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.

    FACT: Any time anyone uses the word "inconceivable" to apply to anything, it does not mean what they think it means.

        It is inconceivable to the planarian that Twitter exists.

        Depends if they're talking about those things which are conceivably inconceivable, or inconceivably inconceivable.

        Is it inconceivable that they mean what they think they mean then?

        Logically this is true, in the same sense that you cannot label something as a UFO. But semantics is unfortunately rarely logical.

        It's inconceivable that friendly AI isn't a fool's errand. You can't create a god at the same time you create chains to control that god. You're better off trying to convince people to abandon computer and live off the land.

        because, to conceive, does not relate to reality, it is only limited by imagination. Anything you can imagine is, therefore, conceivable.
