Tristan’s list of things to write
The comments section of this post contains topics I want to write posts or sequences about. Each idea for a writing topic starts with “ToW”. Feel free to vote or comment on any of my ideas. You may also suggest topics you would like me to write about by adding your own comment starting with “ToW”.
I’ll add comments starting with “WRITTEN” and including a link to the post or sequence.
ToW: Response to “6 reasons why alignment-is-hard discourse...”. I liked this post. I’d like to write out some of my thoughts on it.
ToW: Exploration of simulacrum levels. It feels to me like the situation should be more of an interconnected web thing than discrete levels, but I haven’t thought it through enough yet.
ToW: “Does demanding rights make problem solvers feel insulted?” informal social commentary exploring my thoughts on the relationship between human rights and the systems we employ to ensure standards of human rights can be met.
ToW: Map articulating all talking (Maat) sequence. Current post plan is described in the first post of the sequence.
ToW: Outcome Influencing Systems (OISs) brief explainer.
High level goals and theory of change.
Working definition.
Important properties.
ToW: “Shut up about consciousness”, a rant about how I think “consciousness” distracts from anything I want to talk about, probably including exploration of how OIS terminology is designed to avoid “consciousness” or other religious questions.
ToW: A review and explanation of the more math AI topics (Statistic ML theory, Universal AI, Infrabayes, etc...) targeted at non math audiences.
