Ngl yesterday at the airport I had >1% credence of "AI takeover is happening" for half an hour

@niplav I've had this feeling at least two times, but not for an entire half-hour! (I can't recall credences, but the plausibility was just emotionally salient/urgent to me.)

@niplav Anyway, um… I have question for you. 👉👈

I want to ask an AI (via system/user message) to use subscript probabilities (or another non-clumsy in-line way to do it), but I'm not sure what the semiotically-optimal option is.

- Confidence interval? Idk how to write those, or how avoid subtle noob-mistakes.

- Or maybe point-estimates are fine? In percentages or odds? Log-odds?? Or maybe "share likelihood ratios, not posterior beliefs"? Hartleys then??
