Related.

What is the suffering of a few in the face of Science? Pain is all relative, as is eternity. We've done far worse. I'm sure we have.

(I'm not a huge fan of SCP in general, but I like a few stories with the "infohazard" tag, and I'm amused by how LW-ish those can get.)

At what level of formalization does this kind of 'incremental progress' start to count? I ask because your philosophical essays on reductionism, consciousness and zombies is something that seems to be incremental progress towards that end (but which I certainly wouldn't consider a mistake to publish or a net risk).

Eliezer could argue that the incremental progress towards stopping the risk outweighs the danger, same as with the general FAI/uFAI secrecy debate.

I can't find the quote on that page. Is it from somewhere else (or an earlier version) or am I missing something?

White text. (Apparently there's a few more hidden features in the entry, but I only found this one.)

Ah, thanks.

I, um, still can't find it. This white text is on the page you linked to, yes? About the videos that are probably soultraps?

EDIT: Nevermind, got it.
