On YouTube, @Evbo’s parkour civilization and PVP civilization drama movies, professionally produced, set in Minecraft, and half-parody of YA dystopia serves as a surprisingly good demonstration of Instrumental Convergence (the protagonist kills or bribes most people they meet to “rank up” in the beginning), and non-human morality (the characters basically only care about the Minecraft activity of their series, without a hint of irony).

 I think using existing non-AI media as an analogy for AI could be helpful, because people think that a terminator-like ASI would be robots shooting people, one of the reasons why a common suggestion for unaligned AI is to just turn it off, pour water on the servers, etc.

Oh definitely - I don’t think this is practical advice for traffic designers

I wonder whether legalizing and reducing penalties for drug use is causal for property crime - drug addicts famously do theft to get substances.

Is there a way to learn this language? I imagine it would be much more difficult for beginners to have to understand an arbitrary tree structure than individual words

As ads are made to encourage people to vote, and some people are more or less concerned about voting, each addition ad dollar has a lower effect.

A hypothetical $10m in ads could get 85% of x voters, and $8m could get 70%, but $2m would get 50% and $0m would get 25%, so the 8:10m in funding would be preferential to the 0:2m.

One issue is that $10m of ads for one party and $8m in ads for the other is not equivalent to $2m in just one, as most ads aren’t for getting people to switch sides, but to just attend at all.

No, it is not obvious. That is what my comment meant, that the statistic is unclear

>Further, the SAT used to be much harder. In 1991, only nine students scored a 1600, whereas people estimate that over 500 students achieve a perfect score today.

What do these numbers mean? Surely more than 500 students have achieved a 1600 last year
