  I’m not sure the idea of steady progress is so bad as to be net harmful, though.

  You say this and then I don’t understand your explanation. Could you re-explain?

  yes!! “focusing on what you want!” (i talk a little more about this and self-fulfilling prophecies here)

  **aiming** at what you want. vector. (teleology, not etiology)

  Can you think of examples like this in the broader AI landscape? - What are the best examples of self-fulfilling prophecies in AI alignment?

  I don’t feel like I learned anything new from the post.

  This surprises me! Wait so-

  • The “How does one-shotting happen?” section didn’t have anything interesting for you? (Have you seen stuff like this elsewhere?)

  • Did you already know one-shotting was possible?

  since your bullet-point list in the beginning isn’t detailed enough for anyone to try to replicate the method.

  Wait I’m confused- this is not the purpose of the post

  Also notable is that you only have positive examples for your method

  The purpose of this post is not advertisement. It’s to discuss one-shots

  Especially, how would you be able to distinguish between your approach convincing your customers they were helped, instead of actually changing their behavior?

  See above

  Oh I like “patients” (“clients”). I’ll think about the rest, thanks. I’m just not sure how to write anything useful and legible without talking about my own experience and what I have the most data for?

  Also I see the point of your last bullet where “my business” is the subject hm

  any suggestions for how to talk about this stuff without having it read like an advertisement? i’m genuinely interested in the idea of one-shotting and legibilizing evidence that quick growth is possible
