What's a LessWrong?

Mildly harmful pseudo scientific movement with delusions of cultish grandeur.

Presumably the reason there is no mention of superintelligence or recursively self-modifying anything because those concepts don't exist with today's technology.

Superintelligence doesn't, but recursive self-modification has been a feature of AI research since the Seventies. As MIRI predicts, value stability proved to be a problem.

(Eurisko's authors solved it -- allegedly, there isn't much open data -- by walling off the agent's utility function from modification. This would be much harder to do to a superintelligent agent.)

Just a nitpick, but it should be y'all's not ya'll's.

Technically speaking, shouldn't it be all y'all's since it's plural? X-D

Depends on your dialect.

Its better than "yous guys" which would be totally acceptable in Brooklyn and Queens and most of Northern New Jersey. But it is y'all because its short for the 2nd person plural "you all."

thanks I've been mispelling that for a while now. I stand corrected.
