Might be worth including the Amazon.co.uk and other store links.

I want to say no purely because of my default suspicion of anyone offering me a free vacation.
In general collecting data is cheap and we’re getting better at sorting and using it, so bias towards collecting data
Also focus on developing skills in areas unlikely to be automated anytime soon
Personally I was surprised so amny cis people strongly identified with their gender
[tpical mind etc...]
All hail!
Do you have any plans for changes?
I’ve managed to partly transmute my “I want to buy that now” impulse into sending a sample to my kindle. Then if I never get past the first few pages I’ve not actually spent any money, if I reach the end of the sample and still want to continue I know I’m likely to keep going .
I find I often pickup mindsets and patterns of thought from from reading fiction or first person non-fiction. E.g. I’m a non-sociopath, but I noticed thought patterns more simlar when reading “Confessions of a Sociopath”
I figure this may be a useful way to hack myself towards positive behaviours. Can anyone reccomend fiction that would encourage high productivity mindsets?
[Meta] I often see threads like this where people recommend things that require a very high level of conscientiousness or planning ability to start with, (e.g. if you are tired in the mornings get out of bed immediately and do x, requirs you to be capable of forcing yourself to do x when you are tired.)
Using terms that I picked up here which are not well known, or mean different things in different contexts
Also, I sometimes over pattern match arguments and concepts I’ve picked up on Lesswrong to other situations, which can result in trying to condescendingly explain something irrelevant.
Yeah, I’ve had people complain about the standard basilisk and weird AI speculation stuff. Also the association with neoreactionaries, sexists and HBD people.
What incentive does the future AI have to do this once you’ve already helped it?
alternatively sell empty boxes labelled “Don’t look!”
If it decreases the number of people who take you seriously and therefore learn bout the substance of your ideas its a bad strategy
Yeah that would be a much better response. Or alternatively get someone who is more suited to PR to deal with this sort of thing
Does MIRI have a public relations person? They should really be dealing with this stuff. Eleizer is an amazing writer but he’s not particularly suited to addressing a non-expert crowd
That response in /r/futurology is really good actually, I hadn’t seen it before. Maybe it should be reposted (with the sarcasm slightly toned down) as a main article here?
Also kudos to Eleizer for admitting he messed up with the original deletion.
Wy is that the “main” damage? I’d agree mmale appearance standards have also changed, but generic western society values women on their appearance more than men so you’d expect the psychological impat to be larger.
Maybe he’s secretly a creationist, its unlikely but it would be more interesting/controversial than he standard internet contrarian ideas.
