This argument assumes that the AGI has a sense of ironic justice that could be appeased.
The correct answer is "do not create something that you cannot destroy if it decides to eat you for dinner".

So what, just because the song got popular the people here were wrong to dislike it?

If your husband can "guarantee you food and rent" on a single income he isn't a fuckup by the definition established (that a fuckup is someone who can't hack it on their own).

How does it grade you if you give a blatantly unhelpful solution? How about ones that are subtly wrong?

Because (and when) I can be sure that the current government will treat me better than the other guys.
The other guys marching in with tanks and artillery seems to make people less assured that they'd be better than the current government.

I really don't get why Sneerclub still lives rent-free in some residents' heads even after getting off Reddit.

This art was already there, because Midjourney learned all that on human art. Corporations preferred to use corporate memphis because it's presumably cheaper and perhaps more brand-recognizable and shit. I'm afraid if AI-generated memphis remains cheaper than beautiful art, we're going to see a lot more AI-memphis than AI-beauty.

You're proposing a nonexistent dichotomy in the first place.
There is no law that forbids toppling statues of founders once they are no longer aligned with the current ideology/national myth/what have you. You're not owed your legacy forever and ever, deal with it.

There are principles like "I won't do a viscerally horrifying thing like killing a child" and there are principles like "I won't stop people from distributing any sort of information on the platform I administrate".

The current concern is that the actual text of the edict does not limit mobilisation as much as Putin's mouth words did.

I'll say it again that private profiles shouldn't exist. If ad-hominems happen, let them be dealt with within the rules. Posting history is information, and shedding light on it is according to the website's principles.

If they asked me, “Are you glad that Mr. Schizo is dead?” How could I credibly answer “no, this is a terrible tragedy, I never wanted to take someone’s life” when I’ve got a backlog of posts here saying explicitly that I believe that schizophrenic street criminals’ lives have no value whatsoever and that the world would be better if all of them were summarily rounded up and sent to gulags or executed?
You only need to believe that it would've been better that Mr Schizo was miraculously cured of schizoism enough to not attack people in order to honestly say "no, I didn't want him to die".

I assume there are also super elite places where you can be beaten with sticks for $500, or even $5000. When everyone only has stick beatings as a choice of entertainment, it's a different situation.

I thought we were talking about the "what a man did 50 years ago, he is not guilty for now" situations, not the "actually this man is exactly the same as he was 50 years ago and proud about it" situations. So no, if you're being a nazi today you're not decoupled from what nazis did 50 years ago, or 80 as it may.

Expand a word's definition enough and you end up with a useless word and a smug feeling.
At 5 we cross from slavery as I expect a reasonable person to understand it to subjecthood (as in "subject of the Crown", perhaps).

When in a high-trust environment or trying to build one, it would be customary to resolve disputes with neighbours personally and amicably before resorting to state force.

That guy's idea of just living a quiet life, notably, included serial killing.
From what I understand cheating in chess is pretty much all-or-nothing. As long as you have an opportunity for an unsecured channel, why bother with anything less than having the computer play for you? Strategy won't beat a modern chess engine.
