  on: Fo­cus Your Uncertainty

  Can someone with knowledge comment on whether the broken AFT critical thinking PDF link went to the document that’s now located here?

  on: “PR” is cor­ro­sive; “rep­u­ta­tion” is not.

  FYI: The link to “The New York Times,” by Robert Rhinehart, appears to be broken. I tried for a few minutes, but didn’t find an alternate.

  on: How it feels to have your mind hacked by an AI

  To what extent can the model’s superficial resemblance to a person be factored out from the fact that it’s hacking you, do you think? For example, a lot of people are familiar with what it feels like to be hacked by an AI from the akrasia they feel about using Facebook less. But Facebook can’t itself be mistaken for a person; it’s more like a distorting lens that shows you versions of already-existing people.

  in reply to: JohnBuridan’s comment on: Con­sider pay­ing for liter­a­ture or book re­views us­ing boun­ties and dom­i­nant as­surance contracts

  Is there some reason not to select the “friends and family” option in the PayPal interface, for contracts like this? I decided to participate just now, and I didn’t seem to be charged for sending money.
