Im surprised by this, so I think it would be valuable to have as a top level post with more details.

You are one day old

I think your comment was meant positively, but this could come across as saying the question was naive. I think it was a very relevant question, and although I have followed the AI safe debate for a decade, I had the same question.

Who do you see as potential adversaries that would do something like 1? I can see that nation states would be intersted in infiltrating the AI security community, but not why they would want to weaken its credibility.

Rogue agents would have an interest in weakening our credibility. Do you think this is currently a threat?

Labs might have a short term interest, but it would be big risk for them to do something like this, and I don’t think they would do it. Individuals from labs might want to do this, but it would be a lot of work for an individua.

the "safety is for marketing" meme

I think part of the problem is that “safety is for marketing” can refer to two almost opposite statements. 

1. (False) AI is not dangerous, but labs plays up safety concerns to make their technology seem more powerful.
2. (True) AI is dangerous, and AI developers know this. For that reason, labs want to emphasise their work on safety to be able to attract the best employees. Sometimes labs “safety” efforts are more about appearing safe than actually doing something meaningful.

When trying to communicate 2 it is important to not do ... (read more)

How about just tapping a glass repeatedly (with either cutlery or another glass)? This would be the usual way to get the attention in Denmark at least. The sound is easily heard over conversations.

How long can the company drag out the case before they have to pay compensation? What can you do if they just keep saying that they are working on it? On a previous occasion it took me more than 3 months to get the compensation, and I have a current case that has already taken a month.

I was sceptical, so I tried to make Claude guess who wrote one of the test paragraphs, and it guessed correctly and was 75% confident. I asked it not to use internet, but i didn‘t verify that it didn’t use google.

I feel like hiring wise, this post is really very substantially about experience.

I think that wasn’t that clear from the post. I read it as saying that you can have a talent for each of the 4 skills, and that experience with each skill isn’t transferable. Past experience in a skill is only relevant as a proof that you have a talent for that category.

Why is 0.1% not being monitored?! Naively, I would expect it to only be around 0.1% extra work. Or is there a reason that the last 0.1% is somehow harder to monitor?

Does that mean that the brain itself was simulated, using only info from the brain scan, while other techniques were used for simulating the body and environment?

Was it a specific fruit fly, or a simulation created using data from multiple fruit flies?

Is there any hope/indication that this process can be reverted? For example, has this ever been reverted in a single cell? Or do you think this treatment is only relevant for uploading?

What kind of visa do you need for this? Do plans to use MAiD counts as plans to leave the country?

Assuming you don’t do this until you are terminally ill, what is the chance of having enough time to plan this, rather than needing emergency service?

This comment seems to conflate two different statements.

1 Most of GDP depends of stable goods like steel, concrete and copper wire. 
2 Most of GDP is the production of stable goods that almost everything depends on.

What you need for the counter argument to work is point 2 while many of the claims are only supporting point 1.

I dont think 2 is true (if you exclude the production for humans who then provide labor). For example education, healthcare, tourism, retail.

Are you also against online banks?! Or are you somehow only hoping for advancements in hacking that breaks confidentiality but not integrity?

that woman who was jailed longer than the rapists she insulted

I believe this is not an honest description of the case. Even the simple investigation of this, that I did by following the link, suggested that the woman was jailed for a weekend because of a previous theif, and for not attending and court hearing. All the defendants of the rape case got youth sentences of at least a year. 
I’m strongly downvoting your post. I hope you understand that this is not because I want to censor your political views, but because I want information on less wrong to not be misleading. 

This posts argues that all emotions “makes sense” in some games theoretical sense. I wonder if it is possible to state this clearer and give a game theoretical definition of emotion. If so, it would be interesting to see if there are any “theoretical emotions” that has not been observed in humans. 
Just like there are electromagnetic wave lengths we cannot see and gasses we cannot smell, maybe there are game theoretical emotions we cannot intuitively feel. 

I use ChatGPT and Claude to try to learn Macedonian, because there is only very little learning material available for that language. For example, they can (with a few errors sometimes) explain grammatical concepts or give me sentences to translate. I have not found a good way of storing a description of my abilities and weaknesses across conversations, but within a conversation they are good at adapting the difficulty of the questions to the quality of my answers. 
Unfortunately I’m not aware of any tools that can pronounce or transcribe Macedonian.&n... (read more)

What is the definition of a Dyson Swarm? Is it really easier to define, or just easier to see that we are not there, only because we are not close yet?

That is assuming you live sufficiently long. The point in life insurance is to make sure you leave something for your kids/spouse if you die soon.
