what I’m looking for in a community is people who take rat/EA ideas as given, and “yes and” them by talking about feelings with a non-berkeley-rationalist-dialect. “tpot” feels frustrating to me because it used to be close to this and now isn’t. I just want a name for this

in third grade I wrote “I want to cure death” as a life goal. Everyone found this very silly. I still endorse it

i sorta assume that there’s some fact out there which makes carrtington events not as scary as they seem because otherwise they would be a massive ea cause area but man everything I’ve read terrifies me
anyone else worried we get like a super carrington event and all major power transformers blow and since we have no backups and prod time is 2yrs the entire country has a 2yr blackout and the government collapses and we starve to death saying “no one could have predicted this”

the latest Claude model was just declared far more capable than expected. an AI proof of a millennium prize problem is about to be published. a mysterious blackout has just struck the city of San Francisco. the year is 2025. it is a fast takeoff

I think the cause of a weird disconnect is that there are actually relatively few jobs capable of being a primary source of life fulfillment but “writer” is one of them

@jtcbrule I think one of the missing models people have for typical mind fallacy is that there are some people out there who have *fundamentally* social epistemics. Not merely "It would be bad if I believed something that my tribe disbelieved." That's a category error for them.

the most effective intervention to increase favorability of trans people is a nationwide PSA campaign describing exactly what estrogen HRT does

If there were predictions about the total size of the AI alignment movement ~3 years ago, directly post ChatGPT, we’d be in the <5th percentile

for something that I believe to be true, the failure of EA groups to get ~anyone interested in alignment risk from AI is really weirdly bad and probably deserves a post-mortem

ignoring the rest of the essay I can’t get over the mind of the person who asked for the names of the dogs so that they could be looked up in the national dog database

holy shit this may be the most comically absurd California government program
"...drivers face even more burdensome costs of DUI class fees, high cost-insurance premiums..." What is the point of insurance if not to force people to internalize the risks? California already mandates that auto insurers provide subsidized insurance for repeat DUI offenders!
