Due to the weather, we’re moving this from Saturday to Sunday. Same time same place.
why not?
I think there can be some parallels to be made between debates on gun control and debates on recent AI regulations
Would be nice to have a website collating people’s public p(doom) statements
Given the name, I imagine this line of research is inspired by model organism research, although I wonder if a simpler “demonstrations of misalignment” could’ve been sufficient/better.

Moloch is “the game”
Asteroid movies probably made people more receptive to x-risk from cosmic collisions
maybe we need a movie about x-risk from misaligned AI? something like Ex Machina and/or Her but with more focus on consequences and less robots
idk could be “counterproductive” too I guess
It has come to my attention he’s on a sabbatical. That’s great, but his activity (tweets, podcasts) don’t suggest the level of detachment from engagement I was imagining
has EY considered taking a break? Like a really long (at least 1 year) vacation where he’s mostly disconnected from AI news and just the world im general. Maybe sail the world or something. Starting to seem like he has given up anyway. Maybe exiting the bubble a bit will allow for new hope (and ideas? motivation?) to form.
“Quote tweeting” this:
Wonder if it’s worth synchronizing my Twitter with LW shortform.
Probably not. I think I will just handpick which tweets I repost here. Plus some shortform exclusives maybe.
is shortform basically just twitter on LW? seems a little like it
thank you for the post! Are you able to share roughly what the interview/hiring process will be like? E.g. how many stages, duration, etc
