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 am very suspicious of this report, which sounds exactly like what I would expect New York Magazine to want to be true; I *know* reporters lie like rugs. It's also sorta what I would expect to be true. Should that matter? I don't know... Debunk plz?http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book-donald-trump.html …

        Well worth your time to read but the evidence in the article doesn't really back up the claim in the headline that Trump didn't want to win. It suggests Trump was resigned toward losing, and was unprepared for winning, but neither of those is the same as him wanting to lose. https://twitter.com/NYMag/status/948598937392435203 …

        It's a bit difficult to reconcile the two narratives of "Trump colluded with Russia in order to win the Presidency" and "Trump never wanted to be president" They can both be wrong and they can't both be right.

        It’s impossible to really know, since Trump is expert at mirroring what his audience wants to hear without regard for the truth. I’m sure this includes the family as well.

        Michael Wolff reports in his book that Trump didn't know who Boehner is. But Trump has tweeted about Boehner multiple times throughout the years. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/01/michael-wolff-fire-and-fury-book-donald-trump.html … pic.twitter.com/HyzD8e50dI

        Are you familiar w research indicating that it’s difficult for people polled on potential legislation to believe it is being represented fairly if it sounds sufficiently bad? Is there a name for the phenomenon of refusing to believe something if it sounds sufficiently awful?

        Trump has never wasted his time on something he didn’t “want to accomplish”. Typical meaningless liberal media too lazy to address real issues that require investigation, ie work!!!

        Agree with @NateSilver538 . Trump expected to lose and was accepting of that outcome, and so "wanting" wasn't really coming up, but that does not mean he wanted to lose.

        This article aside, on an intuitive level this is exactly what I thought about Trump's campaign. I largely saw his candidacy as a publicity stunt, his then increasingly outlandish behavior being an attempt goad voters into pushing him out of the race.

        Bannon has not denied anything attributed to him, but some of the other people quoted have. My guess is that it is a mixture of truth and fabrication, with more fabrication than most news reporting.

        While the article might be playing it, the gist of it is probably correct. Trump wasn't presidential material when he ran and is probably staying because to resign is disgraceful and to stay allows him to rake in favors and publicity. Probably also thinks he could be great at it.
