#effectivealtruist

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is facing an internal crisis as staff members and scientists have threatened to resign over the anticipated appointment of Paul Christiano to a crucial, though non-political, position at the agency’s newly-formed US AI Safety Institute (AISI), according to at least two sources with direct knowledge of the situation, who asked to remain anonymous.

I've said it before but I guess I need to keep saying it: Any discussion of #LongTermism needs to be very clear that the "future people" are entirely hypothetical, & the probability of their existence in most contemporary #Longtermist scenarios is astronomically improbable.

Similar caveats apply for all the #effectivealtruist arguments I've heard - & in general needs to be applied whenever you're looking at #utilitarianism, as well.

Mastodon has been feeling kinda dead lately. Each week for the last few months I use it less and less. Why? I don't know. Perhaps the difficulty of finding engaging sub communities?
