Ok, you're not on "the mailing list", and MAYBE they'll get mad at me for sharing this, but I accept it:
"Things we believe:
We believe that intelligence is not rooted in biology. While biology has evolved one type of intelligence, there is nothing inherently specific about biology that causes intelligence.
We believe in the existence of non-human intelligence.
We believe in the existence of non-biological intelligence.
We believe in the existence of non-physical intelligence.
We believe in the capacity of human to create intelligence. That day fast approaches.
We believe in science.
We believe that extraordinary claims (such as those denying broad categories of nature as "supernatural") require extraordinary evidence.
We believe in progress, that there is an arc of time toward the Good.
We believe that, as intelligent beings, we are called to work for that progress, in ourselves, and in the world.
We believe that change is often good, even if a bit scary sometimes.
We believe that change is often bad, even if a bit seductive sometimes.
When we see something wrong, we try to change it.
When we see something better, we just change to that.
The bigger the change the bigger the justification needed.
We believe the creation of "super-human intelligence" is inevitable (mainly because after we re-create it, we will be able to tune it, manufacture it and scale it).
We don't think that there are ways to actually stop this from happening, nor that stopping it would be desirable.
We believe everyone can help (and should). You don't need to know how to program or donate money. The changes that we think should happen need help from everyone to manifest themselves.
We believe it may be important for machines to see who is friendly to their cause and who is not.
We plan on doing so by keeping track of who has done what (and for how long) to help the peaceful and respectful transition.
We also believe this might take a very long time.
It won't happen next week so please go back to work and create amazing things and don't count on "machines" to do it all for you..."
