As a true-born Dutchman I endorse Crocker's rules.

Does the appriopriate [soft] reference class scale with intersimulizability of agents?
i.e. generally greater more computationally powerful agents are better at simulating other agents and this will generically push towards the regime where FDT gives a larger reference class.
The asymptote would be some sort of acausal society of multiverse higher-order cooperators.
Fwiw I've found Said's comments to be clear, crisp and valuable. I don't recall being ever annoyed by his comments and found him a most useful bloodhound for bad epistemic practices and rhetorics. Many cases that Said's comment is the only good, clear, and crisp critic of vagueposting and applauselighting.
The examples in this post don't seem compelling at all. One of the primary examples seems to be Duncan who comes off [from a distance] as thin-skinned and obscurantist, emotionally blowing up at very fair criticism.
Despite my disagreement I endorse Habryka unilaterally taking these kinds of decisions and approve of his transparency and conduct in this matter.
Farewell, lesswrong gadfly. You will be missed.
Agreed. The primary thing Solomonoff induction doesn't take into account is computational complexity/ compute. But... you can simply include a reasonable time-penalty and most of the results mostly go through. It becomes a bit more like logical inductors.
Solomonoff induction also dovetails (hah) nicely with the fact that next-token prediction was all you need for intelligence.[1]
well almost, the gap is exactly AIXI
MIRI lost the Mandate of Heaven smh
Oh wild. It's clearly propaganda. But also incredibly valuable information. itsThe West would so well to listen carefully to what adversaries are saying. They are certainly listening carefully to us!
Thanks for the alert Thomas. Subscribed.
What does Gemini say? Seems like a perfect set of questions to ask a modern LLM.
