lockchains are a new form of informat ion technol o g y tha t cou ld have several important future applications. One is blockchain thinking, formulating thinking as a blockchain process. This could have benefits for both artificial intelligence and human enhancement, and their potential integration. Blockchain thinking is outlined here as an input-processing-output computational system. Its ben...

This paper introduces some new ideas related to the challenge of endowing a hypothetical future superintelligent AI with values that would cause it to act in ways that are beneficial. Since candidates for first-best solutions to this problem (e.g. coherent extrapolated volition) may be very difficult to implement, it is worth also looking for less-ideal solutions that may be more easily impleme...

In ‘‘Does Chain-Ganging Cause the Outbreak of War,’’ Dominic Tierney critiques our work on alliance politics in Europe in the first half of the twentieth century. Tierney incorrectly ascribes to us a theory about the outbreak of conflict based on a ‘‘chain-ganging theory’’ in which war occurs because states become so tightly tied to their allies that they lose volition and find themselves in co...

The compensatory model of work motivation and volition synthesizes some previously unrelated lines of research. The structural components of the model are implicit motives, explicit motives, and perceived abilities; the functional processes are volitional regulation (compensating for inadequate motivation) and problem solving (compensating for inadequate perceived abilities). Propositions that ...
