@robbensinger The kind of government that takes 120 days to get a report on this kind of urgent problem is not the kind of government that will respond appropriately when the report arrives, even if there would still time to act in principle, then. More bearish signs from this perspective.
@Sauers_@allTheYud@Austen How is this obvious? Philosophers have argued about this forever with no conclusion, what insight do you have that is so obvious?
@So8res Seems like a good addition for that "bad prime number arguments" account. 'People who argue that 57 isn't prime never change their arguments. Therefore it is prime.'
@sam_rosenfeld Why hasn't he spoken up about it before, if he's been thinking about it for a long time? I can maybe get that with Trump in office he can't say anything because it will automatically get Trump to be on the other side. But he could have said something during Biden's presidency.
@bent_pine@ChanaMessinger A smart AI would understand that we would just shut it off if it tipped its hand while it's still vulnerable. If you think it would, you're not respecting its intelligence. A smart AI would pretend to be aligned until it made sure we can't stop it anymore. THEN it betrays us.
@Plinz How does that have anything to do with *how* to align ASI, a technical challenge?
If you think people who worry about ASI killing everyone are secretly evil who would themselves kill everyone if they were smarter, then you have failed to understand the orthogonality thesis.
@GarrettPetersen You can make knots in higher dimensions! Not with a one-dimensional loop, but you can make e.g. knots with a 2D surface in 4D.
You can even knot 3D spheres in 6D which is surprising, because normally knots happen if your object has 2 dimensions less than your ambient space.
@advancedjd@pathprojector@Aella_Girl That cannot explain you being more into bod faces (if there is such a thing) than 97% of voters. It doesn't say "you find bpd faces attractive" but "you find bpd faces mote attractive that most people", something that cannot be true for everyone at once.
@Aella_Girl Why are there so many AI generated pictures in the women's face one? I feel like they were supposed to be attractive but some of them just look off and uncanny.
