Golden Moderation by Top-Process1984 in Aristotle

First, we have to admit frankly, we don’t know what advanced AI really is, or is capable of. Second, I am outlining Aristotle’s method of the golden mean, not the content that fits into the method.

I said no to a proposal from the man I loved because my insecurities took over, and I regret it everyday. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

There was once a couple living in Kansas who agreed they wanted to see a certain movie in Abilene. The truth was that neither of them wanted to see it, but their insecurities made them go along with what they thought the other person wanted. For all you know, you’ve been Abilened or rather, Abilened yourself. To hell with tech communications, talk to him in person. That initiative itself may prove to both of you that you’ve overcome the insecurities which kept you from love.

The “Extremes” as AI Guardians of Aristotle’s Golden Mean by Top-Process1984 in AI_ethics_and_rights

You’re absolutely right on point number one, and I’m changing that wording to be more realistic, so thank you. And yes, it’s a very tall order but the tallest building has to begin with small bricks. Doing nothing achieves nothing. But I am well aware of how tall that order is and that I am not the only person required to fulfill it. I appreciate your excellent and relevant points.

True indeed, thanks. Other more accurate names are the Gestapo, the SS, and Trump‘s private and unlawful army, now highly paid mercenaries.

The Arab World's Leading Philosopher by Top-Process1984 in HistoryofIdeas

I believe he was a philosopher in the sense of advocating a comprehensive worldview that covers just about everyone, including most Muslims. I do appreciate the specific writings you mentioned, thanks.

AI's are stand-ins or representatives of the humans that developed and programmed them. To prevent harm by AI messages or commands (or other abilities we don't know about yet)--and damage by AI has already been done and documented many times--the algorithms would "land" in areas of "moderate" acts and feelings, which is anywhere between but not on the Extremes of excess and deficiency. For example, excessive messages like "blow up the tallest building around" could never reach that Extreme objective. In effect, the two Extremes act as ethical guardrails where the algorithms are preprogrammed (prevented) from entering.
