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.

      @luminousalicorn I worry "Immortal bisexual polyamorous superbeing" might make some people feel pressured. It's okay to not be bisexual.

      @ESYudkowsky Yeah? It's okay not to be poly too. It's even okay to not be immortal or a superbeing, if that's what you prefer. I still am.

      @luminousalicorn (In case it wasn't clear, the joke is that bisexuality is the only part whose mandatoriness I objected to.)

      @ESYudkowsky That you were making a joke was not at all clear.

      @luminousalicorn Alas, Twitter. Well, in real life I think monogamy is also okay as long as people select it consciously.

          @luminousalicorn I do feel there is a deep moral dilemma if some 80-year-old infant wants to reject immortal superdom.

          @ESYudkowsky I think you get to say that only after you have a perfect cure for depression.

          @luminousalicorn There's a lot of things you only get to say in a world where wounds heal and scars fade.

          @luminousalicorn It's about assumptions. Things unproblematic in 2010 might be the default talking in 1950 and require warning sign then.

          @luminousalicorn 2010, lots of people know homosexuality is a thing. 1950, you'd have to check if someone is *sure* they're heterosexual.

          @ESYudkowsky I don't like putting conditions on it like that. Using a default isn't anything so strong as "not okay".

          @luminousalicorn @ESYudkowsky What would you say about e.g. women subjugated in some culture, such that if you just ask, they'll endorse it?

          @argletargle @ESYudkowsky I mean, this is a little complicated but I feel comfortable saying you shouldn't kidnap them.
