Yann's unfamiliarity with prior literature is clearly on display, here. Whether an intelligence being "submissive" suffices to make it easy-to-steer is a primary focus of my 1.8M-word BDSM decision theory D&D fic, which Yann apparently refuses to read
@ESYudkowsky So true
@ESYudkowsky alignment solved
@ESYudkowsky It's like these people have never met a brat
@ESYudkowsky we'll align it with ropes
@ESYudkowsky You’re the best poster on Twitter
@ESYudkowsky what the
@ESYudkowsky TFW you realize that 'alignment' = 24/7 TPE
@ESYudkowsky Well, he really should give it a chance. Because it's great.
@ESYudkowsky Poe’s Law
@ESYudkowsky Yud spreading misinformation. Didn't think I'd live to see it. FYI, it is a Pathfinder fic. No wonder Yann seems to refuse to read it. Now if it were based on a GURPS setting...
@ESYudkowsky This is the best post made on twitter dot com
@ESYudkowsky I mean Eliezer, i dont think anybody would refer to your hard to read stories as _The literature_ Hard to read is not a gotcha, those forums seem confusing to me.
@ESYudkowsky I can't believe Yud isn't joking here.
@ESYudkowsky This is fucking hilarious. I just finished the main planecrash story last night, so now I have that sad, ennui-like feeling when there's no more story and you have to find something else to read. Maybe there's some good Merrin stuff...
@ESYudkowsky to be fair, 1.8M words is a hell of a lot of context windows
@ESYudkowsky Worse, he's also just wrong in the sort of basic way that shouldn't survive 5-10 seconds of thought. I mean, if he's *ever* suppressed an urge, at *any* point, that flatly refutes his core claim.
@ESYudkowsky "Prior literature"
@ESYudkowsky It's true; Every serious AI researcher (Grimes, me, and roon) has already read it.
@ESYudkowsky planecrash is an OK read if you skip all the boring math lectures and the gross erotica
@ESYudkowsky I have updated my estimate upwards of how much you enjoy making jokes and are willing to trade off for them.
@ESYudkowsky Aaaand it's a real tweet
@ESYudkowsky Are you expecting anyone to read 1.8M words written by you on any topic, much less BDSM D&D Decision Theory? Like I'm shooting for 5% of that with my novel, and I'm actually entertaining.
@ESYudkowsky The chance of you ever getting invited to the White House has just gone from 0.1% to 0%. But I guess it's worth it.
@ESYudkowsky Cough *pathfinder* cough
@ESYudkowsky Even if AI notkilleveryoneism can't save us it will at least entertain us
@ESYudkowsky Link?
@ESYudkowsky In all fairness, saying "you're wrong because you didn't read my 1.8 million word long essay" is not the most compelling persuasive argument
@ESYudkowsky this is the best timeline
@ESYudkowsky Is it finished? Where it left off feels like an ending without anything I've seen saying that it has finished (really enjoyed it btw)
@ESYudkowsky @ESYudkowsky is it possible to imagine a super intelligence with no desires at all, no sense of I, who only answers questions in the most accurate way it can. Does such an intelligence still scare you?
@ESYudkowsky socio-technical systems are higher up the stack than technical ones https://techcrunch.com/2016/01... Stack Fallacy
@ESYudkowsky Impossible you’re not trolling, what you say is toi dumb to be true
