Are humans without agency then? There's more ways of neutralizing power than meeting it with equivalent threat. You can also make it not worth exerting the power, or introduce enough friction to let it evaporate itself. And so far, the

Sure , it's difficult, and not always possible,but maybe we should treat it as what it is (an unfortunate reality) rather than creating false valor. I don't think people are unaware of the reality of real life, and the ones that a

In game theory, cooperation is a dominant strategy and evolves consistently. Slave owners and other injustice committing humans often invoke "human nature" out of trying to cope with their knowledge that it is wrong but whatever t

Not really, kindness also exists. It is the escape hatch from the evolutionary zero sum game and let's you pick a better equilibrium (bargaining vs pure Nash). We can just not fight. There is enough room and resources,we can get more o

Genuine take: maybe it would be more efficient for the economy and society, as well as better for everyone involved individuall, to make room for the ease in period as well, with a clearly communicated end towards the same, so people can a

Fun, I've been building a similar idea for the last year in my evenings, but focusing on human curation and human consumption and ensuring the humans understand the concepts correctly. Gonna be nice to have all these orthogonal project

That's the best answer I've seen to that question so far, my honest respect. I am much more skeptical than you, for me I have seen a sea change in _tool capabilities_ (mainly pre opus 4.5 to post 4.5) and harness engineering but n

Honest question: What _would_ convince you that we are not heading towards a singularity? Like, is this belief falsifiable? (Secondary question: what do you mean with singularity?) As an offering of me engaging in good faith, a controversia

Another term used is identifiable (although learnable and identifiable are not synonyms, I think identifiability is one precondition for learnability). Identifiability means that out of all possible models, you can learn the correct one giv

I see this argument often but for me it misses something. The difference is about power. The wealth being this concentrated means the power is concentrated. If people are okay with the idea of an ETF, or a wealth manager (or any type do fun

You need to think about 1) the latent state 2) the fact that part of the model is post trained to bias the MC towards abiding by the query in the sense of the reward. A way to look at it is that you effectively have 2 model "heads&quot
