If this was true, how could we tell? In other words, is this a testable hypothesis?

What reason do we have to believe this might be true? Because we're in a world where it looks like we're going to develop superintelligence, so it would be a useful world to simulate?

From the latest Conversations with Tyler interview of Peter Thiel

I feel like Thiel misrepresents Bostrom here. He doesn’t really want a centralized world government or think that’s "a set of things that make sense and that are good". He’s forced into world surveillance not because it’s good but because it’s the only alternative he sees to dangerous ASI being deployed.

I wouldn’t say he’s optimistic about human nature. In fact it’s almost the very opposite. He thinks that we’re doomed by our nature to create that which will destroy us.

Three questions:

1. What format do you upload SAEs in?
2. What data do you run the SAEs over to generate the activations / samples?
3. How long of a delay is there between uploading an SAE and it being available to view?

This is fantastic. Thank you.

Thanks! I added a note about LeCun's 100,000 claim and just dropped the Chollet reference since it was misleading.

Thanks for the correction! I've updated the post.

I assume the 44k PPM CO2 exhaled air is the product of respiration (I.e. the lungs have processed it), whereas the air used in mouth-to-mouth is quickly inhaled and exhaled.

What's your best guess for what percentage of cells (in the brain) receive edits?

Are edits somehow targeted at brain cells in particular or do they run throughout the body?

I don't have a well-reasoned opinion here but I'm interested in hearing from those who disagree.
