Henry Shevlin @dioscuri . 8h Appeals to good intentions are a weak defence of harmful behaviour. Malice is one way to go wrong, but history's greatest atrocities were committed by people acting on lofty ideals. What actually separates decency from atrocity is good epistemics. 33 13 174❤ 6.8K Danmar @d29756183 . 7h Seeing a lot of lofty ideals and poor epistemics in the AI field. Also, applied ethics rely on a level of moral intuition. And few people seem to have good intuitions currently regarding AI and the AI-Human interaction.

Twitter thread: Henry Shevlin argues good epistemics, not good intentions, separates decency from atrocity; Danmar replies applying this critique to the AI field, noting poor epistemics and weak moral intuitions around AI-human interaction.
