Meta, Inc wants to train AI on my personal data. Its notice is as follows:

...I OBJECT to the use of my personal data, including my data on Facebook, to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve AI.
Against legitimate interest: I assert that Meta's processing of my personal information to train, fine-tune, or otherwise improve AI (thereafter: "to train AI") would violate the requirements of legitimate interest under GDPR as follows:
Failing the "necessity" prong: OpenAI and Anthropic have successfully trained highly capable AI models without the use of my personal data. My personal data is therefore unnecessary to

Fill in the form like a Dangerous Professional, as Patrick McKenzie would put it.
Gorton, G. (2018), Financial Crises is a survey article. I thought its explanation of banking and financial crises as information shocks was enlightening.
Banking and financial crises as information shocks
Money, or bank notes, (or similar on-demand debt liabilities of a bank,) need to be information-insensitive (thus, interchangeable: $1 at Bank A == $1 at Bank B) to facilitate exchange. Otherwise, uninformed agents (any non banking-professionals) face adverse sele...
If we had the ability to create one machine capable to centrally planning our current world economy, how much processing power/ memory would it need to have? Interested in some Fermi estimates.
To which I would reply, this is AI-complete, at which point the AI would solve the problem by taking control of the future. That’s way easier than actually solving the Socialist Calculation Debate.
As a data point, Byrne Hobart argues in Amazon sees like a state that Amazon is approximately solving the economic calculation problem (ECP) in the Socialist Calculat...
I just realized that Scott Alexander (2018) had previously written specifically about scientific progress, while Holden Karnofsky (2021) had written about broader technological progress.
(Sorry about the long delay; I hope it's still of interest.)
Ah, increasing the number of researchers is simply increasing in . I didn't realize that!
Minor comment on one small paragraph:
Price's Law says that half of the contributions in a field come from the square root of the number of contributors. In other words, productivity increases linearly as the number of contributors increases exponentially. Therefore, as the number of AI safety researchers increases exponentially, we might expect the total productivity of the AI safety community to increase linearly.
I think Price's law is false, but I don't know what law it should be instead. I'll look at the literature on the rate of scientific progress (eg...

Intuition pump / generalising from fictional evidence: in the games Pandemic / Plague Inc. (where the player "controls" a pathogen and attempts to infect the whole human population on Earth), a lucky, early cross-border infection can help you win the game faster — more than the difference between a starting infected population of 1 vs 100,000.
This informs my intuition behind when the bonus of earlier spaceflight (through human help) could outweigh the penalty of not dismantling Earth.
When might human help outweigh the penalty of not dismantling Earth? It r...
Even if we're already doomed, we might still negotiate with the AGI.
I borrow the idea in Astronomical Waste. The Virgo Supercluster has a luminosity of about solar luminosity W, losing mass at a rate of kg / s.[1]
The Earth has mass kg.
If human help (or nonresistance) can allow the AGI to effectively start up (and begin space colonization) 600 seconds = 10 minutes earlier, then it would be mutually beneficial for humans to cooperate with the AGI (in the initial stages when the AGI could benefit from...
The opportunity cost to spare earth is far larger than the cost to spare a random planet halfway across the universe. The AI starts on earth. If it can't disassemble earth for spaceship mass, it has to send a small probe from earth to mars, and then disassemble mars instead. Which introduces a fair bit of delay. Not touching earth is a big restriction in the first few years and first few doublings. Once it gets to a few other solar systems, not touching earth becomes less importat of a restriction.
Of course, you can't TDT trade with the AI because you have no acausal correlation with it. We can't predict the AI's actions well enough.
I think the dramatic impact would be stronger without the "The end", and instead adding more blank space.
