4/4 I need to alpha-test this right now.
3/4 I want this, please release it!
2/4 Maybe I'll have a look if/when it's ready
1/4 Not for me.

Reading this gave me an uncomfortable moment considering my feelings for all the people who expect things of me or of whom I expect things, outside the specific context of debt.
It makes me think of the very common case in society of someone taking care of an elderly or otherwise care-needing relative.
But like @Dagon says, this is only one aspect of such interpersonal relationships, out of many. In particular, taking this "as reason to avoid debt in all its forms more" sounds to me like hoping never to get in a situation which in fact happens all the time. It would be throwing a lot of human interactions out with the bathwater.
I think one could consider it a part of mental health to be able to make commitments without resenting it, and to manage situations in which such resentment arises.
Thanks, I have applied most suggestions.
Indeed I didn't choose the formulas myself but just told GPT to produce some, and then removed a few that seemed dubious or irrelevant.
Thank you.
Right. So, considering that the most advanced AIs of a leading AI company such as OpenAI are not agents, what do you think of the following plan to solve or help solve AI risk: keep making more and more powerful Q&A AIs that are not agents until we have ones that are smarter than us, then ask them how to solve the problem. Do you think this is a safe and reasonable pursuit? Or do you think we just won't get to superhuman intelligence that way?
I'm not sure I understand, do you mean that considering these possibilities is too difficult because there are too many or that it's not a priority because AIs not designed as agents are less dangerous? Or both?
Thank you for your answer. In my example I was thinking of an AI such as a language model that would have latent ≥human-level capability without being an agent, but could easily be made to emulate one just long enough for it to get out of the box, e.g. duplicate itself. Do you think this couldn't happen?
More generally, I am wondering if the field of AI safety research studies somewhat specific scenarios based on the current R&D landscape (e.g. "A car company makes an AI to drive a car and then someone does xyz and then paperclips") and tailor-made safety measures in addition to more abstract ones like the ones in A Tentative Typology of AI-Foom Scenarios for instance.
