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.

    Remember, the ultimate goal of online advertising and persuasion is to know enough about you to tailor a hole just for you. A hole that fits so perfectly you don't go back, even as it starts to change. With machine learning, everyone can have the hole that's made just for you.

        I *know*, right!? I think we just have to reinterpret the original manga as being about fake news on Facebook, being unable to click away, and what comes out the other side.

        Oh, dig deeper: Not only news. The content is shaped like a hole in which your mental system 1 fits perfectly and drags your system 2 along for the ride. I'm thinking on what to do about this. Meanwhile, I banned myself from fb.

        If you read the manga in reverse it's a happy story.

        My entourage of elclectronic sycophants (advertising Google results etc.) brought me here via a year old Tyler Cowen interview. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

        if we were ms paint file, then what this industry does, is select the "color" from you that suit's a narrow idea of what we are, and ups the fill tolerance bit by bit until we fit into it's texture map. it's so inhibiting that it feels more like a smoke filled room than a WWW
