Noticed my meagre knowledge of classical physics driving intuitions behind some of my alignment thinking (e.g. “work done by an optimisation process”[1]).
Wondering how much insight I’m leaving on the table for lack of physics knowledge.
[1] There’s also an analogous concept of “work” done by computation, but I don’t yet have a very nice or intuitive story for it, yet.
Need to learn physics for alignment.
