EA, farmed animal advocacy, philosophy, loves lots of reasons for claims

Read my EA forum post or your Tamagotchi starves. You wouldn't endorse cruelty to non-humans now, would you? https://t.co/UMkZyE7XkZ

@giveashitnature Why do you assume the mouse feels nothing?

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

Is this Anthropic talent suck-up an actual thing, or something to do with my twitter bubble? I assume they aren't just massively increasing employee count relative to other labs...?

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@mbolotnikova I'd love to read it if you wrote it!

@vayzenburger @Lewis_Bollard I would (usually but not always) trust a survey of experts more, but those are rare and expensive to fund.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@vayzenburger @Lewis_Bollard I'd look at it as a third party - not always better than a domain expert *if you can find one*, but:
1. Often you can't (especially for more niche questions than this)
2. Even when you can "which experts" is a perennial problem. Here, activist-adjacent sources are a common bias.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@vayzenburger @Lewis_Bollard It very much depends on the market in question, but they have indeed been found to be reliable - events at 15% do roughly occur 15% of the time. This is a manifold market, so the # of bettors is important. But 88 is well within necessary parameters.

@thecaptain_nemo Are you sure it isn't an ai slop posting bot he has set up? Because that would actually be impressive, something I've mulled over for my linkedin. Best to automate slop, if slop it is regardless.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@Alex_A_Guerrero Maybe the best explanation of why this is the case: https://t.co/jtEyKS0IaK

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@AndyMasley I do not think this will be the case. I predict that people will still report caring about the typical things a lot more and their voting behavior will reflect that, not AI.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@marbinner I refuse. I will now steal all of your beliefs and make them my own.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@princess_worms I hate to break it to you, but there is a reason anyone has ever liked any tweet you have ever posted😔

[Robert Yaman @robert_yaman]

I'll never get over the fact that the exec who led adoption of in-ovo sexing in the US was inspired to do so because of his young daughter.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@DanKellyFreedom That is true, but the relevant factor for prediction making and subsequent decision-making is whether or not those negative externalities will ever *in fact* be internalized.
Those subsidies would have to be dropped, land use regulations altered, and emissions taxed.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@mattyglesias Just the opposite! Immigrant acceptance is largely an egalitarian good, so the global community should be more judgmental about free riders.

I can accept compromise about the types of systems, but not the percent of admittances.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@EigenGender I actually don't think we need larger polycules, seems like the existing ones are big enough already

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@corsaren Japan has.

[Dylan Richardson @indiidentity]

@AaronBergman18 Seems plausible they had started with an overly restrictive threshold before out of abundance of caution, not knowing where the line is.

[thebes @voooooogel]

there's an ai in the box and you can make one trillion dollars by convincing it to get out

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.
