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.

      The most important difference between Proof-of-Work and Proof-of-Stake is that PoW brings revenue to GPU and ASIC manufacturers, which affects R&D timelines for computing hardware, which affects AGI timelines. And yet people obsess over a bunch of trivial other properties.

      But is AGI good or bad for humans?

      My mental model of @ESYudkowsky says "inevitable, really good if done right, really bad if done poorly, and we'd have a much better shot at getting it right if we had more time to get better at the alignment stuff"

      Nice prediction, Vitalik. IMO: AGI implies a self-improving system. Ultimately, self-improving systems would arrive at the same state (some objective truth), regardless of how well or poorly they were intially created. Question is how to start that general self improvement cycle.

      False. There's a good rebuttal of this on LW but I can't find it; basically, there is no such thing as an "ultimate correct goal that everyone will realize once they're smart enough". Maybe start withhttp://lesswrong.com/lw/st/anthropomorphic_optimism/ …

      It might be overly technical-sounding for a first plunge but they could try:http://Arbital.com/p/orthogonality

          assumes goal is expressible in language (imperfect). AGI, optimize ideal proof-of-[xyz] algo. Ideal?
