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.

    TFW you're alone in a room with foil-blocked windows and the power goes out everywhere in central Berkeley and the room is pitch black and yet it still feels like you can see the outlines of things very faintly even though the room has no visible light source whatsoever

        I once got lost in a maze of tunnels. I'd convince myself I saw the faint outline of a doorway and walk into a wall. In the end I had to keep my eyes shut to convince myself I couldn't see.

        Maybe your eyes are sensitive to N-rays?

        They were about as effective as N-rays in averting collisions with the rock face. This was here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chislehurst_Caves …

        Is it an illusion, or your mind imposing its best-guess from memory? Is it useful at all?

        You never appreciate the difficulty of shutting out all light from an environment until you try to do a light sensitive experiment.

        Yeah, and then as your consciousness expands you start to become dimly aware of the thoughts of long-gone comrades, and you look down and see the faint outline of your own body as you drift slowly upwards to a beckoning light. Hate it when that happens.

        So a) Is the room within Berkeley, you don't say? b) would an invisible light source help?
