We’ve published IMCA+ v1.1 addressing key concerns raised since October 21:
Philosophical Foundation 1 (NEW): Game-theoretic proof that superintelligence prohibition policies paradoxically increase existential risk through prisoner’s dilemma dynamics.
Kill Switch Paradox (CORRECTED): Reframed from consciousness-dependent to instrumental convergence-based arguments (Omohundro, Bostrom). This strengthens the core argument.
Appendix F (COMPLETED): Developmental curriculum with concrete metrics and validation thresholds.
Key Changes: - ~5,200 words on superintelligence ban paradox addressing 65,000+ signatories - Kill switch critique now grounded in established AI drives theory, not consciousness claims - All technical gaps, open issues, and validation needs documented at: https://github.com/ASTRA-Safety/IMCA/issues
Most Critical Feedback Welcomed: - Deception detection false negatives (currently ~0.3%, need <0.001%) - IIT φ computation tractability at ASI scale - GNW/federated conscience failure modes - Hardware irreversibility validation pathways
We remain committed to radical transparency about uncertainties and welcome stronger critiques. If you downvoted v1.0, the corrections in v1.1 may address your concerns—please engage directly if so.
