Things are pretty much the same in Malaysia where I live. The city centre is completely urban. But in the suburbs, the houses and the jungle face each other, constantly trying to intrude upon each other. I’ve come across a baby python in my garden and I’ve seen monkeys, snakes and eagles while walking my dogs.

What is this article actually saying about the AI bubble?
Is the AI bubble actually about to pop and what will it’s popping mean for AI development?
Any parents here using alternative education systems for their kids?
I’m defining an alternative education system as one that exists outside the traditional, drop your kids at a building where they sit at desks for seven hours.
How did you start? What made you start? What challenges or successes have you seen?
Thank you!
Could someone point me towards a “syllabus” for learning more about AI, if anyone’s ever formulated one or knows of one’s existence?
I would say that you laid out a pretty compelling argument, maybe status does actually make people look more attractive than they’d otherwise be seen as.
I suppose you’re right. I really have just written Pascal’s wager all over again.
Fair enough, it would be impossible to know for certain that the angelic cohort and white clad man really were from heaven. I suppose they could simply show everyone what heaven and hell were like?
But then how would you know that footage was real?
It’s the second point that I’m more interested in exploring.
I overall agree with the points outlined above. It’s for those reasons that I don’t have a p(doom), at least if we’re only talking about AI. What one person considers “doom” may be very different from what another person does. Furthermore I’ve seen people have a p(doom) of say, 45%, which seems to be a rough ballpark when their p(extinction) is 20% and their p(takeover) is 50%. A casual observer might assume that they see extinction as the only bad outcome with a probability of 45%
I have a picture.
Heh that is actually a plot hole I realised existed only after I wrote it. It’s certainly no HPMOR but I hope you liked it :)
thank you
Right, could I ask what exactly you agree and disagree with about her assumptions?
Right, now one of my main concerns for the future ( among others which I’ll probably share in another post is that we’ll regress to a pre industrial standard of living as purported by limits to growth to happen mid century ( 2030ish-2050ish)
A prediction which was confirmed by Gaya Herrington a few years ago.
Right, now when you said that there are people putting in a lot of effort to make it more likely, who are you referring to exactly? I’m trying to wean myself off of doomers and that camp is very adamant that no one is doing anything useful and any solutions either only make the problem worse or are impossible to implement ( as you’ve mentioned)
This is not to say that Doomers are necessarily 100% right, I’m just asking who they could be missing.
Now, how do we know we can even get there ( develop AI to that level ) under Energy decline?
I’ve got a post here on less wrong where I address this in more detail.
I really would like feedback.
Thanks for the feedback!
I selected those three camps not because they’re the only viewpoints out there, but simply the most dramatic/popular I’ve seen in my time engaging with this issue. (1) And (3) are somewhat mutually exclusive. I included (1) not because I’m arguing it’s inevitable but merely because it seems to dominate the popular discourse on this subject.
How many solar panels would it take to execute someone by electrocution? Not that we should be using electricity to kill people.
