Does anyone feel that cryogenics is like a bad lottery? A ticket costs thousands of dollars and the chance to win is unknown. Even worse, if you do ‘win’ it is not clear what you win (your prize: here is a zombie that thinks it is you) or when you win it.

Yes, it has some benefits that normal lotteries don’t. In addition, the ticket price should go down with time and more participants. Maybe the lottery analogy isn’t ideal.
I don’t understand how an AI can do anything secretly like scheming or duplicity. Wouldn’t it be easy to account for all its computations? And wouldn’t the owner of the AI be strongly motivated (financially) to account for all its computations?
Related, wouldn’t the super advanced software tools that help make the AI be pretty good at that point in time—making it very hard for the AI to have unintended goals. Also in this future, the monitoring software the AI’s owner might use would also be near AI level intelligent. In general, it is easier to verify then to formulate so most monitoring software would be especially difficult to thwart.
I expect some answers will be along the lines of hey its super smart so it will trick everyone so to clarify my confusion a bit—I don’t see how the AI will get from super smart to super-duper smart without getting detected.
When I think about it I end up with a bad drake equation for both the ‘win’ and the ‘outcome payoff’. In the drake equation you get to start off with the number of planets in the universe.
When you win is also interesting. Being revived 1 year after death should be worth more then 1m years after death.
All the visions I have been considering have the AI starting at a public cloud like Amazon’s EC2 or some private data center like Google’s. While I am sure there is some slack that an AI could take advantage of, I can’t imagine there is enough slack to do the computations needed for the scheming and duplicity.
If on the other hand, when human and beyond level AI is realized and we find that most personal compute devices are fully capable to perform at that level—then I could see the chance for the scheming AI. Is that a common vision for how this might play out? Are there others?
Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for.
For several years I had lower back pain reoccurring regularly—pulled muscle. I tried the standing desks and it helped but not that much. Then I heard it was due to weak core muscles. Once I started doing the exercises it helped quite a bit. I just did the ones where I was on my back and I did them in bed.
But once I stopped having back pain as often then I stopped doing the exercises. Mainly because the exercises are boring and easy to skip. For the last year I have had luck using the slendertone waist band. It seems to work. I play video games to take my mind off the 30 minutes of discomfort—plus it is positive reinforcement .
edit for clarity
link seems to be up now.
It started around 8 minutes in.
I watch nearly all youtube videos on 2x speed and sometimes wish it would go faster (all video services that don’t have this are evil). If you are right about voice consistency allowing for going even faster that would be awesome. Will just need accurate voice->text to speed it up even more.
Most of the really controversial issues only have 2 sides because any nuanced position you have on the topic will have a side selected by the mob. You don’t really get to pick a side.
In addition to those separations, I wish the argument template could be separated out.
I mean the argument structure. For instance, X implies Y and Y implies Z so showing X is true proves conclusion Z.
Strictly for cost savings wouldn’t you want to target groups that demonstrate good fitness or low heathcare costs? LW’s recent survey questions on health make me think this would be a bad group for it.
Use delayed responses to wean needy people when you think they are abusing your time and helpfulness. For instance, the new guy comes by asking for help getting started but keeps coming by for things he should do himself. You don’t want to be rude but want to stop it. Progression like immediate response->5m->1h->1day has worked for me with email.
Delayed response is also great to cool off heated discussions.
I was looking at this article as a starting point. I end up at either error theory or non-cognativism. Is there value in reading further down the tree or would it be like learning more phlogiston theory (at least for me)?
Public voting and public scoring
I am sure this has been debated here before but I keep dreaming of it anyway. Let’s say everyone’s upvotes and downvotes were public and you could independently score posts using this data with your own algorithm. If the algorithms to score posts were also public then you could use another users scoring algorithm instead of writing your own (think lesswrong power-user).
As a simple example, lets say my algorithm is to average the score of user_Rational and user_Insightful and user_Rational algorithm is just lesswrong regular score minus User_troll’s votes.
The benefits would be a better curated garden, more users, and more discussion.

I agree there still would be very easy ways to punish enemies or even more common ‘friends’ that don’t toe the line.
I do think it would identify some interesting cliques or color teams. The way I envision using it would be more topic category based. For instance, for topic X I average this group of peoples opinions but a different group on topic Y.
On the positive side, if you have a minority position on some topic that now would be downvoted heavily you could still get good feedback from your own minority clique.
Nothing is required that I know of. Here is a video. At the bottom right there is the settings icon—gear shaped. Speed is an option.
I have seen on a small minority of videos the option wasn’t present in settings however researching on the title can sometimes get a link to a video that is.
I normally use chrome. But I did see the problem with IE. IE is using the default video player. You want to use the htlm5 player.
