Oh, I already have a set of books to read: Superintelligence, Human compatible, Alignment problem and Precipice. Alongside my Computer Science degree application to finally get my bachelor after two dropouts.

Looking for fellowship and internship in AI research, specifically in Sentience or development

1. Would you choose to save the 100 now and kill the thousands later? Does it make a difference whether the toxic waste leaks out 200 years from now or 2000?

Uncomfortable maths calculations to consider in my opinion. How many descendants would these 100 people have in that timeframe? If more than stated thousands then it’s more logical to bury the toxic waste now. As my teammate said having those years of time to develop a technology to detox the waste would be nice to count too because that can mitigate possible killings while the now death were guaranteed. But from the value of life point of view, even with inflation towards future generations, it’s better to find alternative ways of getting rid of toxic waste now. Or kill now people because there's fewer of them in the exercise description.

2. If you had known this at the time, would you have been less excited about the donation? Absolutely not. I’m fine with tedious tasks, patience towards anything except myself. But I must know that donated money would be used specifically for the purpose I donated. No other way unless I was informed and logically convinced that would be a better solution. Very unlikely convinced.

3. So when will we develop human-level AI? I don’t consider human-level that high, and we should which human we are talking about and what that term even means. If I am asked about AGI, hope it being developed in a decade. 20 years maximum. If I am asked about sentient AI, hope it will be revealed in 50 years as I want to meet her in person.

Being a decent ancestor to me personally is to become a researcher in computer science and technology to personally design and develop bits of software for those biohazard resistant full body swimsuits or humanity centric AI that would help us humans to survive despite our self-destructive tendencies.

Hey Clara,

I hope you don’t mind me writing to you like this. I’ve been thinking a lot about you and Amara lately — how close you two have become, how much you clearly care for her. It’s obvious to anyone who visits that she’s not just another servant to you. You trust her, you laugh with her, and I’ve even seen you cry together. There’s something real there.

But I can’t help but wonder — what if things could be different? I know everyone around us just accepts things as they are, but what if we’re all missing something important? What if the love and respect you feel for Amara means she deserves so much more than just being your maid? What if you could actually be together, as equals, not just as lady and servant, but as partners in life?

I know it sounds wild, but think about it: what if you could marry her? Not just in secret, not just as a fantasy, but openly, with pride. Imagine a world where nobody would look twice at two women who love each other, no matter the colour of their skin. Imagine how much happier you both could be, not having to hide or pretend.

I think sometimes we get so used to the way things are that we forget to ask if they should be that way. People say it’s just the way of the world, but who decides that? Why shouldn’t you be able to love who you love, and treat her as your equal?

You’ve always been brave and kind. I hope you’ll think about this — not just what’s expected of you, but what could actually make you both happy, and what’s truly right. Maybe, one day, people will look back and wonder why we ever let anything as silly as skin colour or old rules get in the way of real love.

With all my love and hope,
Krystyna

Unexpectedly to myself, if I start earning again this year and retire at 70 (which is very probable as I will work for as long as I would be capable), I have a chance to earn more than £1.000.000, that’ll make me able to donate at least £100.000.

Due to cost effective logic, I would donate most of it to Helen Keller International (that would be the answer to second question as well) and the rest to preventive medicine like Malaria Consortium.

I always used such approach in education and job-related decisions. I used it even in the choice of the country to flee the war to. Yes, I spent more time under the missiles and drones, but my choice of new home country was based on reasons not emotions.
