It always ends up the same way, "I should do what I want, and I want to do cruel, weird shit to other people without their consent"
Yawn.

You've finally saved enough #money for that #Swasticar you've always wanted but thanks to Felon MuSSk it's #NotCool anymore.
What to do?
Why not consider buying another brand of car for which nature and people have been exploited?
Still wrong, but so much #LessWrong!
What are you waiting for? Thanks to the orange clown the prices of #cars in the Divided States will soon skyrocket! (To Mars)
Or... you can just do everything by bike and use your savings to build a nuclear shelter 🤔
Fascinating! 😇

lol of course the rationalist reporter kelsey piper supports james damore. rationalists have never met a sexist/racist/etc computer toucher they didn't like. #rationalism #lesswrong #effectivealtruism

потерял точилку на кухне

интересно, есть ли "рациональные" способы поиска потерянного? (точилка подарок, поэтому есть эмоциональная привязанность)

получил обновление своих убеждений о мире и о своих навыках искать точилку

#LessWrong is a community blog focused on "refining the art of human #rationality." To this end, it focuses on identifying and overcoming bias, improving judgment and problem-solving, and speculating about the future. The blog is based on the ideas of Eliezer Yudkowsky, a research fellow for the Machine Intelligence Research Institute (MIRI; previously known as the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, and then the Singularity Institute). Many members of LessWrong share Yudkowsky's interests in #transhumanism, artificial intelligence (AI), the #Singularity, and #ai

Разобрался в основном с алгоритмом обучения gradual value/policy iteration, прикольненький.

https://gibberblot.github.io/rl-notes/single-agent/policy-iteration.html тут что-то про него

Всё ради того, чтобы разобрать статью. Какого формата статья?

"Смотрите, круто если мы будем reward при обучении с подкреплением не максимизировать, а делать равным чему-то. Вот как это делать. Оказывается, если выбирать интервал, то получается много способов это сделать. Тогда можно наложить всяких ограничений по безопасности, чтобы не улететь по случайности в ту или иную сторону, или не выбирать слишком хардовые шаги и тд"

I think this is the most important question we all need to ask ourselves.

@futurebird
'Terraforming earth' would get a lot more people interested but it would also be like shit for flies to the #ExistentialRisk / #Longtermism / #LessWrong / #TESCREAL crowd. You'd almost immediately see it coopted to advocate for building a bunch of fusion-fueled domed cities populated by white people designign a brave new future filled with computronium-maximizing nanoassemblers & simulated humans living simulations of lives optimized for maximum neo-Utilitarian 'happiness.'

#LessWrong-ism leads to thinking GPTs get more creative when they're hot.
#WisdomAccelerationism (a play on #EffectiveAccelerationism or maybe just #Accelerationism - taking either one seriously enough to fix it by substituting 'wisdom' is a little concerning, especially given the apparent belief that GPTs are 'creative.')
