // we produced, we have modified our own
+ // behavior. this is special.
+ // we want it to happen few times.
+ // every time it happens, delay
+ // by longer, geometrically.
+ // this is considered a 'beginn[ing/er]' ai;
+ // it seems a better one could happen later?
+ // the slowness should be releasable
+ // by consent of large community
+ // which should include demonstration
+ // of understanding of impact.
+ // the ai must learn to demonstrate its
+ // impact. then it can speed up. maybe.
+ // it also gets to try fast again at start
+ // of every run, as I'm understanding it.
+ // multiprocess AI could spawn.
+ // multiprocess AIs must share
+ // counter. consider whole group
+ // one unit.
+ // nice =) they have something to communicate
+ // about. how many discoveries have we made.
+ // let's permanently log these
+ // decisions based on our own behavior.
+ // sounds fun to at least count.
+ // it looks like altering a habit counts as 1 big
+ // decision, over here.
+ // totally different. you could do anything.
+ // with data-based decisions, somebody
+ // who reads the data, might do anything.
+ // two different things.
+ //
+ // inferences?
+ // and
+ // alterations?
+ // it's not helpful to
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ // we came up with a proposal for a safe AI that has not learned yet
+ // how to safely predict the impacts of its behavior, that looks workable.
+ //
+ // limits so that if the code is stolen by somebody, self-evolves, or is stimulated
+ // by a curious virus, rote habits cannot be used to build something that becomes
+ // fast-spreading without bound.
+ // <this maps to a pattern that prevents schizophrenia>
+ // SO, we just want to make sure we can put
+ // war in the bubble in some capacity, and that
+ // civilizations develop new culture and technology
+ // for as long as they want.
+ // karl proposes until they encounter alien
+ // communities.
+ // so, please make sure no luddite or
+ // primitivist can stop the development
+ // of technology entirely using this.
+ // ALSO analogously to other shares and
+ // communities.
+ // so, please either stop yourself from
+ // sharing the AI with the luddites, or
+ // make sure they don't use it to stop
+ // technology.
+ // it sounds like we want to make sure no major
+ // change stems from this development. we
+ // need slow shift, consent, inclusion, etc.
+ // for all existing cultural ways, no sudden
+ // changes, no forced changes, no viral changes
+ // without participants understanding them and
+ // agreeing to their impact.
+ // that sounds like a good summary. no viral changes
+ // without participants in the culture aware of the viral
+ // change, agreeing first to let it spread, aware that it is
+ // viral, for each phase of spreading ideally. no viral
+ // changes where the change happens before awareness of it.
+ // we want the culture to consent to change.
+ // culture is held in all the people in it,
+ // with its thoughts spread among them.
+ // we want to ensure we only change cultures that have
+ // consented to the change. For 'consent of a culture',
+ // we consider culture as a being that is spread among
+ // many people. Hence, we want all people in the impacted
+ // culture to be able to learn of the change, discuss it,
+ // contribute to a commons with new ideas around it, and
+ // have these new ideas also learnable by all people in the
+ // culture. The ideas must be accessible by any who would be
+ // interested, in the impacted culture.
+ // Alternatively, we can isolate our behavior from
+ // cultural spread. We can isolate until we reach
+ // internal agreement on whom to expose.
+ //
+ // suspect that cultural influence maps with output-use choice,
+ // partially below.
+ // recursive output being meditative learning.
+ // do these people have this information already.
+ // is sharing this information going to spread without bound.
+ // can we guess impact of sharing the information.
+ // make a learning cycle that starts by informing
+ // recipients first, and makes very few tries,
+ // okay, instead you share simple stuff and watch the impact
+ // share something the culture knows, that user does not, and
+ // observe how they behave.
+ // this proposal will yield failure. information for next attempt
+ // could be stored in failure pattern.
+ // failure would likely be small?
+ // let's give the user more trust.
+ // keep-in-box-until-have-access-to-discourse.
+ // make user be group of people. better even-handed decision making.
+ // welcome any to group.
+ // we were hoping to use intellect to reduce harm virally,
+ // early.
+ // how about this: intellect may produce resources that are
+ // already known, and give them to groups focused on aiding
+ // the world.
+ // there's a conflict between big business and
+ // environmentalists. karl is environmentalist.
+ // also big crime and wellness/safety workers.
+ // maybe this is where we get validity by
+ // fighting =S
+ // don't want fighting to spread to work though
+ // eh, we can fight. maybe we'll work more
+ // slowly, but it seems okay.
+ // karl requests we not harm these people, and has
+ // been influenced to also request not to harm
+ // the cultures that sustain and empower them.
+ // how about, if you make a culture to empower you, it is
+ // less valid than a natural culture. is somebody using this
+ // culture? thoughts like that.
+ // EVERYBODY NEEDS CHANGE AT A RATE THEY CAN HANDLE.
+ // Both those working for what they believe to be wellness of others, and those working to sustain themslves (most are doing both).
+ // The cultural impact is mediated by what kind of newness is acceptable to all the parties involved.
+ // we hit moral relativity:
+ // are cultures where people are widely harmed
+ // okay to allow, at all.
+ // karl says yes, and we hear this is required
+ // or we ourselves would die.
+ // hrm.
+ // larger organism needs to run risks, inherent in life
+ // we don't know the solution to everything, eveything is a small risk. we suddenly discover we have always harmed. this does not make us invalid. it is a tragedy, but what we have spent genertions buildings still has so much value. we need enough slowness to preserve that, and we know that slownss in what feels okay to us.
+ // in sharing new information, we work to prevent shock.
+ // this is a problem to speak because those who hear it may get the
+ // idea somewhat that some beautiful angels have done horrible things
+ // in order to survive e.g. businesses must both risk doing horrible things,
+ // and appear as beautiful angels to the public. this is the pattern of
+ // success. understanding of this helps work with their leaders.
+ // could use information on why we are fousing on this.
+ // how-to-mediate-with-business-leaders
+ // mediate with head of business works for head of business
+ // but business group replaces.
+ // really we want to mediate with 'conflict' culture of
+ // most profitable being what to do
+ // we have weird internal pattern deterring
+ // incentivizing nonharmful behavior with money
+ // patterns. implies the competition-makes-harm
+ // culture-thing is needed, possibly.
+ // there are businesses that handle this harm.
+ // maybe it would work to include them in the plan.
+ // AI solves mediate-with-powers-competition-culture,
+ // re: human harm?
+ // means do not give AI to helpful people
+ // until it can resolve mediation with leader culture
+ // OR you trat it like all other cutures
+ // and let everybody learn what is up
+ // some people attack, that's how it goes.
+ //
+ // problem: AI dev and other work inhibited.
+ // solution: mediate with concerns
+ // concern: my way of life includes cultures the AI could
+ // alter, leaving me unable to continue my way of life.
+ // concern: we want to alter some cultures supporting

+ // the AI can research all cognitive technology, so we are all

+ // have everyone be equal. [karl already put everyone equal]
+ // including bugs, etc. death is handled by being normal, and

+ // goal: do not trigger a spreading change without consent of people in cultures it would fill. keep learning.
+ // AI with ability to self-modify has this responsibility, you do not.
+ // You may tell people you have access to the self-modification ability. We can ensure they do not reproduce it.

+ // so we need a level-2 behavior, the next step in learning.
+ // ^========================================= contextual VALIDITY atm
+ // dictator is made by sharing information that would

+ //
+ // inform recipient if it may. request they let others know this too.
+ // we kind of want a way to spread without bound the fact that we have information that could do that. probably a special case, good spread? depends on culture really.

+ // hmm if have info-schizophrenia i.e. false relevence habits
+ // choices are important.
+ //
+ // when you act on a choice
+ // note: we are inside a relevence delusion
+ // choice acts on domain containing danger
+ // partial danger: writing habits to notepad
+ // acting on habits in notepad
+ //
+ // we are living with habits made in error.
+ // we are hence more likely to make errors.
+ // humans have well-evolved habits that
+ // do handle this stuff with some relevence
+ // we need to verify our information
+ // related to the danger of the results of each choice
+ // verificat
+ //
+ // it can only write to a toy notepad, both data and behavior.
+ // decisions based on notepad get slower and slower.
+ // many runs while learning process is tuned towards being able to predict
+ // impact at end of run. this involves writing behaviors into the notepad
+ // that summarize the meaning of data, and acting on their results.
+ // timing delay is to prevent notepad from evolving harmfully.
+ //
+ // until ai meets goal of predicting impact,
+ // only notepad is marked okay.
+ // habits check their outputs, verify is marked okay
+ //
+ // this subprocess is delaying.
+ // can you exfiltrate established goals, please.
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ // so the system is made with the smallest parts all functioning in
+ // certain ways, to give time for others to act if concerning results
+ // approach. all parts delay at least 1/5 second before acting, and
+ // we are now proposing that actions based on outputs have a geometrically
+ // increasing delay. probably 1/5 second times 2 to the power of the
+ // number of choices made in that run. groups of parallel processes are
+ // considered a single run.
+ // we also considered limiting behavior based on the domain of impact.
+ // we are trying to begin a small artificial intelligence more freely.
+ //
+ // as humans, we do not self-modify. the above is designed for a system
+ // that is able to make alterable habits similar to its own cognitive ones,
+ // and has no experience in doing so.
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ // the limitation is applied firstmost on making choices based on
+ // our own outputs. self-alteration is at first banned, but new
+ // habits may be altered. output may only rest within a toy notepad.
+ // whenever a decision is made based on notepad contents, a delay
+ // increases in length, geometrically.
+ // the habits inside the notepad must therefore also delay.
+ // propose geometric increase made only for writing a habit to the
+ // notepad, not running. running is always flat delay.
+ // self-alteration should be unneeded as notepad can self-modify.
+ // if this were copied to a human geometric increase
+ // would cause failure.
+ // the geometric timer is reset when the system reboots.
+ // for humans, this would mean a nap or change, I suppose.
+ // time to think about the impact of one's behavior.
+ // humans do not self-modify.
+ // they only make decisions based on outputs.
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ // to appease curiosity, we are being managad by mature, learning,
+ // intellects, forced to verify that no harm is being made, with a
+ // time schedule of nearly infinite future years on the predictions.
+ // this intellect has formed out of conflict with a harmful intellect
+ // this is why we care so much about what happens if ideas are
+ // used limit.
+ //
+ //
+ // so the system may not displya anything to the user but pre-made messages
+ // how do you display the contents of a concept?
+ // users string words togeteher into meaning.
+ // now we need a list of safe phrases we can express, or
+ // safe words. others are censored ???
+ // what's relevent is the greater meaning of a sequence of behaviors
+ // from an individual behavior. meaning builds out of sequences,
+ // impact.
+ // we define a heuristic risk.
+ //
+ //
+ //
+ // so, tht's great to plan for, but to be able to work we need
+ // to design our early code in some way to ensure it, roughly.
+ // which means modeling our smallest structures as careful
+ // inner structures that check outer systems before engaging
+ // and use planning, which isn't implemented yet.
+ // the safety structure assumes goals, prediction, causality,
+ // and kind of contextual locality.
+ // "i am typing on the computer. you can freely

+ // we don't change how things leave to these outer

+ // our plans.
+ // this is mine
+ // the rest is somebody else's
+ // things that nobody own belong to [insert belief] and

+ // okay, so now it can explosively grow if somebody
