maybe elites appear incompetent because they’re mostly trying to prevent AI disaster behind the curtains? perhaps that’s why GPT-4 hasn’t appeared yet – they coordinated not to do it.
on the other hand, induction has also never worked before for anti-inductionists, so they might try it.
lol, just realised that standard AI risk is just environmental disaster risk amped up to 10^(10^10), only that the direct perpetrator isn’t humanity (we’re only the proximate perpetrator). huh
what,,, you are trying to do good? how about I complain about you wanting to do good, and accuse you of being evil, even though on further questioning I would agree your actions are at worst net-zero?
children are also just self-replicating probes
not a big fan of retributive justice, but considering the fact that mosquitoe-borne diseases have killed half of all humans that have ever lived, we might consider exterminating the fuckers just because they deserve it.

collecting large STEM datasets for training huge models a good step for avoiding human models?
beating the ender dragon in minecraft with dying <100 times (but arbitrary training on video beforehand) seems like a nice candidate for another fire alarm (I wonder whether people would panic then, or whether that challenge is already AI-complete)

i remember having quite strange & unusual qualia as a child (kind of hard to describe & varied, i remember 2 specifically (not just the old “having more imagination” or “being easier to frighten”, but on a similar level as déja vu)), but these have faded over time as i went through adolescence. i wonder whether this is common. perhaps i should write that up, together with a rough description of those qualia
