Think you have a good AI alignment plan? Prove it!
Build some lower stakes mass influence system, like a social media platform, which implements your plan. If it is more engaging and more pro-social, then your plan will be worth looking at. No powerful AI should be deployed until the alignment plan can pass this basic test.
Alignment plans need to deal with the fundamental divide between machines doing what we tell them to do and machines doing what we want them to do. Any proposal that can address this problem can not be limited to a particular machine architecture. Thus, it should be able to be... (read more)
The reviews on CryAnalyzer at least are pretty bad. I think we may still have a long way to go
I am a 2 on the Aphantasia scale, so I can't create photo realistic images in my head, but I can envision detailed enough phenomena in order to build a Memory Palace from time to time, I am out of practice now. I really only started learning history long after I stopped using such technique, not that I ever really used them extensively anyway. I found a better way to remember things was just to find them actually interesting, on some level or for some purpose. When it comes to history I find I structure things in terms of interweaving narratives. Events A and B happen begetting event C, and so on. Since I have found a way to find such events interesting my brain just keeps track of how one feeds into another, no scaffolding required.
I dont know if any of that helps, but I hope so

My point in this post also rest on me not having seen particular versions of the story of science in the wild as well as repeated encounters with people seeming uncomfortable with the more abstract components of science. YMMV.
When the story of science is relayed it is often in terms of the development of that body of knowledge. We celebrate milestones of understanding like Galileo and Heliocentrism, Newton and Universal Gravitation, and Darwin and Evolution by Natural Selection.
An alternative story that is sometimes told is that of science as social activity and the role... (read 576 more words →)
