They skim read some utilitarianism, which is a limited school of thought (if it has any value at all), and jumped straight to "fuck yes! This is everything!"

"AI alignment" really is just about working out their shared world sci fi collaboration in c/[email protected]

People seldom go to the toilet in fiction, but especially not in utopian sci-fi. The rats, ironically, never factor in waste.

Are we more fixated on individual "genius" vs collectivism than at any other point in history? (awful.systems)
 

This is a slightly emotional response off the back of a discussion with a heavily TESCREAList family member recently. Which concluded with his belief there are a very small number of humans with incredible information processing abilities that know the real truth about humanity's future. He knows I hate Yudkowsky, I know he considers him one of the most important voices of our time. It's not fun listening to someone I love and value heading into borderline scientology territory. I kind of feel like, just with Peterson a few years ago, this is the next post-truth battle on our hands.
