thing i need to remember is that while there are many reasons not to have read much on a given day, there are few reasons to have read truly nothing. even reading for forty-five seconds and then dropping the text exempts one from that status. likewise, writing truly nothing, as in not even a few words, is very difficult to justify. even a false start devoid of all motivation which gets through a sentence, half a sentence, accomplishes that. so i should probably avoid those two absences

it's so fascinating how there's a distinction between people who play video games because they're a unique experience curated by game designers and people who play them for the same reason a rat in a cage pushes a button to get food twitter.com/_rawrell/status/16

the subtext of the tip transaction is "I want more of what you're doing to happen", and the market dynamics emergent from this are that of "I will behave in a way I believe will get me more tips"

this is equivalent to a behavior market, albeit an implicit & limited informal one

while tipping at first glance doesn't appear to resemble a traditional market transaction, it becomes apparent once you consider that what a tip is being exchanged for is nothing less than an update to the counterparty's belief about your desired future state of the world

桜の咲いた駅に列車がいる春の暖かい風景なんですが
そこに手を繋いだ親子が入ることで
暖かい風景が温かい風景に変わってしまう
まるでマジックのよう。

there is no “how” here at all, only assertions meant to convince you of the scale of risk twitter.com/esyudkowsky/status

Can we please excise this terrifying individual from serious consideration in AI safety? This is not a field leader, this is someone who is literally willing to kill everyone-minus-epsilon on the confidence of his apocalyptic vision.
