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 feeling when you've always thought this and are glad to learn it wasn't only you. Like who the hell carves a battering ram as a wolf's head, every single person involved in this decision process needs to be fired, no wonder they lost the war.https://twitter.com/harrisimo/status/955403287381016577 …

        Well if Sauron wasn't so inefficient at turning physical resources into sentient utility, he wouldn't be evil, right?

        It inflicts a penalty on enemies' morale checks, Eliezer, I really shouldn't have to point this out to you.

        Any thoughts on the upcoming @SamHarrisOrg podcast? @joerogan , this is an awesome guest you could have, by the way! I really hope you end up on Joe's show too, as it tends to be longer on average, and it gets really fascinating with the right guests.😁

        My mental model of the world just shuts down trying to imagine Joe Rogan and Eliezer doing a podcast. I am strongly in favor of this.

        Presumably Grond is shaped like an animal because it once was an animal, it would move autonomously and it would push its own way through castle walls. It lost the ability to move, but it retained some magic that weakened stone, so they chained it to a mount and kept using it.
