Eliezer wrote once that he wants to teach a little tiibaism to other FAI designers, so they’re less likely to tile the world with smileys. He is an influential person among FAI designers, so perhaps he’ll succeed at this. His book will probably be popular among AI programmers, who are the people who matter. And if he doesn’t, he’ll be the only tiibaist in the world working on a problem that suffers atiibaism poorly. So yes, teaching people how to properly exploit their hundred billion neurons can actually save the world.
Of course, if politicians or judges or advice columnists become more tiibal, that’s great. I expect, however, that Eliezer will most influence people who already think he’s got something good to say.
(This post assumes that many of Eliezer’s fans are AI programmers. But is that true? How many AI programmers are reading this post?
Tiiba, tiibaism, tiibaist, atiibaism and tiibal. More specifically I was wondering whether your use thereof in places where some would use derivatives of ‘rational’ was making a particular statement about possible misuse of said word or were perhaps making a reference to a meme that I have not been exposed to. Also, I was slightly curious as to whether you were using words like ‘desquires’ just to be a d@#$ or whether it was more along the lines of good natured quirkiness. So I know whether to banter or block.
All right, all right. I tried to make myself look rational by defining rationality so that I would have it by definition.
I’m not sure how saying “desquires” makes or can make me a dathashdollar, but I assure you that I hold no malice for anyone. Except people who make intrusive advertising. And people who mis-program traffic lights. And people who make DRM. And bullies. And people who embed auto-starting music in their Web pages. And people who eat chicken.
Tiiba is the name of a fairly low-level demon from the anime Slayers. He was imprisoned by the wizard-priest Rezo in a body that looks like an oversized chicken. He stuck in my mind after I read a fanfic where he appeared, briefly but hilariously.

Ok, Tiiba is evidently significant enough to you to inspire your name… but what the? I’m confused.
What desquires clarifaction?

Oh, that’s likely to be in TVTropes then… (Hint!)
Yeah, my googling took me to a TV trope page. Something about an Anime demon chicken. Was it an especially rational demon chicken?
By chicken standards, I guess so.
The “D” and “S” keys are close to the “R” …?
I think the question was “what heck is Tiiba”?
