Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Instrumental Convergence Bounty, published by Logan Zoellner on September 14, 2023 on LessWrong. I have yet to find a real-world example that I can test my corrigibility definition on. Hence, I will send $100 to the first person who can send/show me an example of instrumental convergence that is: Surprising, in the sense that the model was trained on a goal other than "maximize money" "maximize resources" or "take over the world" Natural, in the sense that instrumental convergence arose while trying to do some objective, not with the goal in advance being to show instrumental convergence Reproducible, in the sense that I could plausibly run the model+environment+whatever else is needed to show instrumental convergence on a box I can rent on lambda Example of what would count as a valid solution: I was training an agent to pick apples in Terraria and it took over the entire world in order to convert it into a massive apple orchard Example that would fail because it is not surprising I trained an agent to play CIV IV and it took over the world Example that would fail because it is not natural After reading your post, I created a toy model where an agent told to pick apples tiles the world with apple trees Example that would fail because it is not reproducible The US military did a simulation in which they trained a drone which decided to take out is operator Thanks for listening.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we start a new series on 2005's Capcom horror classic, Resident Evil 4. We place it in its time and then talk immediately about how it really kicked the third-person action-adventure game into higher gear. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Up to the second typewriter Issues covered: the Capcom 5, having some trouble getting the game off the ground, success of the remake, a really different feel, relying on establishing POV shots from slashers, horror movie touchpoints, moving away from straight-up zombie games, differences between Chris and Leon, meeting Hunnigan via the Codec, popularizing the third-person shooter, hold-overs from the older controls, fighting the controls, embodying the character, disempowerment, pick a spot and stand your ground, jerky enemies, shooting a weapon out of the air, opening up the level design to multiple paths, the gun-and-run, Leon's better tactics, "various awesome actions," moving saves away from being a resource, a more revealed map, having people coming at you with pitchforks and torches, can you get the chainsaw guy?, disconnects with marketing, getting lucky to have marketing departments who got it, moral choices and the morally objectionable, motivating the character choices for evil, coloring the tone of dialog to reflect your choices, what weapons we chose with BioShock, talking about the wrench kill, loving crossbows, style over substance in Control. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: God of War, Shadow of the Colossus, SW: Republic Commando, Psychonauts, Guild Wars, Civ IV, FEAR, The Undying, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, AC: Wild World, Guitar Hero, Mercenaries, Battlefront II, KotOR II, Lego Star Wars, Xbox 360, Capcom, GameCube, PN 03, Vanquish, Viewtiful Joe, Suda51, Killer 7, Clover Studio, Hideki Kamiya, Dead Phoenix, Panzer Dragoon, PlayStation 2, Devil May Cry, PT, Game Developer Magazine, Friday the 13th, Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Godzilla, Classic Monsters, The Hills Have Eyes, 'Salem's Lot, The Omen, The Exorcist, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Living Dead, Shawn Cassidy, Silent Hill, Gears of War, Metal Gear Solid, Frankenstein, Deathloop, Sam Thomas, BioShock, The Green Knight, David S.

The Civilization series is one of the most consistently successful 4x titles throughout video game history.  It saw its first entry way back in 1991, and would continue to refine its history spanning empire building over the years.  Perhaps the most well regarded of them was Civilization IV: Beyond The Sword, a standalone expansion pack for Civ IV that promised the deepest and most complex strategy up to that date.Civilisation V, however, seemed to break from a lot of what defined the main series up to that point.  Unit stacking, global happiness and the removal/replacement of the civics system saw fans outraged.  But with time (and more expansion packs) the love for Civ V’s systems grew, and it quickly became the most popular Civ game ever.  But were all the changes that were made actually improvements over the systems present in Civilization IV?  Was the game changed for the better?  Were they sidegrades, or even worse, downgrades?On this episode, we discuss:How does the existence of combat stacking affect both the tactical skirmishes and strategic positioning of your forces?  How does it compare to a one unit per tile system?How well does Civ IV communicate the details of your empire to the player?  How easy is it to read the broader landscape of all out war in a glance?How much shit will Patrick get for pronouncing 4x as ‘four times’?  I’ve only ever read it online before, please forgive me!We answer these questions and many more on the 53rd episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast! Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherCiv IV OST: Various Composers (see under each video in playlist) Civilization IV BUG mod (recommended) Did we misunderstand anything fundamental about how the combat system works?  Does one unit per tile lead to more sophisticated combat encounters than we gave it credit for?  What 4x title should we tackle next?  Come let us know our our community discord server!

We sit down with special guest Christopher Tin, composer of the GRAMMY award winning Baba Yetu, which is also the title song for Sid Meier's Civilization IV. Chris has also written the title song for Civilization VI titled, Sogno Di Volare.

The crew were in San Francisco last week for the Game Developer's Conference, where they spoke to developers and gambled on the results of the annual awards show. Now they’re back to tell you all about their Stateside adventures. Between sessions of Far Cry 5, of course. Adam chatted to Civ IV creator Soren Johnson about his upcoming 4X game. John spoke to Paul Neurath, the creator of Ultima Underworld II. And Brendan was at the awards ceremony at the Independent Games Festival, where he quizzed Tim Schafer. None of these people actually feature in the podcast, but look at all the names we've dropped!

In this very special Three Moves Ahead, Rob is joined by Civilization designers Jon Shafer and Soren Johnson to talk about Civilization. The venerable strategy series turns 25 this year, and Rob already took the one joke I had about how it can now rent a car. Oh well. Jon and Soren give their takes on the other entries in the series and give some insight into their design decisions for Civ IV and V.

Michael Lucas-Smith and I are fans of a number of video games - we both like the Fallout series quite a bit, for instance. Since we end up talking about the games we play so much, we thought it might be fun to do a podcast on the subject. Here's episode 4. In this podcast, we talk about Civ IV and Civ V - we've both played Civ IV quite a bit, and appeared on Polycast to talk about it. Michael carries the chat about Civ V; I don't have it yet, since I'm on the Mac. To listen now, you can either download the mp3 edition, or the Ogg Vorbis edition. You can subscribe to the MP3 edition in iTunes using this feed. You can subscribe directly in iTunes as well. If you have feedback, send it to James Robertson.
