@bleepbeepbzzz @jd_pressman @ArkDavey AIXI is a perfect rolling sphere that you use to teach sincere students to think about a case of cognition where everything has in fact been fully specified; if you're an honest technical thinker, it teaches you to stop pulling out hypothetical complications that might save you.
I would love for ASI development to go well and be remembered as a dumb Luddite. I would *love* that. That’s basically the best case scenario. I hope I’m wrong about AI danger or we get lucky. But I just can’t leave it to chance.
possibly a major problem for human societies is that you can't deliver effective criticism of a thing if you aren't deeply familiar with it, but you're (in many cases) unlikely to become deeply familiar with something if you notice something wrong with it and choose not to engage
All the dramatic claims have been about Twitter, but I feel like Facebook has already quietly become basically-not-a-functional-website. It is no longer a place with core functionality like 'in a discussion, there's a way for each person to get notified when the other responds'.

The first rule of activism: It's not enough that your actions are intended to help fix some problem. They must actually help fix it. And you can't take this for granted, because the easiest forms of activism mostly don't.

Today in 4yo/AI stuffy relations, a lesson in how to not respond to a 4yo’s questions
A “surgical pause” won’t work because: 1) Politics doesn’t work that way 2) We don’t know when to pause For the politics argument, I think people are acting as if we could just go up to Sam or Dario and say “it’s too dangerous now. Please press pause”. Then the CEO would just…
It's unfortunate how discourse about dangerous capability evals often centers threats from today's models. Alice goes "Look, GPT-4 can hack stuff / scam people / make weapons," Bob goes "Nah, it's really bad at it." Bob's right! The ~entire worry is scaled-up future systems.

Some simple goals (ie make diamonds) lead to complicated actions. A hypothesis of "agent, with a complexity prior on utility functions" produces different predictions from "complexity prior on actions directly".
@ESYudkowsky RAW it's impossible to earn money by crafting items at all, because PCs only sell anything for half the listed price, and they need to pay half the listed price in materials
Something that a lot of Westerners don't understand about Gaza "siege": Israel used to supply its own water and power to Gaza, for tens of years. It's not like Israel has cut off some external supply lines, it just stopped supplying its enemy with Israel-produced utilities.
@ESYudkowsky D&D economics in any edition has never worked if you thought about it seriously. I think a large part was just that it was regarded as uninteresting by creators and most players so they got away with sloppy ideas. Unfortunately I think this is how many think about real economics.
@acidshill @ESYudkowsky theres a sort-of-reverse where an expert dismisses a criticism due to unfamiliarity with the domain the criticism stems from possibly a Kuhn-complete problem
@ESYudkowsky You might enjoy reading drivethrurpg.com/en/product/131… I think it's the best economics-for-TTPRGs out there, though please inform me of books that suit the task better.
@spectate_or @jogger08152 @ESYudkowsky @RokoMijic @robinhanson it's not trained to care about them. it's trained to sound like it cares. we don't know what it cares about. we only know what it says. can't look into its mind.
