John le Carré and Bernard Pivot's necktieWell, how do you define complexity? Kolmogorov complexity? That’s maximized when everything is random and structureless. “Oh sorry, I meant entropy!”. Entropy is maximized if everything is a dispersed cloud of gas, same problem! “Oh sorry, I meant negentropy!” Negentropy is maximized if everything is at absolute zero with no motion!
Alignment & Succession: The Ideology of SuccessionSo people grasp for what the fundamental fountain of value is. (I myself try this in a latter part in this series.)
Alignment & Succession: The Ideology of SuccessionI have no solution except that real work has a feeling. I know the difference between reading a book and its summary, like athletes know when they’re pushing themselves in training versus phoning it in. The reason to write your own essays isn’t that Claude can’t do it better—it’s that writing is thinking and you shouldn’t wither away your brain. Use AI to get smarter and don’t let it make you dumb. There’s a cognitive equivalent to lifting heavy. Do it three or four times a week.
The Old World Is Dying: Advice for 2026 graduates"Oh, not human government bureaucrats, of course. It's all AIs, and they're guaranteed to not have memories. Well, apart from the thing where the UAE intelligence services backdoored the Hypercluster." "Wait, hold on, they -" Anthony interrupted me with a chuckle. "No no, it's all fine. The UAE backdoored the hypercluster, the Iranians backdoored the UAE, and, well, when have the Israelis not had every Iranian site backdoored in twelve different ways, AI or not? When everyone has powerful AI cyber offence agents, the equilibrium is just good ol' mutually assured destruction. Sure, you could re…
Survival without dignity - Rudolf's Writingpreventing scheming early transformative AIs from succeeding at extreme subversion (e.g. escaping or massively sabotaging research due to scheming) seems quite robustly good for reducing AI risk. I
The Case Against AI Control Research — LessWrongNote that I consider the problem of "get useful research out of AIs that are scheming against you" to be in scope for AI control research.
The Case Against AI Control Research — LessWrongThe core point of this post is: intentional scheming in early transformatively-useful AI is a relatively small slice of the AI X-risk probability mass,
The Case Against AI Control Research — LessWrongThe control approach we're imagining won't work for arbitrarily powerful AIs, but we think it could work for AIs which are among the first to be capable of substantially reducing risk from subsequent AIs
The case for ensuring that powerful AIs are controlled — LessWrongControl: Ensure that even if your models are scheming, you'll be safe, because they are not capable of subverting your safety measures.[3]
The case for ensuring that powerful AIs are controlled — LessWrongIf you’re going to do something really important, you are very likely going to work both smart and hard.
Productivity - Sam AltmanI try to prioritize in a way that generates momentum. The more I get done, the better I feel, and then the more I get done. I like to start and end each day with something I can really make progress on.
Productivity - Sam AltmanI prefer lists written down on paper. It’s easy to add and remove tasks.
Productivity - Sam AltmanNever let setbacks panic you into backtracking more than you need to. Corollary: Never abandon the root node.
