Was “LessWrong” always meant as a gradient descent pun?
Did Eliezer (or whoever coined the name) intentionally choose it as an implicit machine learning reference? Or is this just a case of convergent evolution between model optimization and rationality?
It’d be approximately equally funny either way, so I’m not sure which outcome I prefer.
