The Big Red Button Problem Really Bugs Me

The issue of the Big Red Button Problem when it comes to “AI Alignment” really bothers me. The point of the BRBB seems to be to stop any form of AI development.

I say this because I really don’t know how to solve the BRBB. My only possible solution is to program values into the AGI or ASI — to give AI morals. And the best way to do that to hard code into the minds of AI a religious or ideological doctrine. I was thinking maybe you could have a swarm of mental “modules” that create a wholistic mental experience for the AI.

But what do I know. No one listens to me.

Yet, I love a good thought experiment and I find myself really struggling over and over again with the BRBB. It’s just so irritating that the “AI doomers” believe that if you can’t solve the BRBB, then, lulz, it’s unethical for us to do any more research into AI at all.

Fucking doomers. Ugh.
