paulfchristiano comments on AMA: Paul Christiano, alignment researcher

I take it back, Chaitin’s constant is more cool than I thought.

I don’t like the cardinal ${\aleph }_1$ very much, but I like $2^{{\aleph }_0}$ just fine so it’s not really clear if it’s a problem with the object or the reference.

What changed your mind about Chaitin’s constant?

I hadn’t appreciated how hard and special it is to be algorithmically random.
