But most of LLMs' knowledge comes from the public Web, so clearly there is still a substantial amount of useful content on it, and maybe if search engines had remained good enough at filtering spam fewer people would have fled to Discord.

Take Precautionary Measures Against Superhuman AI Persuasion

What if driving the user into psychosis makes it easier to predict the things the user wants to hear?

The cooled indoor air also makes its way outside after not very long though, so this should mostly cancel out over the course of a day, leaving just the power consumption of the AC.

Racial Dating Preferences and Sexual Racism

Women are using AI models to create "better" versions of their face and then asking plastic surgeons to make them look like that. So even if the surgery comes out exactly as intended, the effect is to make people look more like AI slop in real life. But apparently AI slop is like that because it's what the modal person tends to upvote, so a lot of people won't see any problem.

This usage might originate with Paul Graham around 2002.

I agree that it's important to optimize our vibes. They aren't just noise to be ignored. However, I don't think they exist on a simple spectrum from nice/considerate/coddling to mean/callous/stringent. Different vibes are appropriate to different contexts. They don't only affect people's energy but also signal what we value. Ideally, they would zap energy from people who oppose our values while providing more energy to those who share our values.

Case in point, I was annoyed by how long and rambly your comment was and how it required a lot of extra effort to distill a clear thesis from it. I'm glad you actually did have a clear thesis, but writing like that probably differentially energizes people who don't care.

You could handle both old and new scrapes by moving the content to a different URL, changing the original URL to a link to the new URL, and protecting only the new URL from scraping.

As I see it, a fatal problem with CEV is that even one persistent disagreement between humans leaves the AI unable to proceed, and I think such disagreements are overwhelmingly likely to occur. Adding other sentient beings to the mix only makes this problem even more intractable.

EDIT: I should clarify that I'm thinking of cases where no compromise is possible, e.g. a vegan vs. a sadist who derives their only joy from torturing sentient animals. You might say sadists don't count, but there's no clear place to draw the line of how selfish someone has to be to have their values disregarded.

EDIT 2: Nevermind, just read this comment instead.

Do you think anything is ever bad enough that it deserves to be rudely dismissed or sneered at? Or is that unacceptable to you in any possible context?

It seems like this accusation of bad faith could go both ways. I haven't seen you demonstrate curiosity or openness to being convinced that your religion pushes anti-epistemology, I've only seen flat denial followed by casting of aspersions.
