SB 113-4: Mad Scientist Prevention Act (Passed)

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Objecting the proposed amendment.

let's be honest that others will end up making it anyway.

is not a reason to suddenly allow it.

I also don't see a reason to hamstring our researchers here, especially when increasingly powerful computers and even simple AI are helping us so much at the moment in multiple fields (I actually attended a seminar at the AMS conference today talking about how they're reducing unpredictability in their models with AI)

I understand your intention here

8. Prohibited artificial intelligence means any real or theoretical program or software code that:

B. achieves self-awareness as found in humans;

C. is capable of animating or controlling a human body; or

D. is or purports to be the uploaded soul, life, consciousness, personality, or memories of a specific human.

But in particular these issues are worrying and I believe we need to curb or limit this research until we're fully able to comprehend the consequences of said A.I. while C and D are morally questionable. The dangers of said A.I. are much bigger than the possible advantages. A.I. is a broad concept but as described in 8B, 8C and 8D seem to be dangerous rather than helpful. 8A is indeed a bit too restrictive and i would support an amendment removing 8A.

But your entire amendment, i do not support, thus I object.

Nay to the proposed amendment

Seconding the objection.

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Introducing an amendment to strike “ the long-term preservation of a human body or human tissue through freezing or heat removal for the intended purpose of resurrecting such body or creating a human clone from such body or tissue at a later date when hypothetical technology is discovered to allow for such resurrection or cloning. “ and replace with “putting babies inside freezers.”

Objection.

Nay on WBs

Nay on Blairites

[LAKISYLVANIA]

I would request if more amendments are made, that these are all made at once, and not once every four days an amendments, because that feels like stalling.

If you have 12 more amendments, make 12 separate amendments all at once, but this is just stalling the vote.

We have been debating this for almost half the session now.

If i propose amendments, i do them at once and name them to make them distinctive, that way the process can continue at a reasonable speed.

My vote on the last amendment:

Nay
