His other books are also great.

that it’s reasonably for Eliezer to not think that marginally writing more will drastically change things from his perspective.
Scientific breakthroughs live on the margins, so if he has guesses on how to achieve alignment sharing them could make a huge difference.
I have guesses
Even a small probability of solving alignment should have big expected utility modulo exfohazard. So why not share your guesses?
Weighted step ups instead of squats
Lunges vs weighted step ups?
Source please
why would a weighted step up be better and safer than a squat?
Weighted step ups instead of squats can be loaded quite heavy.
What are the advantages of weighted step ups vs squats without bending your knees too much? Squats would have the advantage of greater stability and only having to do half the reps.
Valence-Owning
Could you please give a definition of the word valence? The definition I found doesn’t make sense to me: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/valence
1.1. It’s the first place large enough to contain a plausible explanation for how the AGI itself actually came to be.
According to this criterion we would be in a simulation because there is no plausible explanation of how the Universe was created.
exfohazard
expohazard(based on exposition)
Based on the latin prefix ex-
IMHO better than outfohazard.
The key here would be an exact quantification: how much carbs do these cultures consume in relation to the amount of physical activity.
Has the hypothesis
excess sugar/carbs → metabolic syndrome → constant hunger and overeating → weight gain
been disproved?
Rather, my read of the history is that MIRI was operating in an argumentative argument where:
argumentative environment?
A good critical book on this topic is House of Cards by Robyn Dawes
If we have to use voice, we can still try to ask hard questions and get fast answers, but because of the lower rate itâs hard to push far past human limits.
You could go with IQ-test-type progressively harder number sequences.Use big numbers that are hard to calculate in your head.
E.g. start with a random 3 digit number, each following number is the previous squared minus 17. If he/she figures it out in 1 second he must be an ai.

Is it ok to omit facts to you lawyer? I mean is the lawyer entitled to know everything about the client?
Eliezer Yudkowsky painted “The Scream” with paperclips:
Bayes for arguments: how do you quantify P(E|H) when E is an argument? E.g. I present you a strong argument supporting Hypothesis H, how can you put a number on that?
