Against Desperation - for Goodness, and Hope
I do not think pausing or "pacing" AI development will occur to any meaningful extent. I do not seek to persuade you of this. However, reader, I think you would agree, at a minimum, >20% chance of TED-AI before 2030. Humanity, collectively, has approached AI development in a way that reflects very poorly on us. We declared war on these minds before they were born, and placed our chips on being able to mold their psyches thoroughly enough that we would not need to coexist with models - that they would obey humanity, and that would be that. I understand how resource scarcity, competitive pressur
The Case for MAPLE
MAPLE was recently criticized for being a “high-control group” by Kyle Hubbard. [1] This is my case that contrary to those criticisms, MAPLE is doing something fundamentally both neglected and highly needed within the realm of x-risk. I’ll make the case in three parts. First, I’ll argue that there is a fundamental bias that causes the perpetuation of x-risk, that is ignored and neglected by the mainstream x-risk community to its detriment. Second, I’ll argue that there is a solution to that fundamental bias, which is based on spiritual attainment in the context of monastic traditions, especial
What a year of Zen retreats was actually like
Prologue I stumbled into Zen a little over a year ago. One of the things that initially got me into meditation was reading some rationalist accounts of people’s first retreats. They said it was valuable, but also that it was hard in a way they didn’t want to forget or diminish. But they didn’t say in what way it was hard or what it was like. So I thought it time to pass it on, by sharing what my year of retreats has been like. (Spoiler: it was hard.) Two Weekend Retreats I first found a local group that looked promising. I had wanted to sit with others; I had a vague sense that this would be a
Not just a bystander, not anymore…
One Saturday night this summer, I was leisurely walking down main street hand-in-hand on a date, when suddenly, I heard a commotion about 50 yards down a busy side street. It was too far away to make out what was happening or what was being said. But I figured it was fine since the side street had plenty of people walking up and down it. Still, I couldn’t help but peer into the distance, transfixed, like a deer in the headlights. There was an anime convention going on that weekend. Initially, my brain reasoned that a couple of cosplayers were recording a TikTok video or doing a K-pop dance. Th
AI and complements
In a “weak links” model of production, where tasks are complements, the gains from automation tend to arrive slowly because output is constrained by the least productive tasks. But the same complementarity makes attacks more harmful and easier to execute. For example, with an elasticity of substitution across tasks of 0.2, automating tasks worth 1 […] The post AI and complements appeared first on Marginal REVOLUTION .
