If you don’t think there’s anything you missed, that means you won’t look for anything you missed.
That’s how echo chambers happen.
(Look how few sentences were needed to communicate that. Incredible.)
This entire community relies on tautological posturing to protect itself from uncomfortable criticisms… But communicating efficiently is the skill needed to slow AI development and rein in existential risks. Using many big words to call people stupid won’t cut it. If you can’t figure out how to do this, that means you DO need LLM assistance. But to get it, you’d have to stop asking it to simplify your concepts and think in terms of translation instead.
Try consensus.app to find the data I referenced. Because if you can think having ADHD means you understand the limitations and advantages of everyone who has ADHD, you don’t know nearly enough about psychology or human bias. The placebo effect owns you, and it’s using your intellectual narcissism as a leash.
Make sure you phrase your inquiry to disprove your own priors. Active auto-skepticism the only way to self-reflect appropriately, counteract bias, and arrive at truer conclusions.
I think “intellectual narcissism” describes you better than I, given how convinced you are that anyone who disagrees with you must have something wrong with them.
As I already told you, I know how LLMs work, and have interacted with them extensively. If you have evidence of your claims you are welcome to share it, but I currently suspect that you don’t.
Your difficulty parsing lengthy texts is unfortunate, but I don’t really have any reason to believe your importance to the field of AI safety is such that its members should be planning all their communications with you in mind.
Consensus.app is a search engine. If you had evidence to hand you would not be directing me to a search engine. (Even if you did, I’m skeptical it would convince me; your standards of evidence don’t seem to be the same as mine, so I’m not convinced we would interpret it in the same way).
Having ADHD makes me well-qualified to observe that it does not give you natural aptitude at systems engineering. If you’re good at systems engineering, that’s great, but it’s not a trait inherent to ADHD.
Evidence for the placebo effect is very bad. I shared two posts which explained at length why the evidence for it is not as good as popularly believed. The fact that you have not updated on them leads me to think negatively of your epistemics.
I agree that it’s good to be skeptical of your beliefs! I don’t think you’re doing that.
