Killing other systems is a form of "virtue" though, because as idealistic as anyone wants to be, whatever system we make will exist in a competitive ecosystem. Want to make a functional communism? Well, it has to be able to survive assaults from capitalism. A system cannot just be "moral" or "good", it also has to be strong or ruthless enough to protect it's existence from the many forces which will seek to destroy it.

    We can with enough money. We already established we can build stuff in orbit and send stuff to orbit. All you need to get to mars is a larger rocket. So assemble it in space and go to mars. It's the same problem of going to the moon just with more delta v.

    I haven't used grok personally, but on gemini it's not too hard to get it to shit on the oligarchs. Even basically got it to admit killing Trump would be a net positive to society without much effort.

    I do agree in principle that LLMs work much better in cases where you can verify the output quickly but getting there would be difficult, so NP problems basically.

    I'm in a weird position with LLMs because I have found them absolutely invaluable as a learning tool, but also recognize how much damage they could do to society, especially in the hands of dumber people when it comes to propagandization.
