The GitHub Archive Program is a GitHub initiative to ensure that open source software is preserved for future generations. It includes both very-long-term storage such as the GitHub Arctic Code Vault and ongoing backups of public repositories by nonprofit organizations such as Software Heritage and the Internet Archive.

The “Greatest Hits” are archives of GitHub’s 17,000 most-popular and most-dependended-upon repositories, written to hardened film designed to last for 1,000 years, enclosed in beautiful museum-quality cases, and donated to three of the world’s great libraries, on three different continents.

There is more than one possible AI.

So that is “transhumanism” – loving life without special exceptions and without upper bound

If you take common sense and rigorously apply it, through multiple inferential steps, to areas outside everyday experience, successfully avoiding many possible distractions and tempting mistakes along the way, then it often ends up as a minority position and people give it a special name

If you offered Gandhi a pill that made him want to kill people, he would refuse to take it, because he knows that then he would kill people, and the current Gandhi doesn’t want to kill people. This, roughly speaking, is an argument that minds sufficiently advanced to precisely modify and improve themselves, will tend to preserve the motivational framework they started in

The future of Earth-originating intelligence may be determined by the goals of the first mind smart enough to self-improve
