A few times I’ve mentioned that nobody has adequately explained why the best method that we have of controlling humans (the market) wouldn’t also work for AIs. Scott Alexander recently posted an entry… No Physical Substrate, No Problem… that is by far the best explanation that I’ve come across. From my perspective though his explanation is still far from adequate. The biggest problem is that there’s no real recognition of the significance of garbage in, garbage out. I thoroughly explained my point here… Debugging Scott Alexander And Paul Krugman.
If your reply clearly reveals that you haven’t bothered to read my thorough explanation… then this will support my suspicion that it’s better to share just the link without any description of the contents. I’d prefer to trade with 1 person who has read the contents rather than trade with 100 people who have only read the description.
And of course you’re certainly welcome to downvote this! But I’ll stop sharing links when people stop clicking on them. In other words, I’ll get the message when LessWrong completely vanishes from my blog’s traffic statistics. As it stands… plenty of people still click on my links… so here I am!
