This Shit Rationalists Say video kinda seems like a good way of giving a smart person who isn’t themself a rationalist and idea of what rationalists are like.
Yes, the non-rationalist won’t understand all of the lingo, but they’ll understand some, and I feel like they’d pick up on a lot of vibes. I think the facts that it’s using the medium of video + audio as opposed to text and that it is a fire hose of data points work in it’s favor.
Wow, that video was thirteen years ago! I wonder how that list of catchphrases should be updated for today. Most of what comes to my mind is directly related to AI progress since then.
I think there’s probably a bunch of non AI related things that just hadn’t been mentioned in the original brainstorming. Stuff like “have you considered building a lumenator?”
