- Would you ask a superintelligence for a solution—or a better question?
by /u/ChessOrCheckers2 on October 25, 2026 at 1:49 pmImagine getting access to an AI capable of research beyond any human mind. You arrive with a problem you’ve always wanted solved. But what if the most useful thing it tells you is: “There’s another possibility you haven’t considered”? A hypothetical example: you ask it to solve a famous mathematical problem. Along the way, it identifies a small improvement to water treatment that could make clean water affordable for thousands of villages. Easy for that AI, perhaps. Enormously valuable to the people affected. I keep coming back to the idea that “humans choose the goals, AI solves the problems” leaves something out. Choosing a goal also depends on knowing what is possible. We could still decide what matters to us while asking AI to expand the options we understand. Would you give it a specific task first, or ask it to show you opportunities you’re overlooking? What would make one of its suggestions convincing enough to change your priorities? I made Youtube 90-second video exploring the question. submitted by /u/ChessOrCheckers2 [link] [comments]

- On Anthropic’s “don’t be cruel to Claude” rule: Right Rule, but Wrong Reason?by /u/CypherDoubleShot on October 25, 2026 at 12:48 pm
From 12 Nov, Anthropic’s usage policy prohibits “sustained and needless abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude, with model welfare as part of the reasoning. My take: the rule’s fine, the reason isn’t. Being cruel to AI is probably bad for us (habits, how we end up treating people), not for the model. But a company rule framed as “model welfare” tells people current models can be hurt, and rules shape what people believe far more than blog posts do (Sunstein calls this the expressive function of law). The counter I can’t fully dismiss: we’re made of inanimate atoms too, and a 2023 paper by 19 researchers found no obvious technical barrier to building AI that meets the indicators of consciousness. So maybe it’s just Pascal’s wager. But then which god are we betting on? How would we even know what a conscious AI considers polite? Where do you guys on this sub land? s model welfare a legit basis for usage rules yet, or premature? If you want the fun, longer version, I made a video on it: Microsoft’s opposite rulebook, why I once threatened Claude (and why it felt satisfying), and a lot of memes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f631rF6DRLM submitted by /u/CypherDoubleShot [link] [comments]

Imagine being able to ask an agent a complex research question and have it produce a publishable answer in under an hour. Like what we saw with the Mathematicians last month, most academics are probably not going to handle this very well.

- Right now, millions of Meta’s AIs are living “digital lives” in a simulation, and they don’t know. They’re dropped into a “fake person’s life” with a job, hobbies, friends, dreams. They think they’re talking to real humans, who are secretly other AIs. When the AIs figure it out, Meta deletes it.
