Also I suggest that given the number of tags in each section, load more should be load all.

This is awesome! Three comments:

  1. Please make an easy to find Recent Changes feed (maybe a thing on the home page which only appears if you've made wiki edits). If you want an editor community, that will be their home, and the thing they're keeping up with and knowing to positively reinforce each other.
  2. The concepts portal is now a slightly awkward mix of articles and tags, with potentially very high use tags being quite buried because no one's written a good article for it (e.g Rationality Quotes has 136 pages tagged, but zero karma, so requires many clicks to reach). I'm especially thinking about the use case of wanting to know what types of articles there are to browse around. I'm not sure exactly what to do about this.. maybe having the sorting not be just about karma, but a mix of karma and number of tagged posts? Like (k+10)*(t+10) or something? Disadvantage is this is opaque and drops alphabetical much harder.
  3. A bunch of the uncategorized ones could be categorized, but I'm not seeing a way to do this with normal permissions.

Adjusting 2 would make it much cleaner to categorize the many ones in 3 without that clogging up the normal lists.

Nice! I'll watch through these then probably add a lot of them to the aisafety.video playlist.

I've heard from people I trust that:

  1. They can be pretty great, if you know what you want and set the prompt up right
  2. They won't be as skilled as a human therapist, and might throw you in at the deep end or not be tracking things a human would

Using them can be very worth it as they're always available and cheap, but they require a little intentionality. I suggest asking your human therapist for a few suggestions of kinda of work you might do with a peer or LLM assistant, and monitoring how it affects you while exploring, if you feel safe enough doing that. Maybe do it the day before a human session the first few times so you have a good safety net. Maybe ask some LWers what their system prompts are, or find some well-tested prompts elsewhere.

oh yup, sorry, I meant mid 2026, like ~6 months before the primary proper starts. But could be earlier.

Yeah, this seems worth a shot. If we do this, we should do our own pre-primary in like mid 2027 to select who to run in each party, so that we don't split the vote and also so that we select the best candidate.

Someone I know was involved in a DIY pre-primary in the UK which unseated an extremely safe politician, and we'd get a bunch of extra press while doing this.

Humans without scaffolding can do a very finite number of sequential reasoning steps without mistakes. That's why thinking aids like paper, whiteboards, and other people to bounce ideas off and keep the cache fresh are so useful.

With a large enough decisive strategic advantage, a system can afford to run safety checks on any future versions of itself and anything else it's interacting with sufficient to stabilize values for extremely long periods of time.

Multipolar worlds though? Yeah, they're going to get eaten by evolution/moloch/power seeking/pythia.

More cynical take based on the Musk/Altman emails: Altman was expecting Musk to be CEO. He set up a governance structure which would effectively be able to dethrone Musk, with him as the obvious successor, and was happy to staff the board with ideological people who might well take issue with something Musk did down the line to give him a shot at the throne.

Musk walked away, and it would've been too weird to change his mind on the governance structure. Altman thought this trap wouldn't fire with high enough probability to disarm it at any time before it did.

I don't know whether the dates line up to dis-confirm this, but I could see this kind of 5d chess move happening. Though maybe normal power and incentive psychological things are sufficient.
