(I am pretty uncomfortable with all the “Nate / Eliezer” going on here. Let’s at least let people’s misunderstandings of me be limited to me personally, and not bleed over into Eliezer!)

I have probability mass on the hypothesis that I have ideas that could speed up capabilities if I put my mind to it, as is a very different state of affairs from being confident that any of my ideas works. Most ideas don’t work!)

Fwiw, I feel like I have a pretty crisp sense of “Nate and Eliezers communication styles are actually pretty different” (I noticed myself writing out a similar comment about communication styles under the Turntrout thread that initially said “Nate and Eliezer” a lot, and then decided that comment didn’t make sense to publish as-is), but I don’t actually have much of a sense of the difference between Nate, Eliezer, and MIRI-as-a-whole with regards to “the mindset” and “confidentiality norms”.
