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.

    Don't settle for somebody who only values you because they've learned specific information about you that updated their priors. Find somebody who loves you unconditionally.

        People. This, too, is a joke. It is a joke because the Bayesian process of updating based on evidence involves "conditioning" probability distributions. An unconditioned prior about you looks like a featureless blank template. Do not seek someone who loves you unconditionedly.

        Someone who loves me unconditionally based on such a limited set of priors, and without updating them as well? I don't think I could even like someone so undiscriminating.

        But then they don't really value your existence, just the predicates that you satisfy!

        isn't that... yes? I sort of assumed this was a default?

        Killjoy hot take: Unconditional love is appropriate for parents to give to small children. Giving or expecting unconditional love in adulthood is unhealthy.

        I always thought that phrase referred to conditional results, like "I love you conditional on SETH."

        Your idea about unconditional love is specific information that has update my priors about you. I'm so confused!
