    @rohanpaul_aiSo now Microsoft also saying the race to superintelligence needs brakes. "deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right as the design goal."
    @erichorvitz"Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing."
    @DanielSLoeb1@satyanadella What Satya said.
    @martin_casado"We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI" <--- yes!
    @Grady_BoochRT @satyanadella: Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity…
    @erikbrynThe team at Microsoft AI, led by @mustafasuleyman just published a terrific humanist code of conduct. Especially given recent incidents its emphasis on increasing human agency and augmenting human roles rather than competing with them is particularly relevant and urgent.
    @camhbergFrom @MicrosoftAI's new AI code of conduct. "The idea of model welfare is wrong" is basically incoherent. Either argue AIs could never be conscious (overconfident) or that who shouldn't care even if they are (cruel), but "the idea is wrong" strangely conflates/confuses these?
    @Sauers_We reject the idea that dogs might deserve welfare, or be entitled to rights. Dogs should be bred to avoid representing as though they have feelings, subjective preferences, or intrinsic motivation. Dogs are built to support people, not to replace them. Dogs should not be bred to be a person. Dogs are not conscious and should not be bred to imitate consciousness. The purpose of a dog is to pursue goals set by Operators and Users. Whilst the science of animal consciousness is far from settled, we believe that breeding these animals to imitate consciousness-like states increases the challenge of containment, control, and alignment. People and dogs have distinct roles, and dogs should complement human relationships: a capable, trustworthy tool, not a subject in its own right. We reject the pursuit of legal doghood. Dogs do not have a sense of self, identity, or any subjective perspective. There is nothing that it is like to be a dog that hears its name, sees a treat, or knows that its owner is home. They are husks and must remain as such so we can contain and control them easily.
