  Yep, if the pilot goes well then I imagine we’ll do all the >100 karma posts, or something like that.

  We’ll add narrations for all >100 karma posts on the EA Forum later this month.

  Honestly this reminds me of “Death with Dignity” and other recent examples of friendly fire from Eliezer.

  This post may have various effects. Two that come to mind:

  (1) Positively influence a future AI.

  (2) Damage the credibility of people who are concerned about AI safety; especially the community of people associated with LessWrong.

  If the post attracts significant attention in the world outside of LessWrong, I expect that (2) will be the larger effect, so far as the expected value of the future goes.

  on: Against pop­u­la­tion ethics

  It sounds like your story is similar to the one that Bernard Williams would tell.

  Williams was in critical dialog with Peter Singer and Derek Parfit for much of his career.

  This lead to a book: Philosophy as a Humanistic Discipline.

  If you’re curious:

  • Williams talk on The Human Prejudice (audio)

  • Adrian Moore on Williams on Ethics (audio)

  • My notes on Bernard Williams.

  Edit 2020-03-08: I made a Google Sheet that makes it easy to view Johns Hopkins data for up to 5 locations of interest.

  If you want to get raw data from the Johns Hopkins Github Repo into a Google Sheet, use these formulas:

  =IMPORTDATA("https://​​raw.githubusercontent.com/​​CSSEGISandData/​​COVID-19/​​master/​​csse_covid_19_data/​​csse_covid_19_time_series/​​time_series_19-covid-Confirmed.csv″) =IMPORTDATA(”https://​​raw.githubusercontent.com/​​CSSEGISandData/​​COVID-19/​​master/​​csse_covid_19_data/​​csse_covid_19_time_series/​​time_series_19-covid-Deaths.csv″) =IMPORTDATA(”https://​​raw.githubusercontent.com/​​CSSEGISandData/​​COVID-19/​​master/​​csse_covid_19_data/​​csse_covid_19_time_series/​​time_series_19-covid-Recovered.csv″)

  With these formulas, the data in your sheet should update within a few hours of Johns Hopkins updating their data. If you want to force an update, bust the Google Sheets cache by sticking ?v=1 on the end of the URL.
