@_AdolfHonkler @ShakeelHashim No. But if you’re white, and you’re saying that people of other colours shouldn’t “have access”, then… that is… racist? No?

Not saying here that this is automatically immoral. But you do see that it is:

- differentiating people based on skin colour
- treating them differently

@psychosort @CameronHolmes92 Excuse me, do you mean Bostrom?

What's kind of cool about this fun bracket is that there are occasionally some actual, tangible benefits that come out of these things. @Laura_k_Duffy is donating $500 to malaria prevention for each win, which is a reminder that Twitter does still have some great initiatives.

The alignment problem: creating a method that makes AI reliably not do bad things.

The greater alignment problem: getting people to use that method.

The greatest alignment problem: creating a method that still works when half the internet tries to break it, stans bad behaviour.

Scientists @NIH are planning to combine the low-lethality version of monkeypox spreading worldwide with a strain that is 10% lethal. NIH says this is not “gain-of-function” because the mutations are “all natural”.
Question: why on earth does that matter?

Well know and respected philosopher Derek Parfit is a fraud, and many of his most influential ideas find their origin in Buddhism. A short and troubling 🧵

Today is World Mental Health Day. We don't treat mental health as a global priority, but we should: it's big, bad, very neglected, and surprisingly tractable.
Here what's you need to know.🧵I'm drawing heavily on this @HappierLivesIns report https://t.co/Do6ptUf6aX

How effective altruist money is actually spent.

Most critics are wrong about this. And if their response is, "but EAs are inconsistent, and if they weren't they would spend the money badly".. then they are still wrong.

(Open disclaimer: I'm actually arguing this because I think brute-forcing AI capabilities with data is bad, and I want that to slow down:)

Hey, you know those huge AI models? Their real value comes from YOUR SCRAPED DATA that those corporations are TOTALLY NOT PAYING FOR.

I love this 'palindromic poem' from @juliagalef, inspired by a dialogue in Gödel, Escher, Bach

@WellbyThe19 @WellbysThe @WellbyThe2 @WellbyThe @QualyThe Do I count?

It seems like a lot of people and orgs sometimes use different definitions, which can lead to misunderstandings or just more difficulty in communication and cooperation. It feels like something is lacking there.

[Wellbee @WellbeeThe]

I’m surprised that with all the books on the AI Alignment landscape (Superintelligence, Life 3.0, The AI Does Not Hate You, Human Compatible, The Alignment Problem), there isn’t even one just documenting the different approaches and perspectives well (MIRI vs. OAI for example).

@jerrewillems @RafaRuizdeLira @SinclarityChen @WellbyThe A lot of people are saying this!
