I believe there are moral absolutes and not including them in the AI constitution (for example, like the US Constitution "All Men Are Created Equal") is dangerous and even more dangerous is allowing a top AI operator define moral and ethics based on relativist standards, which as I've said elsewhere, history has shown to have deadly consequences.

No, I read your words the first time, I just don't understand. What would you have written differently, can you provide a concrete example?

[joshuamcginnis]

I don’t how to explain it to you any different. I’m arguing for a different philosophy to be applied when constructing the llm guardrails. There may be a lot of overlap in how the rules are manifested in the short run.

[felixgallo]

You can explain it differently by providing a concrete example. Just saying "the philosophy should be different" is not informative. Different in what specific way? Can you give an example of a guiding statement that you think is wrong in the original document, and an example of the guiding statement that you would provide instead? That might be illuminative and/or persuasive.

> like the US Constitution "All Men Are Created Equal"

You know this statement only applied to white, male landowners, right?

It took 133 years for women to gain the right to vote from when the Constitution was ratified.

Is this supposed to be a zinger or something? What is your point?
