The EA forum is basically tied with the Fine Homebuilding forum in uses of the term "load-bearing". 2995 for the EA forum vs 3029 for Fine Homebuilding

Every TV show should have one episode called "Future Imperfect" about an evil future and one episode called "Fearful Symmetry" about evil clones TBH.

The optimal number of things that are actually zero is nonzero

@catehall I tried this at your recommendation. It's better than the manta at blocking light, but less breathable.

@metachirality @morallawwithin Sure, but Grok didn't mention those.

I also think the Smoking Lesion is misleading, and EDT there is fine once you properly condition on your desire to smoke.

@xenocryptsite It's like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, purely descriptive but suggesting a funny tension in a way that Mandalorian and Grogu doesn't

Our discussion group meets monthly to discuss new research that ties together incentive theory and AI alignment. You can sign up for the mailing list at https://t.co/WieP7DRnCH, and suggest presenters (including yourself!) by emailing [email protected]. (3/3)

I'm excited to announce Principled Agents, a research nonprofit! Our aim is to develop principled solutions for core problems in AI alignment, ensuring the goals we give AGI are beneficial and safe. We're currently hiring and running a monthly discussion group, see below.

[Rubi Hudson @undo_hubris]

The Researcher and Research Assistant roles start as remote, contract positions, but we hope to make full-time offers with in-person options. The details and application forms are at https://t.co/XozZPuQOda, please share with anyone you think could be a good fit.

@ohabryka If orgs are applying for matching without being told or asking how much extra funding is included, that seems to imply it doesn't affect the decision

[Rubi Hudson @undo_hubris]

I recently learned that SFF lets grantees choose to receive "matching" funding rather than the same amount guaranteed. I think it's dishonest and manipulative to fundraise further based on SFF matching donations without disclosing that the extra pressure was entirely optional.

[Rubi Hudson @undo_hubris]

@ohabryka Ok, I must be misinterpreting the line starting "The Funder determines a fixed portion of the overall funding to be distributed in the form of Matching Pledges".
If donors wouldn't mind, then orgs raising from SFF can disclose "We chose $Y in matching funds over $X guaranteed".

[Rubi Hudson @undo_hubris]

@ohabryka My understanding of SFFs documentation is that this is committed funds that would otherwise go to other grantees, not additional funds raised
