Normally we just chat about whatever comes up. Past topics of conversation have included AI alignment, what you’d tell your past or future self, collaborative disagreement, calibrating personal predictions (how to measure and improve your own predictions), decision theory (Newcomb’s paradox, Parfit’s hitchhiker, etc), miscellaneous tech stuff (web3, GPT3, etc), animal husbandry (how to flip a goat, and why), and much much more.
