Set up two bitcoin wallets, transfer funds from one to the other, and put your hash in the message field.
The bitcoin blockchain is both immutable and public, making it an ideal medium for sealed predictions. While the LW servers might be compromised, there are game-theoretic guarantees that the blockchain won’t be.
Much of why my priors say that the e/acc thing is organic is just my gestalt impression of being on Twitter while it was happening. Unfortunately, that’s not a legible source of evidence to people-who-aren’t-me. I’ll tell you what information I do remember, though:
“Bitalik Vuterin” does not ring a bell, I don’t think he was a very consequential figure to begin with.
@BasedBeffJezos claims to be the same person as @BasedBeff, and claims that he was locked out of his @BasedBeff account on 2022-08-08 due to “misinformation”, which he attributes to “blue checkmarks and scared EAs”.
I’m only like 85% certain about this claim, but I think @bayeslord made an “I quit” thread where he claimed that he was actually kinda sympathetic to EA all along, and e/acc was more of a joke, or maybe that it was actually meant to strengthen EA by red-teaming it. I’m even less certain about this next claim (~55%), but I think he mentioned getting an overwhelming amount of DMs from EAs trying to debate him.
I’m Twitter mutuals with some of these e/acc people. I think that its founders and most (if not all) of its proponents are organic accounts, but it still might be a good idea to not signal-boost them.
True, but I endorse the “zero-effort” plan because it destroys trivial inconveniences.
I’ve also read that the definition of “high-dimensional” is relative to the number of data points you have in your dataset, such that “high-d” means
dimsis greater[1] thann, “low-d” meansnis greater[1:1] thandims, and “medium-d” means the two are of similar magnitude.However, this would mean that much of modern machine learning is done on “low-dimensional” data, which is absurd.
I don’t work for OpenAI. I just saw Sam Altman tweet this post, so I linkposted it here.
OpenAI’s Alignment Plans
There are about 2 to 5 steps, each with a due diligence procedure, in order to manipulate reality in any way with crypto, or even to transfer from a “niche” crypto it a more widely-used one such as ETH.
Nitpick: with Uniswap (or another DEX), you can convert your niche crypto to ETH without a due diligence/KYC check.
Bootstrapped SaaS starting from AWS’ free tier? Substack?
Strongly recommend Coup.
I argue that all organisms suffer from rot. There is thermodynamic lower bound on rot. The larger & more complex the organism is the more rot. I argue that biological life solves this fundamental problem by a bounded-error lifecycle strategy.
The germline doesn’t rot, though. Human egg and sperm-producing cells must maintain (epi-)genomic integrity indefinitely.
You could post a research bounty on this site.
Agreed. Maybe the blocker here is that LW/EA people don’t have many contacts in public policy, and are much more familiar with tech.
Adderall works.
Even more obviously, why do aliens adhere to the IEEE 754 standard? My interpretation is that the cryptanalyst from the post has indeed been pranked by their friend at NASA.
Replicated!
How much gain do you think is actually available for someone who is still limited by human tissue brain performance and just uses the best available consistently winning method?
Quite a bit.
Has anyone tried a five-dimensional representation instead of a two-dimensional one? 2095 isn’t divisible by 2 or by 3, but it is divisible by 5. Maybe our “aliens” have four spatial dimensions and one temporal.
