Scarcity mindset is counterproductive in many contexts, but appropriate for avoiding shortages of medical equipment.
The Plan
Hmm, it could be possible. What if the tree network is the true home of a Navi’s mind? Wirelessly controlling a Navi body is possible, since that’s what the main character does. After body death, the mind doesn’t move to the tree network, it just stays there. Perhaps it wasn’t so hard for humans to invent the avatars, since it’s close to the natural function of the species. Perhaps the Navi have very small brains, which added to human biologists’ disdain & racism, not realizing that most of their neurology is hosted remotely.
Splitting the Sun Equally
I could see myself trying to build a friendship with the other person … & certainly talking about escape. I guess a notable LLM trait is that they’re more comfortable in such environments. For me, the similarity to No Exit would creep me out.
Yeah you can find a variety. Oh & also check out megagames & large murder-mystery parties—those are overlapping concepts with different names & more strategic emphasis.
The LARP subculture does a lot of fun things like this, altho with less complex rules than Dr Palmer’s class.
‘Inventing the Renaissance’ Review
Thanks for organizing this!
I find this parenthetical confusing because it sounds broader than how i expected ‘false positive’ to be defined:
> a 8% false-positive rate (it returns positive 8% of the time even if cancer is absent)
2024 Review: I disagree with the premise that long timelines are unlikely BUT i think this post is fairly sane & sober, given that premise.
BTW, i put together a timeline of concrete predictions in AI 2027, for anyone keeping an eye on them as we enter next year: https://alexpear.github.io/pages/ai-2027.html
As Cole Wyeth said, the 2025 predictions were not radical (in other words, they were good predictions), but the 2026 ones anticipate very extreme productivity gains.

My spelling peculiarities:
I prefer not to capitalize the pronoun i.
I prefer to always use a instead of an.
I avoid gendered words. Eg i use steelmind/strawmind instead of steelman/strawman.
Sure, but the same incentive applies to fire departments & hospitals. Many organizations get their funding exclusively from harmful events. And even if firefighters have a (weak) incentive against fire safety, they couldn’t stop us from practising it anyway.
