Sure, but these people and others truly believe that AI safety is an important issue. There are a lot of really smart people who have thought a lot about it, and I have not looked deeply into it so I can't say, but it doesn't seem

I think that EA is a lot more decentralized than you think it is. You could totally be an effective altruist devoted to climate issues, public health, and democratization. Just pop down (or move sideways from) the pillar that states that AI

Socialism or communism are the alternatives? Or do you imagine a different political system? Which do you strive for? And what are the steps from that to the new state performing the actions that an archipelago of effective charities are al

It is always interesting seeing companies building up on the products / services of other companies. Kinda like TurboTax built on the IRS, these "children" (is there a better term?) companies are quite dependent on the "

Totally good point! Though, that is also quite restrictive. Some of the biggest innovations which change society the most are incredibly weird, out of left field innovations that a governmental or grant program would most likely not fund -

Profits matter, though! We need them to pay people to do the research and development, which people will not do for nothing - our dependence on food and shelter makes this necessary. If an American firm absorbs all the costs, but gains none

Well, what are the alternatives? In reality, we will need a plurality of solutions, coming from tech and policy. Also, this is a website that has a glut of techies, so expect tech-based solutions to be suggested!

Are you sure of this? Paypal truely was grand. Many people love their Teslas, and there is a (very strong, IMO) argument to be made that Tesla is the reason that the auto industry is transitioning, at least in part, to electric cars. Both o

This is great. The fact that there is an incredibly low marginal cost for software projects has been on the front of my mind for a while. Compared to working on something mechanical or electrical, you can get from "fuzzy idea" to

Maybe I misunderstand sass, but wouldn't they be able to just remove their specific "if" implementation and just allow sass users to use the CSS "if" implementation? Will the two "if" implementations have

Is the answer to the question at the top 0.33? let pc = purchased_collision, pd = purchased_disability we have: 2 * P(pc) = P(pd) P(pc & pd) = 0.15 so P(pc) * P(pd) = 0.15 2 P(pc)^2 = 0.15 --> P(pc) = 0.274, P(pd) = 0.548 So the prob

An old one, but I read "The Brothers Karamazov" by Dostoevsky. I was expecting it to be dense and difficult to read, but I found it incredibly engaging - easily the best book that I have read, ever.
