I’m not really aware of any significant progress since 12 years ago. I’ve mostly given up working on this problem, or most object-level philosophical problems, due to slow pace of progress and perceived opportunity costs. (Spending time on ensuring a future where progress on such problems can continue to be made, e.g., fighting against x-risk and value/philosophical lock-in or drift, seems a better bet even for the part of me that really wants to solve philosophical problems.) It seems like there’s a decline in other LWer’s interest in the problem, maybe for similar reasons?
