″ …the next year would automatically be composed of approximate copies of today? ”
This one was interesting to me. If you ask how I want to spend the next year my answer involves almost no hedonism, lots of hard work, and a scarily high chance of burn out. But when you phrase it this way my first response is ”...I would try really hard to get laid by the end of the day” and it takes me a second to realize I actually want to accomplish things with that year too.
Possibly has helped me accept that adding more hedonism to my life could be better in the long run.
Edit: After some sleep, the moral I’ve pulled from this experience is “An AI can do much more complicated tasks when the reward function gives incrementally more as progress is made than when it is only rewarded at the finish line. Perhaps humans are similar”
