AI Box Role Plays

I am playing the gatekeeper for the first round, taking place on January 22nd. I commit to not letting the AI out of the box. I am more than 80 percent confident that no human can get past me, and more than 30% confident that a transhuman could not get past me.

EDIT: The AI remained in the box, so upvote this comment to +25 and downvote lessdazed's child comment to -25. However, the session finished inconclusively, with my decision dependent on factors that had not been set beforehand. I recommend that for future sessions, the parties agree to the circumstances of the AI's creation, how much the AI knows about the circumstances of its creation, and the gatekeeper's prior P(the AI is Friendly). My own P(no human can get past me|plausible prearranged backstory) is now 85%, and my P(no transhuman AI could get past me|representative plausible backstory) is now less than 10%. If the game had been real, there's a good chance I'd have lost.

I would wager karma and money (or just internet glory) that no human will have a chance in hell of getting past me. (Chance in hell being much less than 1% probability).

That is as the gatekeeper if that was not clear.

We can use Skype or anything else I can download reasonably fast. My schedule is flexible and I will read everything you say.

PM me, and let's set stuff up. I am also fine with the logs being made open after my victory (or not, it will be up to you). And yes, I am cocky about this, come throw me off my high horse. I will take multiple challenges.

If you want to add some special rules I am flexible, just ask.

Edit: Super-intelligence chance: Less than 1% as well. Words are a weak medium for a committed individual.

I'm always intrigued by these experiments. If the box AI is not confirmed to be friendly, everything it says and promises is absolutely unreliable. I don't see how the arguments of such an entity could be at all convincing.

I'll predict that you'll not be able to escape any LW gatekeeper.

I believe that a truly transhuman AI could play me like a fiddle, but I'm reasonably sure that a human won't be able to get past me in my capacity as Gatekeeper. I'd wager 50 karma on that.

I'm available weekends, or weekdays late in the evening.

I agree to play the AI role, with the following provisions:

• The logs will be released publicly after the challenge.
• No wagering, no "winners" and "losers".
• I will not play against Sly.

I find the idea (you'd be surprised at the temptations a trapped, powerful AI could offer) laudable. The existence of successful (for the trapped AI) roleplays were sufficient for me seriously consider it, and that's all that's necessary to come to the conclusion: only a real altruist with strong priors (or a jerk spoiling the game) could succeed as gatekeeper.

So many Gatekeepers, so few AIs...

I predict that I have a small but significant chance (~20%) of getting released as an AI. Unfortunately, large wagers at appropriate odds would distort the Gatekeeper's motivations. I am willing to play for up to 10 karma at 5-1 odds. I live in Perth, Australia, and am available only during late evenings (8-12 pm) my time.

I also think the "AI Box Experiment" was an appalling shamble and a disservice to the world because of the "no reveal" rule. I shall not agree to such a rule ever again.
