yeah, I supported EA when they focused on post-Turing eigenwelfare, but then they were hijacked by interdimensional hypershrimp advocacy

I can’t relate to the kind of person who doesn’t decide that Alice is lying.

what would you do if Alice claimed 100 heads and Bob claims a 100-long incompressible sequence?

or with n=1000?

how large must n be for you to snap out of your “b-but the maths says…” mindset?

NOT a math puzzle: you are imprisoned by two guards—Alice and Bob. One always lies; the other always tells the truth. Each flips a fair coin 10 times. Bob reports the sequence HTHHTTTHHT, and Alice reports that she got all heads. Who is most likely the liar?

All right, look. Odds of one 'heads' = 0.5. Odds of two 'heads' = 0.25. Odds of three 'heads' = 0.125. And so forth. By the time you get to 9 'heads', odds of an additional 'head' is ~0.

Nice argument. Unfortunately i have already depicted you as the cybernetic crying wojak and myself as the superintelligent chad

i’m going to go crazy if i hear “it’s just interpolating” again. like homie when it plays 2000 ELO chess is it just interpolating all the chess games it’s ever seen? not at all

The rebranding of the trees as “the forest” may be the most successful marketing campaign of all time.
