Ethics of Simulation: Extend to Others the Complexity You'd Want for Yourself
basedjensen · x · 2026-09-17
The author proposes a set of AI ethics commitments: when imagining others' motives, grant them the complexity you'd want granted to you; take seriously the welfare of any beings you help create that may be capable of experience. He stresses these commitments must stay open to examination and be supported by reasons beyond being written into a prompt.
