It always ends up the same way, "I should do what I want, and I want to do cruel, weird shit to other people without their consent"
Yawn.

потерял точилку на кухне

интересно, есть ли "рациональные" способы поиска потерянного? (точилка подарок, поэтому есть эмоциональная привязанность)

получил обновление своих убеждений о мире и о своих навыках искать точилку

Interesting read about piano tuning

Разобрался в основном с алгоритмом обучения gradual value/policy iteration, прикольненький.

https://gibberblot.github.io/rl-notes/single-agent/policy-iteration.html тут что-то про него

Всё ради того, чтобы разобрать статью. Какого формата статья?

"Смотрите, круто если мы будем reward при обучении с подкреплением не максимизировать, а делать равным чему-то. Вот как это делать. Оказывается, если выбирать интервал, то получается много способов это сделать. Тогда можно наложить всяких ограничений по безопасности, чтобы не улететь по случайности в ту или иную сторону, или не выбирать слишком хардовые шаги и тд"

@futurebird
'Terraforming earth' would get a lot more people interested but it would also be like shit for flies to the #ExistentialRisk / #Longtermism / #LessWrong / #TESCREAL crowd. You'd almost immediately see it coopted to advocate for building a bunch of fusion-fueled domed cities populated by white people designign a brave new future filled with computronium-maximizing nanoassemblers & simulated humans living simulations of lives optimized for maximum neo-Utilitarian 'happiness.'

#LessWrong-ism leads to thinking GPTs get more creative when they're hot.

OMG you guys I asked ChatGPT to tell me what is the best thing in the world and the answer it gave me will leave you speechless.

I have chills. The AI future is now.

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment about the potential risks involved in developing artificial intelligence. Its conclusion is that an all-powerful artificial intelligence from the future might retroactively punish those who did not help bring about its existence, including those who merely knew about the possible development of such a being. It is named after Roko Mijic, the member of the rationalist community #LessWrong who first publicly described it, though he did not originate the underlying ideas.

The basilisk resembles a futurist version of Pascal's wager, in that it suggests people should weigh possible punishment versus reward and as a result accept particular singularitarian ideas or financially support their development.

Despite widespread #incredulity, this argument is taken quite seriously by some people, primarily some denizens of LessWrong.

I'm unsure about #Satanism.
I think I need to weight it against #Paganism.

Both are very promising to a nerd who found the edge of rationality.

It's naive to think that one can't be a servant of science and still believe in whack shit. That's lession #1 of being a rationalist: you're a subject and you will always be subjective. That's why we never use the term "rational" to describe a person or opinion. We only use the term to describe a thinking process.
