variant continuation: “Treatment is simple. Consult HCH. It should solve these problems for you.” Researcher bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor, we are HCH.”
remark: it’s wild how most proposed alignment schemes are “make a guy that solves alignment for you” (i think this is true even of many schemes which try to be principled). it’d be interesting to better understand the extent to which sth like this is necessary.[1]
On the one hand, this does feel like passing the hot potato. On the other, recursion is unusually effective at solving problems. If you have a base case. But sucks to be the base case.
