Conservatism isn’t about keeping things as they are. It’s about regression into a gilted fictional past. Intentionally introducing bias into a system in order to transit to a nonexistent temporal location as a reactionary response seems like a strange thing to do in general. It seems like an exceedingly strange thing to do to a conglomeration of logical procedures.
The entire notion is inherently regressive and reactionary. It’s coping with fear of an unknown future by appealing to an idealized past. Intentionally baking fear into the system eliminates the goal of an inherently progressive system that is, by definition and design, intended to be in a continuous state of incremental improvement.
Systematic Utopianism predicated on fictions fabricated in correlation fallacy does not seem like a pursuit of reason; therefore hostile to AGI.
Your dismissive view of “conservatism” as a general movement is noted, and not even unreasonable—but it seems basically irrelevant to what we were discussing in the post, both in terms of what we called conservatism, and the way you tied it to ’Hostile to AGI.” And the latter seems deeply confused, or at least needs much more background explanation.
