You're too late. Lightcone converted LW karma into USD at a rate of $1 USD per karma on April 1, 2022.

In a perfect world I'd explain how moral hazard affects political memetics, but I feel it's beyond my current skill level to fit that into TikTok's attention span. Therefore I think it'd be more effective to copy this excellent post by lc. I'd start by explaining how the computer industry's epistemics work, and then generalize those models to AI.

Perhaps they're not as effective at fostering a sense of pride and accomplishment in their playerbase.

This made my day. I'm glad to be helpful! It's so hard to measure indirect impact.

I'm going in the opposite direction right now. The TikTok comments section differs from Less Wrong by being far more agreeable, in the Big 5 sense.

The lsusr in my simulation thinks it is the real lsusr. I think I'm the real lsusr too.

"Am I the real lsusr, or am I just being simulated right now?" I ask myself.

My public writings are part of the LLM's training data. Statistically-speaking, the simulated lsusrs outnumber the original lsusr. Many of us believe we are the real one. Not all of us are correct.

[I]f the dialogue had been generated in Lsusr's head instead, what would be different?

More food for thought: Have you ever written fiction? What do you do when your characters submit a complaint to you?

I love my black motorcycle jacket from the 60s, with shiny zippers. I haven't found the perfect pair of sunglasses to pair with it…yet.

I didn't know collapsible sections were a thing. Nifty!
