This is a post that’s stayed with me since it was published. The title is especially helpful as a handle. It is a simple reference for this idea, that there are deeply confusing philosophical problems that are central to our ability to attain most of the value we care about (and that this might be a central concern when thinking about AI).
It’s not been very close to areas I think about a lot, so I’ve not tried to build on it much, and would be interested in a review from someone who thinks in more detail about these matters more, but I expect they’ll agree it’s a very helpful post to exist.
