This piece of fiction is good sci-fi. It is fun to read and makes you think. In this case, it makes you think about some really important issues in AI safety and AI alignment.
This post improved my understanding of how censorship, polarization, groupthink, etc. work. I also love the slogan "Blatant cherry-picking is the best kind."
This post does what it says in the title. With diagrams! It's not about AI safety or anything, but it's a high-quality explainer on a much-discussed topic, that I'd be happy to link people to.
This post seems like good life advice for me and people like me, when taken with appropriate caution. It's well-written too, of course.
This post raises awareness about some important and neglected problems IMO. It's not flashy or mind-blowing, but it's solid.
I keep thinking about the title (/central claim) of this post. I'm not sure it's true, but it's given me a lot to think about. I think this post is useful for understanding GPT etc.
I'm no ML expert, but thanks to this post I feel like I have a basic grasp of some important ML theory. (It's clearly written and has great graphs.) This is a big deal because this understanding of deep double descent has shaped my AI timelines to a noticeable degree.
I'm fascinated to hear how this went. Well done, Randomsong, and please let us know what happened!
This looks awesome! Can't wait to get mine.
Is there something similar for The Codex? On Amazon I see a physical collection of slatestarcodex essays, but it has poor reviews, saying it's just a scrape of the website without images. Is it even official?
I'm surprised this post didn't get more comments and spark more further research. Rereading it, I think it's both an excellent overview/distillation, and also a piece of strategy research in its own right. I wish there were more things like this. I think this post deserves to be expanded into a book or website and continually updated and refined.
