A contradictory possibility is that agents which have different ultimate objectives can have different and disjunct sets of goals which are instrumental towards their objectives. I do think the core idea of instrumental convergence is wrong

It is a theorem about what a class of systems will do in general^. This Apollo Research study[0] result is dubious because it only refers to a small subclass of said systems, specifically LLMs which, as it happens, have been trained on all

I like this idea of an objective morality that can be rationally pursued by all agents. David Deutsch argues for such objectivity in morality, as well as for those other philosophical truths you mentioned, in his book The Beginning of Infin

Let's be clear that Bostrom and Omohundro's work do not provide "clear theoretical answers" by any technical standards beyond that of provisional concepts in philosophy papers. The instrumental convergence hypo -thesis,

To me such an interpretation suggests there are likely to be papers that were not so easy to spot, perhaps because the AI accidentally happened upon more plausible nonsense and then generated fully non-sense data, which was believable but

That would be annoying and could well have pushed me off the platform. I guess I avoided that* because I downloaded the local mobile sdk for the hue lights early on, and coded up an app which met my peculiar needs, never looking back. I alw

I'm curious why you are disgruntled with Philips Hue. They were quite honestly one of my happiest purchases, though I bought them when they were the only programmable color lights available to buy and I would probably get another model

It’s definitely not true because mushrooms are a type of multicellular fungi and the animal and fungal branches of life split off long before multicellularity arose.

Is calling it a charity accurate? It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, but not the “public charity” subtype, rather it is the “private foundation” type[0]. [0] https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/musk-foundation/#

From that quote it isn't clear precisely how Mr. Bankman was involved with his son's firm, how much he was an insider, particularly in the later days as the fraud presumably intensified. It's plausible that SBF, digging himse

As stated in my sibling[0] to your comment, the developer may have limited ability to fix it, since its a preference the system will often override. That said, its literally a one line change to implement it (for each view controller class

Thank you for elaborating. I appreciate the thoughtful approach to effectiveness, no pun intended. I guess I'm was just concerned with the risk of cargo-cultism where an arbitrary target like 10% of income donated to charity can beco

Why is 10% per month optimal? Does it vary with the possible harm of the actions taken to fund it? It would seem that at some risk level it should exceed the likely benefits, but I'm struggling with the calculus. I wasn't famil

Getting someone to invest in your idea is also a good way to demonstrate to others that your idea is worth investing in, a signal that isn't nearly as strong as when you invest in it yourself.

Thanks for this! A bit of prompt engineering know-how will help me get the most bang for the buck out of this beta. I also just want to say that dallery.gallery is delightfully clever naming.
