- Comment on Should I continue with exercise if I didn't get enough sleep? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had enough internet for one day. I read the question as “Should I continue with existence” and thought you were talking about fully discorporating out of the universe rather than take a nap.

- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 4 weeks ago:
Afganistan said no when the US wanted Bin Laden. Two and a half trillion dollars later the exact same people are back in charge and now they’re armed with modern American weapons instead of vintage Soviet ones. Everyone lost except the people who said no to the US.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know what the US congress is any more, but in other countries it’s because they really really want to expel someone and the deportee’s home country might say “no thanks, they’re your problem”.

What’s this, an attempt to kick an addiction?
I’ve never heard of an extension like that.

Would humans have a mandate to raise a responsible AGI, should they,
I think we’d have to, mandate or no. It’s impossible to reliably predict the behaviour of an entity as mentally complex as us but we can at least try to ensure they share our values.
are they qualified to raise a vastly nonhuman sentient entity
The first one’s always the hardest.
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 1 month ago:
I don’t think it’s okay to hold sentient beings in slavery.
But on the other hand, it may be necessary to say “hold on, you’re not ready to join society yet, we’re taking responsibility for you until you’ve matured and been educated”.
So my answer would be ‘it depends’.

The only thing IQ measures accurately is how well you answer questions on IQ tests. For anything else, it’s a vague approximation at best.
Talk to your guy. Just knowing that you’re working to understand him will make him feel loved.
