i'm thinking of starting a new blog. it would be about some amount of AI/alignment stuff of course, but also about lots of random other things. for instance, some blog post ideas:
hiring pollsters to run deranged survey questions about transhumanism on the average american
rediscovering all of physics since 300 BC by submitting experiments to a grad student who simulates how the experiment would have gone
book review of the lyndon b johnson biography
miscellaneous short fiction about AI but also other things
hosting and then doing postmortems of weird experimental house party ideas (example idea)
thing i need your help with:
i'm looking for ideas of what i could name my blog. by default i'm just going to go with something lame like "lg blog" but I feel like I could do a lot better.
i'm curious to hear which of the ideas you would be most excited to read, so i can prioritize them
Maybe the "Learn Or Get Out" Blog? It's somewhat like your name, but a little aggressive. A quick google shows it's not common or taken. "Learn English or get out!" is a slightly more common phrase, and I like that instead of being xenophobic, the new phrase is about learning generally.
