Can I take you up on the offer to do a video call and see if we can install it on Chrome OS? Will DM you

In the same way that two human super powers can't simply make a contract to guarantee world peace, two AI powers could not do so either. 

That's not true. AI can see (and share) its own code.

Just want to note that I think this comment has basically been vindicated in the three years since FTX.

I love this idea, and I think you're on to something with

We don't notice how much of EA's "independent thinking" comes from people who can afford to do it.

(but I disagree-voted because I don't think "EA should" do this; I doubt it's cost-effective)

I got to the terminal but wasn't able to access the download and gave up at that step because for some reason I assumed it would only install the app for the linux development environment as opposed to the rest of Chrome OS. I'll try again, and email you if I can't get it working.

Is it possible to use it on Chrome OS somehow? It auto-detects that as Linux but I think it won't work if I use the Linux installer. I'm pretty sure it would be installable as a browser add-on but then not sure if it would work when you're using other programs.

This isn't deontology, it's lexical-threshold negative utilitarianism.

For me, it was a moderate update against "bycatch" amongst LTFF grantees (an audience which, in principle, should be especially vulnerable to bycatch)

Really? I think it would be the opposite: LTFF grantees are the most persistent and accomplished applicants and are therefore the least likely to end up as bycatch.

Strongly agree with this post. I think my session at EAG Boston 2024 (audience forecasting, which was fairly group-brainstormy) was suboptimal for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

I think most of us should get direct work jobs, and the E2G crowd should do high-EV careers (to the extent that they're personally sustainable), even if risky.
