Thank you for doing this. Would you mind if this is added to the Misalignment Database?
″ For the most part, Roko’s posts not only fail to engage with any scientific literature on the subject, but employ an extremely naive and ultimately misleading model that does not hold up to empirical and theoretical scrutiny. ”
Can be applied generally.
Been doing this. Reading less. Writing a LOT less. Memory has improved a lot.

The alienation is something I felt for a bit, until I started working on my project and working with folk, talking to folk, etc. Also, been very pleasantly surprised how receptive non AI/non-tech folk are when talking to them about AI risk, as long as it’s framed in a down to earth, relatable manner, introduced organically, etc.
I disagree with this now.
I think a lot of people think Sydney/Bing Chat is GPT 4
Human can manipulate animals and make them do what they want. So could AI

Sounds like you lack understanding of people.
Or they’re desperate. And/or don’t trust themselves to be ok if the idea fails.
“mistrust” is not the best approach here. Mistrusting yourself or your ideas can lead to misery and feeling lackadaisical. Could lead to lacking motivation to pursue an idea as hard as you otherwise might.
“Openness” is a better idea imo. Openness to the idea failing or taking some adjustment to reach success, openness to it succeeding as well. Looking at ideas not just as a way to achieve success, but test the view you have on the world, a way to learn something new about the world through testing it and working on it.
Is trying to reduce internet usage and maybe reducing the amount of data AI companies have to work with something that is at all feasible?
Any reason not to just run the experiment?
