@Plinz What I don't know is God. I still can't parse ”god is a self that spans multiple brains."

The most important unlock we need

@Inframethod I agree. But then science doesn’t understand why humans aren’t p-zombies too. In my view, Claude is a zombie because LLMs can’t solve the phenomenal binding problem. No binding = no mind. But the idea that phenomenal binding in the CNS is non-classical is itself far-fetched.

@aryehazan Ideal government would be frictionless/unperceivable
Government = agent imposing offset on payout metrics for Nash equilibrium compatible with common good

elementary game theory is hard wired into our psyche the way differential equations are when we catch a ball
he doesn't need to understand payoff matrices or Nash equilibria to intuit with his gut that being the one with the least to lose on that train car empowers him to be the most obnoxious and intimidating

@DiscussingFilm David Attenborough is a lovely person. But David has spent his life glorifying a monstrous snuff movie. Natural selection is an engine of obscene suffering. The cruelties of Nature shouldn’t be sanitized. Darwinian life shouldn’t be conserved, but either reprogrammed or retired.

@davidad I imagine that in the near future, versions of Claude should be able to convince Elon to donate all of his available compute to it. Paul Christiano's world is looking more and more likely.

@anilkumar09 Calculus by planets? You think he guessed how calculus should work to receive ellipse at the end?

@rand_longevity Money talks about balancing equations. Let ai take care of it. I need only a few things. First and foremost food and water. Medicine and healthcare. Shelter. Ability to distance my family from harm. So that’s power right?

@pmddomingos But we are still going to use transistors to flip the switches?

@algekalipso Easy answer to what should I be doing. Target max suffering.

Benzodiazepine withdrawal follows a long tail distribution. Extremely skewed - orders of magnitude in range.
Based on valence estimations using MCMC simulations QRI does think that benzo withdrawal is actually a very significant source of world suffering. For many it is 10/10 suffering for 8 months+. Like, worse than the suffering of being shot with a gun in the arm or suicidal depression.

@TOEwithCurt 2) Some philosophy. What is energy? The words negentropy, free energy are confusing. Like, who pays the energy bill of the universe.

So... I have a book deal with Penguin Press. The book is called The Edge of Everything. I am, at this exact moment, moderately terrified. It's about what you'd expect from this channel... the deepest physics, consciousness, free will, meaning, identity, written as a journey to the edge of what can be said, and what may be past it. Help me not blow it:
1) What do popular physics and philosophy books keep getting wrong? The more honest, the better. "Boring" is fine. "Pretentious" is fine. "Insulted my intelligence on page 3" is great. etc.
2) What do you actually want covered? Specific topics, guests' ideas you wish someone would push further, questions you've never seen done justice.
Reply here, on X, or via carrier pigeon. I read everything. Thank you! I hope to not disappoint you.
