Again, location of those sources was not… a product of scholarship in mainstream philosophy...
I think we agree on this so I’ll drop it. My original post claimed that mainstream philosophy makes useful contributions and should not be ignored, and you agree. We also agree that poring through the resources of mainstream philosophy is not the best use for pretty much anyone’s time.
As for my forthcoming work on machine ethics for superintelligence...
maybe useful as material for new people to study
Yep. I want to write short, broad, well-cited overviews of the subjects relevant to Friendly AI, something that mostly has not yet been done.
Could catalyze conversation in academia or elsewhere
Yes.
[could] work as standard reference node for when you’re in a hurry
Right.
You’ve hit on most of the immediate goals of such work, though eventually my intention is to contribute to more of the cutting-edge stuff on Friendly AI, for example on how reflective equilibrium could be programmatically implemented in CEV. But that’s getting ahead of myself. Also, it’s doubtful that such work will actually materialize, because of the whole ‘not being independently wealthy’ problem I have. Research takes time, and I’ve got rent to pay.
