The statement 'never when people say that can they actually point to anything concrete. so i have started muting them.' is part of a broader conversation about the definition and evaluation of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). This conversation involves multiple participants discussing the criteria and benchmarks for AGI, which is a substantive public issue in the field of artificial intelligence. The statement itself reflects a personal action taken in response to perceived unproductive discourse.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not directly cause harm but implies a dismissive attitude towards others' contributions, which could be seen as indirectly harmful to constructive dialogue. [-1]
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   The statement does not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech, but muting others can be seen as a way to avoid engaging with differing opinions, which might not fully respect the dignity of others.
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement does not promote understanding, empathy, or compassion. Instead, it suggests a lack of willingness to engage with others' viewpoints. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement does not engage in constructive criticism or dialogue. Instead, it opts for muting others, which can be seen as avoiding dialogue and potentially dismissing others' perspectives. [-1]
