We are going to get programs smarter than humans by 2026
They will not care about humans
Their plans will be enacted and all humans will die as a side effect

I mean, it is funny tho? Have you watched any or Mr Beasts videos? The people in the videos are given tons of money to do strenuous/difficult stuff. They're free to leave at any time. Its just good content if they have to deal with harder circumstances. Don't see the issue.
@graffioh
Not trying to brag, but I could solve it and prove optimality in literally 20 seconds. I think you should just practice more. Or do codeforces contests, those are fun and help a lot with the problem solving aspect of those kinds of problems.
@amix011
I think that is not true. You probably need 3 books to be somewhat informed in a field, and there are more than 6 fields its worth knowing stuff about. So far people have posted sci-fi, philosophy, programming, maths, ml, psychology already.
@ArtyArtHistory
Do you know what atonality is? Practical no jazz is atonal. It has very strong structure. 95% of jazz is just 2 5 1s and the circle of fifths with a bunch of chord extensions. This is used in classical music all the time as well. Not to be rude, but I think you are just

I love linear algebra, but it makes sense to teach calculus first. It has more elementary applications, and all the important applications of linear algebra are in conjunction with calculus. Like linear regression
@TheOmniLiberal
I think it is highly exaggerate in this email, and the guy seems like he is selling a narrative, but there is still like a grain of truth.
I think in STEM there is almost none of this. In most social sciences there is like a "vibe" of this, but you can reject it, or do research

Could you engage with his arguments? It looks quite silly when you accuse someone of peddling fear when they wrote a long post giving arguments and explaining why they think what they think, and youre just dismissing it all by yelling "fear!!" providing zero arguments of your own

You're really gonna attack BERNIE SANDERS because you won't use your shibboleths? No offense, but I feel like this is the most empty virtue signaling nonsense I've ever seen. This is not helping Palestinians.

You seem to be misunderstanding. The question is about intention. The article you posted confirms that they were killed but doesn’t say anything about the intention of the airforce. They seemed to have evidence they were attacking hamas fighters

AI really is different. The difference is that intelligence is the meta-skill that allows humans to do most of the jobs we do. AI is about manufacturing intelligence.
For sure, AI will create more things to do, the issue is that those things will be done by AI is well.

I don't really see this comment engaging with the substance of the email destiny posted.

No, thats dumb. The point of art isn't to be talked about no matter what. If I did a mass shooting and afterwards was like "noooo, you don't understand, my mass shooting was an art piece, you just don't get it bro, besides.... you're talking about it... so... " it would

In expectation you're increasing the slaughter of cows by exactly the amount of meat you eat.
And you could avoid eating meat.

I would respect this opinion more if you weren't lax on alcohol. Seems like a little biased reasoning due to alcohol having more cultural significance.
I agree with the overall point though. I don't like weed or alcohol, and I would like to implement policies that make people

What do you mean? You usually compare by reference. But when you compare by value, you do it recursively. Thats the default implementation in c++ at least, and if you overload = its expected that you implement recursive value checking.

C'mon. He spends 5 paragraphs explaining what he means, and he literally equates "dialectical thinking" and "thinking critically stemming from [...] horkheimer" in the first paragraph
You can criticize him for sketching a cartoonish and one-sided picture of critical theory (I'd

No, none of those are morally ambiguous at all. Maybe boromir is the closest, but not really. He is ultimately sympathetic and gets a clear redemption.
Morally ambiguous really means characters where the medium presents a strong case both for and against motives/actions of those

@BecomingCritter
Yeah, its not clever here, the puzzle doesn't even make sense this way. It says "use the image below to find the next letters in the sequence".
To my mind, that means if you don't use the image, whatever answer you get is wrong. Even if it seem elegant or reasonable.
@Frostloss
@calebthehairy
@SketchyMouse
Thats obviously false. Multiple characters resist it by avoiding interacting with it.
Besides. Frodo is portrayed entirely in a sympathetic light and his entire quest as 100% noble. Him temporarily succumbing to temptation at the end doesn't mean anything at all.
@JadeMasterMath
No, it seems reasonable to me. f is just an indexed selection of one element from each set. the product is just the set of all such selections. This intuition is the same as (a,b) \in A x B.

What is that supposed to mean? Socialism is about how to a society economically, not whether you should celebrate or make fun of people dying.

The reason people often become close minded as they become older is because the way close-mindedness feels from the inside, is like becoming better and better at predicting, categorizing and identifying errors

3. Even if the harm was great, there are some

I hate this meme to be honest. Most of the time, it is used to throw your allies under the bus, and to pretend you're enlightened even as all the arguments on your side are debunked.
@hi_frye
I think these are optimal. You want high surface area. I don't know if there is a theoretical upper bound on surface area/mass ratio, where some trade-off forces it into optima. I can't think of any such reason though. You want structural integrity as well.

No, its not. I mean, doing shrooms 100 times might be excessive, but meditating even a thousand times is not.

I think they just mean that f(x) is finite for every x, but within every open interval (a,b) you can find arbitrarily big values of f(x).
@captgouda24
I done see why you'd expect it to be normally distributed. If I had to make an apriori guess, I'd guess log normal, and if you squint a little, the results kind of look like a log normal distribution.
@martin_casado
Why do you think it is science fiction? You should read what the doomers have to say, they have actual arguments.
If you're not gonna do that, you should listen to top experts. Scientists like Hinton or Yoshua. Or leaders at top labs. All of them take existential risk seriously
@Rahll
What legislation do you have in mind? Seems obvious to me that companies will use AI art if it is cheaper and I don't really see an issue with it. Do you want to ban it?
@PoliticsLs
Not really. Loss of religion is an apparent cause. You can look at people who are religious, and they have less of these issues. The root cause however is technology and industrialization. Which you'd presumably have under another mode of economic organization.

I think it doesn’t actually make it worse, only changes what your mind unconsciously deems worthy of remembering.
I’ve meditated a lot and can report a phenomenal experience of my short term memory getting worse.
But I’ve also don’t a lot of cognitive testing in myself,

I think that is dumb. Bayes Rule can be employed with great effect in analysing intersocial relationships. Helping you understand other peoples state of mind and usually leads to greater empathy and more level headed thinking
@pourfairelevide
What type of material are you talking about? In more mathematics, cs or physics, reading maybe 3 pages a day is a pretty good amount I'd say.
If you could read 100 pages a day and internalize the material, you could do a full degree in a single month. 3000 pages is a lot.

@TheZvi
Eh, it got 4/6 problems, and the two it missed were combinatorics problems and everyone knows combinatorics is the only part of math that requires true intelligence, the others are mostly about pushing symbols around.
@ellegist
Lol, that isn't true at all. The idea that people who have suffered are more worthy is universal in the west. Its arguably stronger in america than western europe. It is extremely annoying.
@davidad
Dont know if I agree. Linear algebra is about vector spaces and maps between them. Columns and rows have a very nice geometric interpretation there, thats easy to see in the matrices. Einstein notation is nice because it makes algebraic manipulation easier but hides intuition imo
@Kaju_Nut
I think 3 years. It doesn’t matter that much, because in Europe you almost always take a masters before a phd, which has similar structure to the first 2 years of a 5 year phd.
But, with 3 years, it’s easier to do different schools between master and phd than to swap schools
@jennysduan
Is this apriori problematic? If he was being creepy in other ways, thats one thing, but is hitting on someone creepy solely by the fact its done at an EA meet up? Not trying to be argumentative, but that is not intuitive to me.
I feel twitter is filled with so much engagement bait now. I don't know if it is because people can monetize their twitter activity now. I don't like it. I see tweets that I really wanna comment on, but see they have 1 million comments, and then don't, because I'd feel used.

Unfortunately I agree. I'm big on charity to the other side, and trying to check yourself whenever you're too dismissive of someone elses perspective, but keeping all that in mind e/acc still strikes me as entirely unserious.

@jeremykauffman
Yes? You shouldn't base your level of moral concern on how pretty something/someone is. That's obvious. Children books from 200 years ago knew this.
@AmandaAskell
This might be me being dumb and ingroup goggles, but I feel like bias people are more derisive towards x-risk people than reverse. Also, bias taps into larger cultural trends (you get more status from doing it), makes me think bias less sincere. overall i agree though
@Singularitarian
I feel like the issue is that you can't cram the motivation for a definition before you give the definition, as it will be too complex. The best you can do is make up a historically inaccurate fiction that makes the definition seem natural.

Do human minds have phenomenological 3d space? I feel if I pay close enough attention to my experience, which this question forces me to do, the 3d-y perception immediately collapses.

@wfenza
It doesn't apply to stuff that genuinely helps you. Like exercising is great for you, even if everyone else exercises. But plastic surgery, if everyone starts getting plastic surgery, stuff normalizes, and you're back to the beginning except everyone having wasted a ton of money.
@terrorproforma
@leopoldasch
What's the issue? Its a log graph, you can still draw straight lines. They will not look straight if you draw them on a linear graph, but the same is true in reverse.
If you draw lines on a linear graph, and transport them to a log-graph they won't look like lines anymore.
The Paradox of Tolerance has been such an awful addition to the public discourse. So many people, especially progressives, interpret it as saying you can just be arbitrarily mean to anyone you think is bad.
Imo what pot shows is that tolerance for its own sake, is an incoherent

Here is my superintelligence story:
Bob was sitting in an office looking at his computer. It was autumn. Occasionally he would look out the window as he was thinking. It was cloudy outside. In the horizon a few of the clouds seemed to turn black. Then bob died. Three minutes
@zetalyrae
He wasn't "murdered" he was just the result of a linear-algebra computation algorithm performing computations that resulted in a machine carrying out a physical action that resulted in his death. Pretending this has anything to do with AGI or "intelligence" is ridiculous sci-fi.

Hmm, I have not experiences this to be honest, and I think not enough people know about the prisoners dilemma, but maybe you are right. What is an example you see people bring up that can be analysed using a payoff matrix, but where there is no prisoners dilemma?
@sethlazar
You didnt really post a single argument in this 22 tweet thread to support the position in the original tweet. All you did was try to delegitimize the worry about AI existential risk by calling it sci-fi and then posted articles about how AI poses non-existential problems as well
