The next rationalist fanfiction of Less Wrong contributors should be called "My Little AI: Friendliness isn't Magic!" :-)

Excellent work, Leonhart!

No, no; the fic has to be My Little Pony: Friendship is Science.

Cooperation is Instrumental.

Done.

Friendship is Science has now been revised to contain a bit more plot.

Okay, there's probably no point in nitpicking a parody, but Fluttershy doesn't have a horn, she's a pegasus, not a unicorn.

Edit to add: but seriously there's no point in fussing over perfecting such an omake. Frankly I thought the first version was somewhat better, as "Mary Sue" parodies are a bit cliche.

Seconded on the first version being better.

Did anybody archive a copy of the first version? I was too late to the party to see it.

Also, "plot" is ponyfan slang for butts.

Edit: Well, someone had to say it.

This is making me increasingly worried that I only like the rest of those omake files due to halo effect from your person and not being as enthusiastic about the originals.

Nice. Although not as great as it could be, am I guessing correctly that you didn't have much previous experience with the show or spent that much time on researching it?

Comment author: Eliezer_Yudkowsky 22 September 2011 10:16:30PM 1 point [-]

Just the first two episodes so far.

Comment author: Armok_GoB 22 September 2011 10:26:32PM 4 points [-]

Oh. Well that's more than 40 min so I'd say I were wrong then.

Also; YESSSSSSS I managed to make Eliezer a Brony! (Probably. In the future. ) :D

In case you don't have the time (or the desire) to watch the whole series, two episodes that are particularly relevant to the topics of LessWrong are probably 'Bridle Gossip' and 'Feeling Pinkie Keen'.

I don't get it. Is it mocking somehting?

Comment author: AdeleneDawner 16 April 2011 02:32:28PM 8 points [-]

The indigo one is Eliezer and the yellow one is Robin Hanson.

bwhahahahahahahahahahahaha

I blame you both. I never used to have ponies in my utility function. And now it's 2AM.

Comment author: Alicorn 16 April 2011 01:21:05AM 5 points [-]

It is so amazing. <3
