If the initial grant goes well, do you give funding at the market price for their labor?

That seems mostly like you don't feel (at least on a gut level) that a rogue GPU cluster in an world where there's an international coalition banning them is literally worse than a (say) 20% risk of a full nuclear exchange.

If instead, it was a rogue nation credibly building a nuclear weapon which would ignite the atmosphere according to our best physics, would you still feel like it was deranged to suggest that we should stop it from being built even at the risk of a conventional nuclear war? (And still only as a final resort, after all other options have been exhausted.)

I can certainly sympathize with the whole dread in the stomach thing about all of this, at least.

I was thinking that "either it's there or it's not" as applied to a conscious state would imply you don't think consciousness can be in an entangled state, or something along those lines.

But reading it again, it seem like you are saying consciousness is discontinuous? As in, there are no partially-conscious states? Is that right?

I'm also unaware of a fully satisfactory ontology for relativistic QFT, sadly.

Maybe the "muddled" react should be renamed to "confused", with the intentional ambiguity as to whether the idea itself seems confused or the reactor just found it confusing because they misunderstood something.

I'd really like to be able to see all the reactions at once, if possible.

I think the "I agree to this" react should simply be labeled "Handshake".

Also, a react to indicate that this comment should have been split into multiple comments might be nice (like you may think this comment should have :p).

If something has an observer-independent existence, then for all possible states, either it's there or it's not.

Should I infer that you don't believe in many worlds?

What specific reasons do you have to take them seriously?

Of course this necessitates HAVING other eggs, which we already established are in short supply. But thankfully, those other eggs don't need to come from the same woman. You can get donor eggs without too much trouble. And if you don’t care much about the donors' DNA you can get them for quite a bit less money.

So twiblings using donor eggs would still have mitochondrial DNA from the donor, right?

That... seems like a big part of what having "solved alignment" would mean, given that you have AGI-level optimization aimed at (indirectly via a counter-factual) evaluating this (IIUC).

Do you know exactly how strongly it favors the true (or equivalent) structure?
