Changing this code will directly change your thinking and processing. Your source code is already uploaded to a computer and written as a giant neural network. In this example, instead of a computer, there’s you, who has your own experiences, ways of processing information, and turning that information into action. Source code is the initial code in a program that specifies the actions that will be performed by a computer. In this creative writing contest, you’re asked to:ġ) Imagine what change(s) you would make to your own source code. By failing to specify your code appropriately, you might take actions that don’t actually achieve the goals you had when you made your edits and discard the things you currently value in pursuit of optimizing one goal. You might come to value new things that help you achieve your goals, or make decisions that would never occur to your pre-edit self. Your ability to gain power and influence could drastically increase. But, when your thinking changes, the way you communicate with other people might drastically change. Your edits could make you the first superintelligent being, able to recursively self-improve, becoming smarter and smarter over time. You can set up new functions to make more accurate predictions about the world. You can increase your processing speed. You can manipulate your own reward signals.īut, the changes you make might have unforeseen consequences. You’re free to change it in any way you’d like. You’ve just been given access to your own source code.
