I’m generally confused by the notion that Buddhism entails suppressing one’s emotions. Stoicism maybe, but Buddhism?
Buddhism is about what to do if one has no option but to feel one’s emotions.

How is that mutually exclusive with (1)?
Am I correct in assuming you don’t think one should give the money in the counterfactual mugging?
I don’t know what the first part of your comment is trying to say. I agree that counterfactual mugging isn’t a thing that happens. That’s why it’s called a thought experiment.
I’m not quite sure what the last paragraph is trying to say either. It sounds somewhat similar to an counter-argument I came up with (which I think is pretty decisive), but I can’t be certain what you actually meant. In any case, there is the obvious counter-counter-argument that in the counterfactual mugging, the agent in the heads branch and the tails branch are not quite identical either, one has seen the coin land on heads and the other has seen the coin land on tails.
I came up with an argument for alignment by default.
In the counterfactual mugging scenario, a rational agent gives the money, even though they never see themselves benefitting from it. Before the coin flip, the agent would want to self-modify to give the money to maximize the expected value, therefore the only reflectively stable option is to give the money.
Now imagine instead of a coin flip, it’s being born as one of two people: Alice, who wants to not be murdered for 100 utils, and Bob, who wants to murder Alice for 1 utils. As with the counterfactual mugging, before you’re born, you’d rationally want to self-modify to not murder Alice to maximize the expected value.
What you end up with is basically morality (or at least it is the only rational choice regardless of your morality), so we should expect sufficiently intelligent agents to act morally.
Sounds like synesthesia
I fear that, while it might be a good idea to discourage LSD, it would make things even worse to discourage transitioning.
Highly Advanced Epistemology 101?
probably doesn’t change much, but janus’ claude generated comment was the first mention of claude acting like a base model on LW
It ought to be a top-level post on the EA forum as well.
Well that’s because it’s meant to be quantifying over linear equations. and are not meant to be replaced but and are.
i is often used as an index in math, similar to how it is used as an index in for loops.
What would an event optimized for this sort of thing look like?
Why not generate it after it’s posted publically?
Aaaa! I’m used to Arial or whatever Windows’ default display font is. The larger stroke weight is rather uncomfortable to me.
Yarvin was not part of the CCRU. I think Land and Yarvin only became associates post-CCRU.
Maybe make a post on the EA forum?
It seems like if the SCP hypothesis is true, block characters should cause it to act strangely.
Does it not have any sort of metadata telling you where it comes from?
My only guess is that some of it is probably metal lyrics.
I made a Manifold market for how many pre-orders there will be!
