We may have the funniest slack of all companies

@patio11 In some sense this shouldn't matter because these policies would often be positive expected utility even if they were negative expected value. But it may matter to some, so.

A relevant fact to some of @patio11's readers: these policies can be positive-EV to you if you simply keep paying your premium. Oversimplifying, this is possible because many other policyholders will stop paying, and insurers account for this in pricing.

@reneromero08 @tszzl "Almost all of the benefits of superintelligence will be captured by the public" and "trillions of dollars' worth of benefits from superintelligence will be captured by the labs" are compatible claims.

@tszzl Do you not see how this contradicts the "this isn't a bubble" narrative? If "it's being commodified" why would shareholders and investors expect more in returns?

renaissance rationalization is a process that commodified itself rapidly: despite the europeans discovering most technology during the early modern period it spread everywhere within a few centuries, and the rate of spread has been increasing dramatically knowledge of the scientific frontier dissipates around the world faster as science has enabled better communication technologies. it’s getting even faster with INTELLIGENCE technologies which actually explain themselves and help you build them as we approach more powerful intelligence, the ability to train powerful models is self commodifying rather than building a huge and runaway advantage for a handful of recursive self improvers. this is one reason why you should expect almost all of the benefits of superintelligence to be captured by the public
