Asimov wrote his laws of robotics as a dramic device to show how difficult it is to write laws of robotics. How they always will contradict each other.
His laws are there to illustrate a problem, not as a genuine attempt at the solution. His laws are deliberately wrong.
Anthropic's constitution is a proper attempt to solve the problem instead.
Surprising that it ends up written in English rather than maths.
Perhaps the robot will translate it into maths later.
There's a lot of thorny philosophy in it if you assume the premise that a super-intelligent machine can be built, even if known methods can't build it.
We should do that philosophy whether the premise turns out to be true or false.
Anthropic are doing much better on the AI ethics than openAI. And the business side, and the building actually useful models side.
Zvi has some blogs on the AI community's reaction to it and analysing it.
Seems long. Might have to be expressed as a meme. 😆
