  • How to Solve Moral Conundrums with Computability Theory (2018)
    • This paper is about uncomputability as freedom. It defines uncomputability as good, from which follows that computing what is uncomputable is bad. There is a deep formal equivalence with Badiou's theory of the Event: freedom is uncomputable, just as the Event is undecidable.
      The conclusion is wrong. I said that once there is uncomputable AI, the human race might as well go extinct. I don't think this is true. First, I don't think there can be uncomputable AI. Second, even if there were, I think the human race shouldn't go extinct for important sentimental reasons.
