    I wrote an article: "Absent coordination, future technology will cause human extinction" Building on Bostrom's Vulnerable World Hypothesis, I discuss the imperative for strong forms of international coordination.

    This is true, but it's not the whole story. Likes are clicker training for both the humans and the algorithm. This is a problem when you want to like something but not see more of it. We need more control over the algorithms.

    This is actually a huge underestimate, in one sense - H1N1 didn't go away, and is currently a seasonal influenza strain accounting for ~50% of 2019-2020 flu cases. Fairly mild but scary novel diseases don't usually go away, they become routine, are endemic, and get forgotten.

    The error bars on this are pretty large. According to the wikipedia article (which inspired this post), "It is estimated that 11–21% of the global population contracted the illness, and 151,700–575,400 died."

    Thanks for playing everyone! Don't feel too bad if you got it wrong. I study biosecurity and I didn't remember this until I looked it up.

    Little known fact: the 2009 H1N1 flu infected between 11 and 21% of the world's population. ~1,000,000,000 was the correct answer

    It's true that most conspiracy theories are false, but it's unfortunate that the information ecosystem around them consists mainly of beefing, because beefing makes for extremely poor sensemaking.

    Conspiracy theorizing and conspiracy debunking are both instances of "beefing". Both sides think they are on the side of truth, but the thing they are actually engaged in is information warfare.

    Look I don't usually do these memes but I'll make an exception for Nick Bostrom. Some serious cosmic endowment potential right here. 📈

    Plus 3) Prove that we can still do inspiring things together. I'm not sure this makes sense either, but if we are going to have sports, tech and science achievement is more interesting than physical achievement.

    From a friend: Uranus - Rings - Coldest planet in solar system. Colder than theory would suggest it should be Reason unknown - Retrograde rotation - Spooky homogeneous appearance - Mysterious 98 degree tint - 1 "day" at the poles lasts decades - Uranium? Cool Neptunium? Who cares
