AI—pet peeves of dealing with people who don’t understand AI
Effective altruism—what do people think about charities spending money to fundraise. I think that if someone knew that $100 out of the $120 they donated was spent on getting the last $20 out of them, before the rest of the overhead, I think they’d quite rightly feel that that wasn’t quite what they had signed up for.
finance—investing in local or distant markets
goals of lesswrong—setting community standards, routines or rituals.
human relationships—poly strategies, innovation vs conformity, long distance relationships
lingustics—optimising information transfer is about making it easy to record information and easy to absorb information from a recorded source. Have we done that yet? Can we make technology do that easier for us?
objectivish—don’t know how it got there but, “when instincts go wrong; like when birds fly into windows”
open—philosphical boogeyman, http://www.rationalitycardinality.com/, debating IRL: the topic of is it ethical to profit off war?, meta:slack, paying out philosophy...
Parenting—dealing with tantrums, strategies about managing kids; treating the problem like an adult one (if an adult stood in a hallway and refused to move; eventually the police would be called to remove them)
philosophy—moral realism, preference utilitarianism, animals as a fraction of the value of a human, Pascal’s mugging...
political talk—update: Australia has a new leader. we talked about history of Australian leadership and stuff.
programming—people asked for guides on programming and ideas for which lanugages to use,
real life—dealing with a death in the family. dealing with the pain of a wisdom tooth operation, discussion of work time from the poll in @adamzerner’s post in the last OT.
resources and links—its a link-dump home for useful posts. i.e. that rationalitycardinality link, a book on NLP, guides to things, some waitbutwhy links...
rss feed—we have an RSS feed of any post on LW or SSC that notifies of posts if you are in the channel.
Science—musk and his silly publicity about blowing up mars. (hit it with a nuke to create an atmosphere or something)
welcome—everyone answers the questions: “Would you like to introduce yourself? Where are you from? What do you do with your time? What are you working on?”
Feel free to join us. Active meetup time: A time to try to get lots of people online to talk about things is going to be chosen soon, probably a 12 hour window or so. (coming sooon)
Edit: we have over 100 people who have signed up. Not nearly that many people are active, but each day something interesting happens...
