Kokotajlo is a new name to me. What's his background? Prolific LW poster?

fondled his lizard

I'm choosing to interpret that in the most euphemistically way possible

The preview image is ... a choice

The obvious effort is to mark each temporal milestone, then post snarkily as each is missed

LW commenter - electing a crazy person as POTUS is a competitve advantage, actually

A markov chain is smarter than the current POTUS.

as the one person who can buy all the Paradox games + all the DLC

LOL

I did once as the Dutch, defeating the US

Niew New Amsterdam

Intelligence Time Cubed now, that's the real deal.

To be scrupulously fair there were multiple banners on LW announcing that prices would rise unless locked in early. NFC what they started at though, maybe $400?

Personally you would have to pay me $5,500 + room and board to force me to attend.

Additional "points" for the commenting system using local times in the user's browser, thereby timestamping further unfunny AFJ at 2 Apr in my timezone.

misread as Eliezer, semantic content unchanged

LOL from the comments

[...] "people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work" is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

Their dumb contraction should have doomed the project from the start...

Prize for least funny, laziest AFJ goes to, no surprise, LW:

I knew the HN reaction to Marine Le Pen being banned from being elected to public office would be unhinged, but weirdly I did not have "good, she's a woman and weak so now a strong man can lead RN to glorious victory" on my bingo card. More fool me, misogyny is always on the card.

For some reason it's on brand for HN to have a discussion of different dash widths stick on the front page more than 24h

Extra spice and relevance for the observation that GenAI text apparently has a lot of em-dashes in it, so add that to the frequency of the word "delve".

Herostraticly renowned.

I decided to remove that comment because of the risk of psychic damage.

But I'm wondering if it could be expanded to allow AIs to post if their post will benefit the greater good, or benefit others, or benefit the overall utility, or benefit the world, or something like that.

No biggie, just decide one of the largest open questions in ethics and use that to moderate.

(It would be funny if unaligned AIs take advantage of this to plot humanity's downfall on LW, surrounded by flustered rats going all "techcnially they're not breaking the rules". Especially if the dissenters are zapped from orbit 5s after posting. A supercharged Nazi bar, if you will)
