Maxwell's Demon and the Arrow of Time
Measure43m20

I observe the wheel turning the wrong way. What you're saying is that I should hypothesize a recent, miraculous event that jostled the pin out of the way.

You would also observe this after a failed attempt to turn the ratchet forward. If it turned less than a full notch, you would see it sliding back afterward.

Temporarily Losing My Ego

Just like your mind can only see the rightside-up-stairs (w/ a blue wall closer to you) or the upside-down-stairs (w/ a green wall closer to you) (but never both of them at the same time)

If I unfocus my eyes, I can see-double with a different mode in each eye.

On Fleshling Safety: A Debate by Klurl and Trapaucius.
Measure9d73

(Those two had, specifically, asked an automatic result-filtering algorithm to select that fleshling of the highest discernible intelligence class up to measurement noise, whose Internet traces suggested the greatest ability to quickly adapt to being seized by aliens without disabling emotional convulsions. And if this was, itself, an odd sort of request-filter by fleshling standards -- liable to produce strange and unexpected correlations to its oddness -- neither of those two aliens had any way to know that.)

My read was that natural human variation plus a few dozen bits of optimization was sufficient explanation.

AI #138 Part 2: Watch Out For Documents

The question is whether restrictions on AI speech violate the first amendment rights of users or developers

I'm assuming this means restrictions on users/developers being legally allowed to repeat AI-generated text, rather than restrictions built into the AI on what text it is willing to generate.

Either I'm misunderstanding what you wrote, or you didn't mean to write what you did.

Suppose A is a human and B is a shrimp.

The value of adding a shrimp to a world where A exists is small.

The value of replacing the shrimp with A is large.

LLMs one-box when in a "hostile telepath" version of Newcomb's Paradox, except for the one that beat the predictor

Could this be the result of a system prompt telling them that the COT isn't exposed? Similarly to how they denied that events after their knowledge cutoff could have occurred?
