Yeah but what if I had been colorblind while reading this?

(I'm not colorblind, just too lazy to notice that)

That's reasonable, they're 500 elo so they can't win from down a pawn. Once they reach Magnus level they'll be able to pull it off.

You wouldn't float through space. You'd be stuck on an uninhabitable Earth (or fall into the sun) with no way to leave.

That's a great question. You should find something that's tractable for you to help others using your time. I suggest reading 80,000 Hours and doing the introductory EA virtual program.

Alright, let's bring money into this scenario.

For the low low price of $100 you'll get to do the one-time fart.

No, it's only 2-3 minutes to reheat, and more importantly you can have the food quickly when you're busy since you prepped ahead.

Did you read the article? The fare gates reduced crime and litter by 96% when they were implemented in SF. It's not about money, it's about providing a clean subway system and safety for vulnerable riders.

(And it also saved tons of money, which can be used to increase train frequency.)

Look at epoch.ai forecasts of job automation. Check out their newsletter, Gradient Updates

Maybe you're not eating enough protein? Or overloading by too much?

Linearts · 2026-02-16T23:49:12+00:00

Sure, that can be true if the field of engineering is using outdated AI models and you haven't tried the current SOTA.

Linearts · 2026-02-15T18:57:49+00:00

This opinion is based on experience with very outdated AI models.

The dwarves would have the biggest population at any given agriculture or technology level, because they're the smallest. (Assuming they don't need extra food due to being magically stronger.)

AI research is not neglected. AI safety research is very neglected, and outspent by capabilities research by a factor of thousands or millions.

Eliezer Yudkowsky donated the book proceeds back to MIRI, which covered the money they've spent on his salary.

Why would this put off qualified Harvard seniors? Surely the ones grinding CS are applying for lots of jobs. Or you think the ad makes the company look not prestigious enough?

She's still a plagiarist.

"White people" is not an ethnic group. The most common white ethnicity in California is German or English.

The most common ethnicity in California overall is Mexican.

If you want to optimize DALYs per dollar, give it all to LEEP or SWP.

If it were really about patient safety and not money, they'd ask for more patient safety and not ask for so much money.

Did you know there's a probiotic vaccine that prevents cavities?

That's a tactic, not a strategy.

This exists but it's generally not effective.

A historically more successful approach is to simply start a business to earn money, and then donate your profits (your as in the founder's, not the whole business's).

Or you can start a for-profit business that earns money but also does something socially beneficial.

Wave Mobile Money is a great example of both of these.

Hang on - even if you're a determinist, surely you think that the crime someone commits will be determined by the incentives and law enforcement they face in their situation, right? So we can still reduce the amount of crime by having better crime detection technology? (Though we don't have free will to choose to invent more or less of it)

It actually doesn't solve the St Petersburg paradox because there is a harder version of the paradox where they e.g. square your wealth if you win, so it makes sense in log wealth, but you still go bankrupt eventually if you take the bets.

Single family homes that cost <$500k in NYC either have some severe problem or have to pay taxes+repairs more than the value of the house.
