Michael Nielsen’s recent substack note on why he dislikes so much writing about ethical systems reminded me of Rudolf’s vibes decision theory
VDT (Vibe Decision Theory) says: take the decision associated with the best vibes.
Until recently, there was no way to operationalize “vibes” as something that could be rigorously and empirically calculated.
However, now we have an immaculate vibe sensor available: Claude-3.5-Sonnet-20241022 (nicknamed “Claude 3.5 Sonnet (New)” and retroactively renamed “Claude 3.6″).
VDT says to take the action that Claude 3.6 would rate as having “the best vibes”.
