Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

      I'm a simple cause precedes effect guy. Imo, it's natural for us to overreach, create complex systems we don't understand and then when they 'sorta' work meddle with them some more trying to improve. Without understanding. Thus you get stuff like Chernobyl.

      Cause predicts effect is a very sensible human scale way of thinking, it just happens to be drastically wrong on a molecular / cosmic scale, where cause/effect are nonlinear + gravitational forces imo.

      Also, nonlinearity isn't a problem. Epidemics & other snowballing phenomena are nonlinear but perfectly understandable to most advanced ape brains. Effects from the future causing things in the past wouldn't be just non-linear. My math vocab is at loss here.

      Timeless Decision Theory + Deluzian Cybernetics of BwO both provide window onto the trans temporal / atemporal Real - linear time is a function of cognition / perpectival limits. https://intelligence.org/files/TDT.pdf

      I don't trust @ESYudkowsky. If the paragon of rationality resembled the guys posted by @bronzeagemantis, I would consider it.But he looks like Kahn (pic), and it's not by choice - his OKC seemed to suggest a boring vanilla BDSM type rather than a fat fetishist.I'm not impressed.pic.twitter.com/0h2mAEG9vZ

      So what body fat % do I need to attain for you to trust me how much? Quantified as a donation to CFAR, let's say.

      I'd donate one monthly income of mine if you went to 15% body fat. It's not that much absolutely; I have untreated ADD of some sort and my job is low-paid. Additionally, if you maintained that for two years, I'd donate two more average monthly incomes (from more recent averages)

      So, best case $500 if you magically lost weight now and then maybe $2000 or possibly $5000, depends on whether I find better work in the meantime.

      *Sigh.* If you're actually at $500/month then I'm not going to spring the trap on you for $500. Here's a picture of myself I just took. Meditate upon it and become wiser.pic.twitter.com/sw144pdZlO

          I feel like I should have predicted faster that the sort of person who hates me will loudly complain about having seen a weight-loss pic of me, then force their fellows to look at it too. I'd regret generating so much disutility, but I don't even know if that's what it is.
