Epistemic status: I time-boxed this idea to three days of effort. So any calculations are pretty sloppy, and I haven't looked into any related works. I probably could have done much better if I knew anything about circuit complexity. There are some TODOs and an unfinished last section -- if...

This document was my initial response to OpenAI's call for proposals on how to democratically steer AI. I was thinking about crowdsourcing a constitution in the Constitutional AI sense. The idea is that: 1. Voters each propose an AI constitution 2. GPT selects a pair of constitutions, simulates a debate...

This is a cross-link for https://scottviteri.github.io/post/nature-v-nurture-for-ais. Let's imagine a hypothetical scenario where an AI is somehow trained in a way that is analogous to a human childhood in all of the relevant ways. Maybe it has a loving mother and family, maybe it has to learn to play well with...

conversationism, the mathematics behind communication and understanding, used to raise the artificial intelligence as a child with love, as a painting, by midjourney Intro There seems to be a stark contrast between my alignment research on ontology maps and on cyborgism via Neuralink. I claim that the path has consisted...

Be the AGI you want to see in the world. Epistemic status: highly speculative, authors are not neuroscientists. Summary * It may be possible to enhance human intelligence via a brain-computer interface (BCI). We could put electrodes into a human brain, connect those electrodes to an artificial neural network, and...

In my previous post I talked about read-eval-print loops as providing a type signature for agents. I will now explain how you can quickly transition from this framework to an ELK solution. Notation is imported from that post. Imagine we have two agents, a human and a strong AI, denoted...

Read-eval-print loops are used to interact with programming languages as well as in the shell to interact with your computer. I claim that they are a reasonable starting point for reasoning about agents. This is a framing that all but wrote my ELK proposal for me, and has been paying...
