AI already can do thousands or even millions of tasks per second. If we invent a way for an AI to have thoughts as complicated or nuanced as a human, and plug it into an existing AI, it might be able to have a thousand or a million thoughs per second. That’s a very dangerous thing.

I’m down with this; if I had 24 hours I could either delete or dramatically increase the quality of around 30 of my entries (60 if you count shortening and refining the yudkowsky quotes). I bet a bunch of other people could keep the momentum of the last 24 hours going, in addition to Sue and I who know we can turn the extra time into really good entries.
It would also give OP a reason to put this contest back on the front page (where it belongs), and it wouldn’t create a bad precedent because it shouldn’t cause any additional people to miss deadlines for contests in the future.
I have some other things I could work on tomorrow, but I’d rather spend it refining my entries if I’m certain that the contest isn’t closed.
