I’ve observed much the same thing. And my conclusion is that we don’t have any proofs that ever greater intelligence converges to EU-maximizing agents.
Edit: We don’t even have an argument that meets the standards of rigor on physics.

What were the benefits?
Google’s auto-translation tools
Are there chrome-native tools which are better than google translate for webpages? Because you can use the latter on Firefox and it works pretty well.
That’s fair, but it sounds like a personal preference. I asked because maybe you knew there was something unusually bad about small flats in the Bay Area that even folks like me would find annoying.
you should be worried someone convinces you to move to the bay. it’s not worth it. like, literally entirely for cost of housing reasons, no other reason, everything else is great, there’s a reason people are there anyway. but phew, the niceness comes with a honkin price tag. and no, living in a 10ft by 10ft room to get vaguely normal sounding rent is not a good idea, even though it’s possible.
Why’s this not a good idea? 10ft by 10ft is a lot of room. More than I had in some flats when I went to university.
Starting steps for chores/longer term tasks I’ve been putting off. Things that reduce the problem a little on other words.
Thanks!
I can’t see a link to any LW dialog at the top.
Oh, I see! That makes a lot more sense. But he should really write up/link to his project then, or his collaborator’s project.
Alas, I think it’s quite unlikely that this article will make somebody fund me. It’s just that I noticed how extremely slow I am (without collaborators) to create a proper grant application.
IDGI. Why don’t you work w/ someone to get funding? If you’re 15x more productive, then you’ve got a much better shot at finding/filling out grants and then getting funding for you and your partner.
EDIT:
Also, you’re a game dev and hence good at programming. Surely you could work for free as an engineer at an AI alignment org or something and then shift into discussions w/ them about alignment?
Because future rewards are discounted
Don’t you mean future values? Also, AFAICT, the only thing going on here that seperates online from offline RL is that offline RL algorithms shape the initial value function to give conservative behaviour. And so you get conservative behaviour.
Since you seem interested in nootropics, I wonder if you’ve read Gwern’s list of nootropic self-experiments? He covers a lot of supplements, some of which are pretty obscure AFAICT.~
EDIT: https://gwern.net/nootropic/nootropics
No, it’s just that my prior says nootropics almost never work so I was wondering if you had some data suggesting this did e.g. by dowing a RCT on yourself or using signal processing techniques to detect if supplementing this stuff lead to a causal change in reflex times or so forth.
EDIT: Though I am vegan and I’m really ignorant about what makes for a good diet. So I’d be curious to hear why it’s helpful for vegans to take this stuff.
Why do you think DHA algea powder works?
Having a large set of small 2-10 minutes task on the screen may thus feel (incorrectly) overwhelming.
The size of a task on the screen is a leaky abstraction (of it’s length in time).
This is a valuable insight and makes reading this whole post worth it for me. And the obvious thought for how to correct this error is to attatch time-estimates for small tasks and convert them into a time-period view on a calendar. That way, it feels like “oh, I need 20 minutes to do all my chores today, better set a pomdoro” instead of “I have 20 things to do! 20 is big!”
Will have to try this. TEST: It doesn’t look that big, though I’m including starting steps of longer term tasks. Hmm, this doesn’t feel that bad, thought maybe that’s the endorphins from deciding to test this talking.
BTW I gave a strong upvote because I want to see more rationality related content on LW. Otherwise I would’ve given a normal upvote, or maybe not even that. Nevertheless, that still means this post gets a strong upvote.
I did notice that I learned much quicker than I have in the past when I’ve tried to learn instruments. Which tells me that my current character build optimisation towards learning and memory is working. That was a good data point to update on.
Wot.
Please explain!
This is not a video, but I think it counts as a useful example of tacit knowledge.

Wow, I didn’t realize just how bad student debt cancellation is from so many perspectives. Now I want more policy critiques like this.
John Carmack is a famously honest man. To illustrate this, I’ll give you two stories. When Carmack was a kid, he desperately wanted the macs in his schools computer lab. So he and a buddy tried to steal some. They got caught because Carmack’s friend was too fat to get through the window. Carmack went to juvie. When the counselor asked him if he wouldn’t get caught, would he do it again? Carmack answered yes for this counterfactual.
Later, when working as a young developer, Carmack and his fellow employees would take the company workstations home to code games over the weekend. Their boss eventually noticed this and wondered if they were borrowing company property without permission. He quickly hit on a foolproof plan to catch them: just ask Carmack because he cannot tell a lie. Carmack said yes.
These stories aren’t really a response to your point. I just find them to be hilarious examples of the inability to lie. They’re also an existence proof of someone being unable to lie but still doing very well.
If this were true, then you’d expect NeRF’s and SORA to be a lot less biased towards textures, right?
