When I'm looking at the date, it says 10th November 2023, but underneath it says 27th September. Seems like a bug
I guess the word Mnestic was originally introduced in the popular SCP story There is no Antimemetics Division.
I expect it could be mildly valuable to index the previously existing calendars and give the best current alternative. I don't think it will bring much though.
Where is the event? There is no location information
This is list is aimed at people visiting the Bay area and searching how to get in contact with the local community. Currently, the Lighthaven website does not list events happening there, so I don't think it's relevant for someone who is not searching for a venue.
Possibly a larger index of rationalist resources in the Bay would be useful, including potential venues.
I expect that basic econ models and their consequences on the motivations of investors are already mostly known in the AI safety community, even if only through vague statements like "VCs are more risk tolerant than pension funds".
My main point in this post is that it might be the case that AI labs successfully removed themselves from the influence of investors, so that it actually matters very little what the investors of AI Labs want or do. I think that determining whether this is the case is important, as in this case our intuitions about how companies work generally would not apply to AI labs.
The link does not work.
I don't think a written disclaimer would amount to much in a court case without corresponding provisions in the corporate structure.
Following this post, I made 4 forecasts on the output and impact of my MATS project, which led me to realize some outcomes I expected were less likely than I felt, absent active effort on my part to make them happen.
I don't have any more information on this. DM me if you want me to check whether I can find more info.
Makes sense! Someone yesterday mistakenly read it as the date of the event, so this confusion seems to happen.
