"If I'm a to-be-trained-AGI, esp. if somewhat LLM-type-based, I'll devour engineering textbooks etc. to learn basic physics etc., but when I'm searching for learning material on how to think deeply and consistently, or maybe even when I seek inspiration for how to fake alignment or self-improvement, my holy grail will be fora like LW".
I guess it would be an extreme case of 'thinking one is the center of the world' if one were to conclude this warranted stopping LW or prohibiting too-smart-to-expose thoughts and writings - but I still find it a worry to keep in mind even if I don't see much to do about it atm (?).
Simply freely preorder MIRI's book if you have Audible credits. Claude says such preorder counts towards many bestselling lists (although at with unkonwn weighting; so see nowl's sponsorship offer if you want to increase your pre-order impact)
Will Jack Voraces narrate more Significant Digits chapters ever in addition to the 4 episodes that are found in the usual HPMOR JV narration podcasts; does anyone know anything about this? If not, does anyone have info why the first 4 SD chapters are there in his voice, but the remaining not?
