Yudkowskian Probability Theory

what a throwback

Dan Luu’s “A discussion of discussions on AI bias”, about techbros trying to gaslight the rest of the world into thinking ML models don’t have problems

okay but if they hadn’t done that we wouldn’t have gotten this work of art

Why when we look into the stars do we not see a sign of life anywhere else? Has life not emerged yet or has it wiped itself out? With what? Nukes? AI? Synthetic viruses made with AI? Who knows…

entertaining this awful sci-fi schtick for a moment - if every civilization is wiped out by “superintelligent AI”, how come you can’t look through a telescope and see signs of artificial life? in this fantasy world shouldn’t planets taken over by paperclip factories be even more conspicuous?

value is when line go up

why tf can’t she say the word “racist”? like is it supposed to be a dogwhistle insinuating similarity between “racist” and “leftist”??

I don’t want to come and help “balance out” someone who thinks that using they/them pronouns is worse than committing genocide.

Does anyone really think this, or are you just using hyperbole?

Not hyperbole. Hanania, Manifest promoted speaker, wrote “Why Do I Hate Pronouns More Than Genocide?” in May 2022.

I just can’t, it’s like that one scene from Austin Powers.

Isn’t it like not real money? Or have they changed that

Analyzing our data we conclude with 95% confidence that within a decade the Dyson Sphere Any% TAS time will be reduced below 55 seconds (± 1E10 years).

and here i just assumed the name was original to ffxiv

no

“[massive deficiency] isn’t a flaw of the program because it’s designed to have that deficiency”

it is a problem that it plagiarizes, how does saying “it’s designed to plagiarize” help???

The normal way to reproduce information which can only be found in a specific source would be to cite that source when quoting or paraphrasing it.

I thought Penrose was a smart physicist, the hell is he doing peddling this.

yea i did try to read the lecture notes and got reminded very fast why i don’t try to read physics writing lol

I think there is in fact a notion of continuous entropy where that is actually true, and it does appear to be used in statistical mechanics (but I am not a physicist). But there are clearly a lot of technical details which have been scrubbed away by the LW treatment.
