Which areas of science or angles of analysis currently seem relevant to the FAI problem, and which of those you’ve studied seem irrelevant? What about those that fall on the “AI” side of things? Fundamental math? Physics?
I think we can take a good guess on the last part of this question on what he will say: Bayes Theorem, Statistics, basic Probability Theory Mathematical Logic, and Decision Theory.
But why ask the question with this statement made by EY:
“Since you don’t require all those other fields, I would like SIAI’s second Research Fellow to have more mathematical breadth and depth than myself.”

My point is he has answered this question before...
I add to this my own question actually it is more of a request to see EY demonstrate TDT with some worked out math on a whiteboard or some such on the video.
