A lot of developers have tried to make this app. I first noticed a version in 2007, back when Facebook had just started with apps.

Edit:* Holy shit, apparently it's worth $30 million.

I've found "machine problem-solving" goes over with laypeople better than "machine intelligence."

This is my first LessWrong discussion post, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

This is above-average quality for a discussion post. I look forward to reading your future posts.

There's at least one predictable value shift I can think of coming from human biology, namely puberty, that a hypothetical prepubescent rationalist should absolutely take into account when planning sufficiently far into the future

Yeah, but you're not going to value what your future self is going to value unless your utility function already includes "increase future self's utility" in it.

Downvoted for creating a new thread. I'll give you back the karma if you delete and repost this in the open thread.

I can think of a few examples but they're all political.

If you like psychology research say "I'm sure this is much more efficient than the wars or farm subsidies the government was going to use this money on."

If you don't like psychology research say "This is an outrage! We could preventing malaria with that money"

Really? I've never had the guts to tell the server that my meal was "satisfactory".

When the server asks if the meal was good, it usually wasn't good. Most meals are satisfactory or poor.
