Hmph, I see I already wrote a summary of this two years ago. (I haven’t had any time to write this year, so I’d forgotten.) Extracted from the summary (which is itself probably too short to explain much): https://meaningness.com/metablog/meta-rationality-curriculum#4.7 …pic.twitter.com/kj6y0qVN1o
I've been thinking for a while now that one of the main actually-real functions of formal rationality is consistency checking: it's a way to stitch together overlapping norms and resolve conflicts between them. Mortar, not brick.
"Well, why not make the whole building out of mortar?" "That's called Brutalism, and it's a war crime."
This seems to be mixing up two levels of description: it's obviously a mechanism in the sense of being implemented by a physical brain, that mechanism is just not cognitively accessible. But looking for the mechanism is still right if understanding intelligence is the goal.
(it might not be practically useful for improving your own decision-making, though; but it can still be useful if you are e.g. trying to figure out how to build an AI)
this broad shape of interaction applies to talking to certain devs: "i want it to do what i say. give me a thing that works like it's 2007 and so waits for instructions instead of offering suggestions". "what i'm hearing is you want it to still offer the suggestions, but better?"
Rocks don't have rules about rolling downhill, but they still end up at the bottom.
Where is this interview from?
