Yet more “research” primarily citing itself and science fiction charlatans like Yudkowsky, without any apparent awareness of (1) the actual state of artificial intelligence research or (2) any serious grounding in philosophy.

A paper like this could be interesting if there were some attempt to define an algorithmic/heuristic framework for morality, or a way of mapping philosophical frameworks to software, or something along those lines. Instead, it's just more MIRI-or-whatever-it's-called-this-week wankery.
