@GKunstwerk @ratlimit Source? every math class I've ever taken has said that positive and non-negative are two different sets because only non-negative contains zero.

@RyanFre46274526 @ratlimit Positive is actually more ambiguous because there's a whole debate over whether zero is a positive number that would cause additional smartassery. Non-zero is precise

@sbjosh02 @atteonthephone 100%, but there's also a similar problem when you resolve a market in a way contrary to how most people interpreted the rules. and canceling the bet and refunding everyone won't solve the problem either. no matter what people will be upset, because the rules weren't clear.

Today in Polymarket fuckups - There is a dispute in the Enhanced Games market. The "YES" side is arguing that the number of world records broken at the Enhanced Games "equals or exceeds" zero. The "NO" side is arguing: "come on, bro". Both arguments have their merit.

@sbjosh02 @atteonthephone ok, but if that was the case 0 should be sold at 100% (or really shouldn't even be a market), the fact it's at 18% clearly indicates most people read the rules as they were intended to be written rather than the way the rules were actually written.

@atteonthephone i dont understand the issue here. these rules arent unclear at all. if there was 3 records broken youre telling me it makes sense for 1, 2, and 3 to resolve to yes but not 0?? what is the argument for that??

@Benthamsbulldog FWIW, I think she’d say something like “climate change is an intersectional issue, so you have to focus on other issues, too” (i.e. to solve climate change, you have to solve racism, sexism, colonialism, ableism, etc).

I think Greta Thunberg's worldview is a bit silly, in that she believes that climate change will kill Earth but decided to shift her activism to other issues.

It really weirds me out that I can now meaningfully race computer programs. There are complex tasks that a computer can do about equally well as me, but I can do them faster.

@EigenGender I saw a post saying that Meta is making workers solve problems in AI to eventually fire them! And how that was evil. Like yes, when I hire a plumber, I'm hiring him so his job can be deleted (for me). But it isn’t like I am stopping him from ever working again.

@ZWildwood I'm a meat-eater but this argument is so fucking dumb, you can say that two different things are both bad without saying that they are equally bad, why do so many people pretend not to get this?

This doesn't make any sense unless you consider the forms of normalized cruelty similar enough in severity, quality, and prominence for a comparison to illustrate something
@ratlimit@ratlimit

@__MarieTherese_ She makes 0 claims about the relative morality of enslaving someone vs. eating meat. Feel free to argue against the claim “One’s participation in normalized cruelty in 2026 predicts whether they would have participated in a cruelty normalized to them in 18XX”, if you like.

@criticofpolecon I don't see the contradiction? yes, you want to be spending more than you are making, but you don't want to be wasting money either, if he was able to balance the budget without cutting any services, because all the debt was from corruption, that is a huge win, no?

The content of Mamdani's budget obviously matters, but I'm sorry it's insane to see people just accept the praise of balanced budgets when DECADES of activism has been spent on arguing AGAINST that. It's really sad to see honestly how much people just wanna win.

At writing club we coined the term 'Markovian literature' for a piece of writing where each new sentence is written only with knowledge of the preceding one. I'd love to try it with you—comment if you'll contribute a sentence and I'll message you what you're continuing from!

@IsaacKing314 trying to preserve personality seems like where you are going wrong, try the thought experiment again without preserving personality.

Many will argue "no that's not the point, it's obvious what we *mean*", but... is it? I've tried to work out a definition of the intended question that somehow preserves personality except for the one trait you want to know about, but it always seems like begging the question.

The "if you were born in [other circumstance]" arguments are interesting because the whole point of this thought experiment is that nurture is the independent variable. Therefore the only thing left to define "you" is nature. But I suspect most supporters of the experiment's validity would not endorse this claim in other contexts.

@MatthewJBar even if you had god like intelligence, how would you cause >$300B in losses from a single attack? you'd have to take down amazon's whole domain for a full 6 months or something.

@joseph_h_garvin I'm not a biologist either, but ok, I see your point. Still though, I don't think either was really doing "alignment" on the other, they likely both had the "goal" of replicating, and could achieve both of their goals better by working together.

@RyanFre46274526 I'm not a biologist so it's hard for me to do more than hand wave here, and I'm not sure anyone knows the evolutionary history in enough detail, but I assume at the time we went from 1 cell to 2 that both were pretty capable still and slowly lost redundant functionality.

What I really want to know is: how did multicellular life solve the alignment problem? Alternatively, why did it not have to solve it?

@joseph_h_garvin a better question would be like, a parent and a child are both agents, how does the parent align the child to their values, or a roomba is a simple agent how did we align roombas to human values. neither of which have much to do with advanced ai though.

@joseph_h_garvin you only have an agent when you have multiple brain cells working together, with new connections between brain cells being able form and with the brain cells being hooked up to sensors like eyes or ears and actuators like muscles.
