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: International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI: Key Information, published by Aryeh Englander on May 19, 2024 on LessWrong. I thought that the recently released International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI seemed like a pretty good summary of the state of the field on AI risks, in addition to being about as close to a statement of expert consensus as we're likely to get at this point. I noticed that each section of the report has a useful "Key Information" bit with a bunch of bullet points summarizing that section. So for my own use as well as perhaps the use of others, and because I like bullet-point summaries, I've copy-pasted all the "Key Information" lists here. 1 Introduction [Bullet points taken from the "About this report" part of the Executive Summary] This is the interim publication of the first 'International Scientific Report on the Safety of Advanced AI'. A diverse group of 75 artificial intelligence (AI) experts contributed to this report, including an international Expert Advisory Panel nominated by 30 countries, the European Union (EU), and the United Nations (UN). Led by the Chair of this report, the independent experts writing this report collectively had full discretion over its content. At a time of unprecedented progress in AI development, this first publication restricts its focus to a type of AI that has advanced particularly rapidly in recent years: General-purpose AI, or AI that can perform a wide variety of tasks. Amid rapid advancements, research on general-purpose AI is currently in a time of scientific discovery and is not yet settled science. People around the world will only be able to enjoy general-purpose AI's many potential benefits safely if its risks are appropriately managed. This report focuses on identifying these risks and evaluating technical methods for assessing and mitigating them. It does not aim to comprehensively assess all possible societal impacts of general-purpose AI, including its many potential benefits. For the first time in history, this interim report brought together experts nominated by 30 countries, the EU, and the UN, and other world-leading experts, to provide a shared scientific, evidence-based foundation for discussions and decisions about general-purpose AI safety. We continue to disagree on several questions, minor and major, around general-purpose AI capabilities, risks, and risk mitigations. But we consider this project essential for improving our collective understanding of this technology and its potential risks, and for moving closer towards consensus and effective risk mitigation to ensure people can experience the potential benefits of general-purpose AI safely. The stakes are high. We look forward to continuing this effort. 2 Capabilities 2.1 How does General-Purpose AI gain its capabilities? General-purpose AI models and systems can produce text, images, video, labels for unlabelled data, and initiate actions. The lifecycle of general-purpose AI models and systems typically involves computationally intensive 'pre-training', labour-intensive 'fine-tuning', and continual post-deployment monitoring and updates. There are various types of general-purpose AI. Examples of general-purpose AI models include: Chatbot-style language models, such as GPT-4, Gemini-1.5, Claude-3, Qwen1.5, Llama-3, and Mistral Large.

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: List your AI X-Risk cruxes!, published by Aryeh Englander on April 29, 2024 on LessWrong. [I'm posting this as a very informal community request in lieu of a more detailed writeup, because if I wait to do this in a much more careful fashion then it probably won't happen at all. If someone else wants to do a more careful version that would be great!] By crux here I mean some uncertainty you have such that your estimate for the likelihood of existential risk from AI - your "p(doom)" if you like that term - might shift significantly if that uncertainty were resolved. More precisely, let's define a crux as a proposition such that: (a) your estimate for the likelihood of existential catastrophe due to AI would shift a non-trivial amount depending on whether that proposition was true or false; (b) you think there's at least a non-trivial probability that the proposition is true; and (c) you also think there's at least a non-trivial probability that the proposition is false. Note 1: It could also be a variable rather than a binary proposition, for example "year human-level AGI is achieved". In that case substitute "variable is above some number x" and "variable is below some number y" instead of proposition is true / proposition is false. Note 2: It doesn't have to be that the proposition / variable on it's own would significantly shift your estimate. If some combination of propositions / variables would shift your estimate, then those propositions / variables are cruxes at least when combined. For concreteness let's say that "non-trivial" here means at least 5%. So you need to think there's at least a 5% chance the proposition is true, and at least a 5% chance that it's false, and also that your estimate for p(existential catastrophe due to AI) would shift by at least 5% depending on whether the proposition is true or false. Here are just a few examples of potential cruxes people might have (among many others!): Year human-level AGI is achieved How fast the transition will be from much lower-capability AI to roughly human-level AGI, or from roughly human-level AGI to vastly superhuman AI Whether power seeking will be an instrumentally convergent goal Whether AI will greatly upset the offense-defense balance for CBRN technologies in a way that favors malicious actors Whether AGIs could individually or collectively defeat humanity if they wanted to Whether the world can collectively get their collective act together to pause AGI development given a clear enough signal (in combination with the probability that we'll in fact get a clear enough signal in time Listing all your cruxes would be the most useful, but if that is too long a list then just list the ones you find most important. Providing additional details (for example, your probability distribution for each crux and/or how exactly it would shift your p(doom) estimates) is recommended if you can but isn't necessary. Commenting with links to other related posts on LW or elsewhere might be useful as well. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org

Historian and author Terri Crocker joins Tim to talk about the still remarkable Christmas Truce of 1914 at the outset of the First World War. Terri wrote the book, “The Christmas Truce: Myth, memory and the First World War.” In this episode, we look at the Western Front where against all odds and their commanding officers, German and British troops, and others stepped out into no man's land on Christmas Day for a day of peace. This episode was originally released on December 23, 2019. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/321_-_Encore_Christmas_Truce.mp3 It was the first Christmas since the start of the First World War in 1914. The bloodshed had already been enormous. The front lines of the war along the Western Front were close enough to hear what was happening in the trenches on the other side. In between was known as no man's land, where nothing could survive the steady sniping and bombardment between the armies. The trenches were cold, muddy and wet, and sometimes, cold, frozen and wet. The troops on both sides thought the war would be over by Christmas, and here it was Christmas Eve. Silence, and then as Terri Crocker tells it, the sound of music would break the silence. A young farmer's son in the Queen's Westminster regiment by the name of Edgar Aplin starts to sing. He's apparently a good tenor, and he sings the song Tommy Lad. After a few verses, he hears a voice from the German trenches shout, “Sing it again Englander. Sing Tommy Lad again.” So, Edgar sings the song again, and then events started to unfold.  Private Aplin would send letters to his relatives and there is documentary evidence of this. “We had been out of the trenches for four days' rest, and returned on the 23rd of December, to relieve some regular troops. On Christmas Eve, the usual war methods went on all day, sniping, etc., until evening, when we started a few carols and the old home songs.” Immediately, our pals over the way began to cheer, and eventually we got shouting across to the Germans. Those opposite our front can mostly speak English. “Soon after dark, we suggested that if they would send one man halfway between the trenches (300 yards), we would do the same, and both agreed not to fire. “So, advancing towards each other, each carrying a torch, when they met, they exchanged cigarettes and lit up. Cheering on both sides was tremendous, and I shall never forget it. After a little while, several others went out, and a pal of mine met an officer who said that if we did not shoot for 48 hours, they wouldn't. And they were good as their word, too. On Christmas Day, we were nearly all out of the trenches. It was almost impossible to describe the day as it appeared to us here and I can tell you, we all enjoyed the peaceful time.” The family had said that Private Aplin would survive the war. He was sounded in the legs in March 1915 and went back to Britain where he recovered and would train new officers. After the war, he was a “milk man” and owned some “tea rooms.” The Cause of War World War I began in 1914 after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and lasted until 1918. During the war, Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire (the Central Powers) faced off against Great Britain, France, Russia, Italy, Romania, Japan and the United States (the Allied Powers). Because of new military technologies and trench warfare, the First World War killed more than 16 million people. Before the Truce The sides had negotiated cease fires for body retrieval for burial. But during the day, soldiers were ordered “over the top” for charges. Their bodies were left stranded in “no-man's land.” In the dark, both sides would send other soldiers out to retrieve the fallen. Sometimes, soldiers would intentionally hold fire. After dark, food would be delivered to the troops on both sides and they would actually cease fire during meal times.

Bret Englander is the Co-Founder and Director of Sales and Marketing at Cerno. A native of Laguna Beach, CA, a melting pot of artists, surfers, hippies, and entrepreneurs, Bret developed a passion for the natural environment, design, and entrepreneurship in his youth. Bret's parents ran their own business specializing in product development for the homebuilding industry. This meant many weekends were spent touring the latest completed homes, which Bret credits for his drive and ability to combine the creative and analytical sides of running a business. Originally, Bret wanted to pursue a career in journalism and film, graduating from the University of Colorado. After working at a newspaper, he decided to switch gears and pursue a career in business, which led to a few informative roles in finance and marketing. In 2009, Bret teamed up with childhood best friends Daniel Wacholder and Nick Sheridan to start Cerno. As co-founder, Bret wears many hats but focuses his efforts on business development as Cerno's Director of Sales and Marketing. Cerno is a California-based design and manufacturing company that, over the last 14 years, has grown from three founders to a team of approximately 50 people who share a passion for design and making modern lighting in Southern California. -- Critical Mass Business Talk Show is Orange County, CA's longest-running business talk show, focused on offering value and insight to middle-market business leaders in the OC and beyond.

Dust off those sales manuals and refocus your ferocious energy on sales fundamentals! In this episode, Sleep Summit Show host, CEO of Englander and founder of The FAM, Mark Kinsley, shares his insights from his visit to the BrandSource convention. Packed with interviews from all levels of leadership in the mattress retail industry, each discusses how they and their brands are navigating economic headwinds. Key Takeaways: 1) It's time for retailers to get back to basics and focus on sales fundamentals with intensity and intention. As BrandSource CEO Jim Ristow explained, retailers can no longer rely on inventory alone to drive sales. They need to refocus on sales training, promotions, vendor partnerships and more. 2) Retailers should also dust off old sales manuals and restart former practices of old that made an impact in a more casual environment (hint: bring back those Saturday morning sales meetings). As Mike Juoni of Corsicana said, "look back at what worked in 2019 and prior. The focus has to come from owners and flow through the entire organization." 3) Bring "ferocious focus" to sales interactions, whether on the showroom floor or over the phone. Treat every customer interaction as vital. Plus, don't ignore other keys to success as well, like maintaining ad spend during downturns and promoting holiday sales. Most importantly, Kinsley stressed getting back to sales fundamentals with intensity and intention. As he put it, "More intention with intensity." This combination will enable retailers to compete and thrive even in challenging conditions. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sleepsummitshow/message

Inspirational messages can feel cloying and cliché, but Marilyn Englander tells us about a time she took a chance and listened to one of those messages.

With both eyesight and hearing fading, Gladstone couldn't last long after his defeat on Home Rule. Though he lasted as long as he could. Even after almost the entire cabinet prevented him from blocking an increase in naval expenditure, demanded by the admirals, and which he feared would merely add fuel to the fire of an arms race, he still clung on for a while longer. Finally though, in February 1898 he went. But who would replace him? Would it be Spencer, his favoured candidate despite having opposed Gladstone over the naval expenditure? Well, Victoria didn't even do him the courtesy of consulting him about his successor, so what he favoured didn't matter. Might it be Harcourt, the Chancellor and ‘little Englander' whose cautious view of imperialism was in line with thinking across the mainstream of the Liberal Party? Or would it be the Liberal Imperialist Rosebery, who'd keep the party firmly anchored to its right wing? Well, Victoria was quite an imperialist herself. Rosebery was picked. He head a short-lived, inglorious government, torn by internal dissension – Harcourt couldn't forgive him for depriving him of a position to which he thought he was entitled – which fifteen months later simply imploded and meekly resigned, letting Salisbury form his third administration. That was the opening of a Tory decade. It was that long before the Liberals got another chance to form a government. Illustration: Archibald Philip Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery, by Henry T. Greenhead, published 23 October 1894, when Gladstone's successor was a fading Prime Minister.

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: The Productivity Fallacy, published by Deena Englander on July 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. When I find myself saying the same thing multiple times, it's time to write it up in an article. Recently, in my coaching sessions primarily with EA clients, I've found myself giving the same advice multiple times - cut down on what you're doing, spend time on yourself, and try to be unproductive for short periods of time. The problem is that people want to work at their maximum capacity in order to be the most impactful. And that is the productivity fallacy. So let's take a look at what happens when you are constantly working at full capacity. To start with, I'm going to use the analogy of a computer since most of us are pretty familiar with the basic mechanics of how it works. When a computer is going slowly, there are a few basic troubleshooting steps: Check your computer's resources Your computer only has a limited amount of resources to apply to the tasks set to it. When it exceeds hardware limitations, it will not be able to perform the required functions. Even worse, when it's exceeding its resource availability (running at >80%) for an extended period of time, it can have unintended and negative consequences such as shortened lifespan, slower performance, and software errors. I don't think anyone would argue with that - that's pretty much basic knowledge. So let's apply that to you and productivity: We only have a limited amount of energy. You can definitely argue that it's a design flaw with humans. When we exceed that amount of energy without replenishing it properly, you start running at "max capacity". When you're running at max capacity (being highly productive and efficient with your time without the restorative components to balance it), there are 3 big problems you'll encounter: You're at a much greater risk of burnout, getting sick, and harming your long-term ability to be impactful. The stress on your system has damaging consequences for both your physical and mental health, and they're not easy to recover from. Humans aren't built to do too much at once. If you take too much on, it will likely take necessary energy away from the things that matter most. You're much more likely to make mistakes. Mistakes can often be prevented by having the presence, calm, and headspace to focus properly. When you have too much going on, mistakes should be expected. You're also less likely to be able to come up with creative solutions since our creativity flows much more when we're not in a stressed state. 2. Close unnecessary applications If your computer is running too many applications, it slows everything else down. So you have to make a choice - which are the ones that are critical to have running, and which ones can you live without, are consuming too many resources, or you didn't even realize were consuming resources? Applying that back to you, take an honest look at the activities that consume your resources. Which ones are critical to keep going? Which ones are less essential? Letting go of something isn't a failure - it's redirecting your resources to excel in your top priorities. Sometimes it helps to use a "monitoring program" like time tracking to see where your time and energy is going. 3. Optimize your settings Sometimes there are some applications that you need, but they consume a lot of resources. So the next recommended step is to optimize your settings. Sometimes it's deleting the backlog, or changing the refresh rate, or having it not run in the background, or run at lower intensity. There are lots of potential solutions, and they differ based on your unique set of programs, available resources, and objectives. In your life, there may be some things that are high-resource consuming. But they don't need to be that way. How can you adjust these ...

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: 5 Proposed Changes to the Funding System to Increase Org Survival and Impact, published by Deena Englander on April 18, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. An approach I often use in my coaching is to pick the ONE thing, that if you could change, would have an exponential (or just the most) impact on the rest of your day. I propose that we use that mentality to pick the most easy-hanging fruit to help EA orgs be most impactful. I personally think that the ONE thing for EA orgs is mentorship and support - Charity Entrepreneurship does an excellent job of that, and it's a model that the rest of the funding community should incorporate. At the risk of sounding too critical, I will say that I think it's somewhat neglectful of funders to give people financial support to start their organizations, but not provide them with the right org infrastructure support to help them be successful. The objective of this post is to highlight key, easily actionable areas that would likely make all the EA funding dollars much more impactful. A few thought exercises If you, as a funder, knew that by giving each startup an extra 10% to create a healthier infrastructure, you would increase the survival rate and/or impact on average by at least 30%, would that be worth it? Say you have 2 organizations with the same agenda. One started with the right resources and guidance to create a healthy infrastructure, and the other without. What would you expect the difference in the overall impact and survival of each org to be? My Perspective of the Current Landscape To start with, I want to add a disclaimer that this article is based on my own experiential data with EA and EA-aligned orgs, as well as the experiences and perspectives of many other service providers in the EA space (see this article about EASE). This is by no means inclusive of all orgs and all problems - it is just my subjective perspective of the current systems. Here's how I assess the current funding landscape: FunderEntrepreneurObjectiveSpawn effective charities.Take an effective charity idea and bring it to fruitionMethodology (as I see it)Develop cause areas that should be funded. Attract applicants and initiatives. Vet applications. If the cause and numbers are in line with prior established metrics, approve and transfer funds.Do initial research, create a financial plan based on knowns, apply for funding, potentially receive funding, and report on progress annually.What's often missingRisks Establishing proper governance and compliance Finding talent that is good at leadership, in addition to research Assurance that funds will be spent most wisely (minimizing investment risk) Metrics for survival rates and causes of failure (if they exist, I'd love to see them) Incorporating proper governance and compliance Entrepreneurial / business leadership experience Guidance, mentorship and support Supportive community Strategic clarity Well-developed ToC and a plan to implement Accountability and supervision A culture of asking for help Trusted resources to support the org with supportive services and development Willingness to spend money on “non-essentials”, such as training Highest impact is often not achieved Low survival rate of young orgs Mismanagement and slow growth in orgs, if any Burnout of talent group Ineffective use of EA funds Unable to grow effectively Unable to have ideal impact Slow, disorganized / hampered development Higher failure rates Burnout Increased compliance and liability problems Mismanaged staff Mismanaged funds Poorly estimated budget -> not enough funds to implement well Proposed changes to the system: Have standard budget items that every startup should be including. For example, accounting, legal, marketing, ops, coaching, mentorship, community groups, HR, software, rent, travel, salary, benefits, hea...

Even people who agree that climate change is a problem don't necessarily agree on what to do about it. And some people still need a little more convincing that the threat is as serious as climate scientists and activists have been telling us it is. It can be difficult for skeptics with serious, well-intentioned questions to find a forum for getting answers. New York Times columnist Bret Stephens knows what that intellectual journey is like firsthand, having gone from climate skepticism to climate evangelism in just a few years, with the help of patient authorities on climate science. Oceanographer and sea level rise expert John Englander was one of the scientists who helped Stephens make that transformation, even inviting him on a trip to Greenland to see receded sea ice up close. Englander and Stephens reunite on stage at the 2023 Aspen Ideas: Climate event in Miami Beach to talk about persisting climate skepticism and effective tools of persuasion. The talk is moderated by Susan Goldberg, the president and CEO of public media company GBH.

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: 3 Basic Steps to Reduce Personal Liability as an Org Leader, published by Deena Englander on March 6, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. It's come to my attention that many of the smaller EA orgs are not putting into place basic protection measures that keep their leaders safe. In the world we live in, risk mitigation and potential lawsuits are a fact of life, and I wouldn't want anyone to put themselves at greater risk just because they are unaware of the risk and easy steps to avoid it. Rule #1: Incorporate. I know most are hesitant to start an actual non-profit since that is more expensive and time-consuming, but at the least, you can form an LLC. That means that any liability accrued by the org CANNOT pass on to you (I think there are a few exceptions, but you can research that). LLCs are easy to start, and are pretty inexpensive (a few hundred to start, and then annually). Rule #2: Get your organization its own bank account It is NOT a good idea to keep your organization's finances together with your personal ones for many reasons. That increases the risk of accidental fraud and financial mismanagement. If you have your funds and the org's funds together, you run the risk of using the wrong funds and increasing your liability, since it's not clear which activities are personal (not protected by the LLC) or from the org. You also can't really keep track of your expenses well when it's all mixed up. You don't need a fancy bank account - any will do. Rule #3: Get general liability insurance Basic liability insurance is an expense (mine costs about $1300 USD a year, but that's for my particular services), but if you're providing any type of guidance, mentoring, services, or events, it's a must. I can go into all sorts of potential lawsuits that you hopefully won't have, but if you even have one, your organization will likely go bankrupt if you don't have the protection insurance provides. This is not meant to be an in-depth article of all the things you can do, but EVERY EA org that is providing some type of service should have this in place. There's no reason to have our leaders assuming unnecessary risk. I don't know what this looks like if you're fiscally sponsored - I'd assume that they assume the liability - but I would love it if someone could clarify. I hope we can start changing the standard practices to protect our leaders and organizations. If anyone has any questions about their particular org, please feel free to reach out.

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: Introducing EASE, a managed directory of EA Organization Service Providers, published by Deena Englander on February 23, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. What is EASE? EASE (EA Services) is a directory of independent agencies and freelancers offering expertise to EA-aligned organizations. Please visit our website at to view our members. Who are we? We are a team of service providers. The authors of this post are the core coordinators. We all have our own organizations providing services to EA-aligned organizations. We see the problems most organizations encounter, and we developed a solution to help address that need. Why did we start EASE? Many organizations in the EA world have similar needs but lack the bandwidth or expertise to realize them. By providing a directory of experts covering many common challenges, we aim to save the community time whilst addressing key skill shortages. We believe that most organizations need external expertise in order to maximize their organization's potential. We are all focused on being effective – and we believe that forming this centralized directory is the most effective way of making a large resource group more available to EA-aligned organizations. Why should EA organizations consider working with these agencies? By working with multiple EA organizations, these agencies have gathered plenty of expertise to provide relevant advice, save time and money, and most importantly, increase your impact. Our screening process ensures that the vendors listed are pre-qualified as experts in their represented fields. This minimizes the risk of engaging with a new “unknown” entity, as they're already proven to be valuable team players. Additionally, we have programming in place to consolidate the interagency interactions and strengthen relationships, so that when you work with one member of our group, you're accessing a part of a larger network. Our members are vetted to determine capabilities, accuracy, and work history, but we do not give out any endorsement for specific providers. What are the criteria for being added to the directory? Our aim is to build a comprehensive list of service providers who work with EA organizations. We screen members to ensure that the providers are experienced and are truly experts in their field, as well as being active participants in EA or having experience working with EA-aligned organizations. Are you an individual or team providing services to EA-aligned organizations and would like to be added? We love growing our network! Fill out this form and someone will contact you to begin the screening process. Are you ready to get the help you need? Feel free to contact the service providers directly. Are you an EA organization in need of help but aren't sure what you need or if you have the budget? We can help you figure out what kind of services and budget you need so you can try to get the funds necessary to pay for these critical services. Please send us an email to info@ea-services.org, and we will do our best to help you. Is the directory up to date? We regularly review the listings to make sure they remain relevant. If you have any comments or suggestions, please send an email to info@ea-services.org. Thanks for listening. To help us out with The Nonlinear Library or to learn more, please visit nonlinear.org.

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: [Cross-post] Is the Fermi Paradox due to the Flaw of Averages?, published by Aryeh Englander on January 18, 2023 on LessWrong. [This article is copy-pasted from the Lumina blog, very lightly edited for LessWrong.] Where is everybody?— Enrico Fermi The omnipresence of uncertainty is part of why making predictions and decisions is so hard. We at Lumina advocate treating uncertainty explicitly in our models using probability distributions. Sadly this is not yet as common as it should be. A recent paper “Dissolving the Fermi Paradox” (2018) is a powerful illustration of how including uncertainty can transform conclusions on the fascinating question of whether our Earth is the only place in the Universe harboring intelligent life. The authors, Anders Sandberg, Eric Drexler and Toby Ord (whom we shall refer to as SDO), show elegantly that the apparent paradox is simply the result of the mistake of ignoring uncertainty, what Sam L. Savage calls the Flaw of Averages. In this article, we review their article and link to an Analytica version of their model that you can explore. The Fermi Paradox Enrico Fermi. From Wikimedia commons. One day in 1950, Enrico Fermi, the Nobel prize-winning builder of the first nuclear reactor, was having lunch with a few friends in Los Alamos. They were looking at a New Yorker cartoon of cheerful aliens emerging from a flying saucer. Fermi famously asked “Where is everybody?”. Given the vast number of stars in the Milky Way Galaxy and the likely development of life and extraterrestrial intelligence, how come no ETs have come to visit or at least been detected? This question came to be called the “Fermi Paradox”. Ever since, it has bothered those interested in the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence and whether we are alone in the Universe. The Flaw of Averages on Steroids Dr. Sam Savage who coined the term “Flaw of Averages” Sam L. Savage, in his book, The Flaw of Averages, shows how ignoring uncertainty and just working with a single mean or “most likely” value for each uncertain quantity can lead to misleading results. To illustrate how dramatically this approach can distort your conclusions, SDO offer a toy example. Suppose there are nine factors that multiplied together give the probability of extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) arising on any given star. If you use a point estimate of 0.1 for each factors, you could infer that there is a 10−9probability of any given star harboring ETI. There are about 1011 stars in the Milky Way, so the probability that no star other than our own has a planet harboring intelligent life would be extremely small, (1−10−9)100B≈3.7×10−44. On the other hand, suppose that, based on what we know, each factor could be anywhere between 0 and 0.2, and assign a uniform uncertainty over this interval, using the probability distribution, Uniform(0, 0.2). If you combine these distributions probabilistically, using Monte Carlo simulation for example, the mean of the result is 0.21 – over 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times more likely! The Drake Equation Frank Drake, a radio astronomer who worked on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI), tried to formalize Fermi's estimate of the number of ETIs. He suggested that we can estimate N, the number of detectable, intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy from what is now called the “Drake equation”. It is sometimes referred to as the “second most-famous equation in science (after E= mc2)”: Frank Drake (1930-2022). N=R∗×fp×ne×fl×fi×fc×L Where R∗ is the average rate of formation of stars in our galaxy,fp is the fraction of stars with planets.ne is the average number of those planets that could potentially support life.fl is the fraction of those on which life had actually developed;fi is the fraction of those with life that ...

Last year in the U.S., more than 100,000 people died of drug overdoses. It's a staggering statistic that was unthinkable just a few years ago. A paper by Dr. Honora Englander and attorney Corey Davis in the New England Journal of Medicine took hospitals and policy-makers to task last month for not doing enough to support and engage people who use drugs and who are hospitalized. They write, "The United States is in the throes of a decades-long exacerbation of drug-related harm. Hospitals are a key domain for implementing person-first, evidence-based interventions for reducing that harm. Yet despite the obvious need, hospitals have been slow to enact reforms to improve the health of people who use drugs. We believe that systemic reform, led by the federal government, is necessary to mitigate the ongoing crisis of drug-related harm." † In this episode they talk with Seán about current impediments to the best care possible and their vision for improving standards of care nationwide. ..Honora Englander, M.D.Professor of MedicineDirector/PI, Improving Addiction Care Team (IMPACT)Division of Hospital MedicineSection of Addiction Medicine in DGIMDepartment of Medicine, Oregon Health & Science UniversityPortland, Ore...Corey Davis, J.D., M.P.H.S.Deputy Director, Southeastern Region OfficeDirector, Harm Reduction Legal ProjectNetwork for Public Health LawEdina, Minn...† Englander, H. & Davis, C.

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: Half-baked AI Safety ideas thread, published by Aryeh Englander on June 23, 2022 on LessWrong. [Cross-posted from the EA Forum. The EA Forum version of this post is for both half-baked EA ideas and half-baked AI Safety ideas, whereas this version of the post is for half-baked AI Safety ideas specifically.] I keep having ideas related to AI safety, but I keep not having enough time available to really think through those ideas, let alone try to implement them. Practically, the alternatives for me are to either post something half-baked, or to not post at all. I don't want to spam the group with half-thought-through posts, but I also want to post these ideas, even in their current state, in case some of them do have merit and the post inspires someone to take up those ideas. Originally I was going to start writing up some of these ideas in my Shortform, but I figured that if I have this dilemma then likely other people do as well. So to encourage others to at least post their half-baked ideas somewhere, I am putting up this post as a place where other people can post their own ideas without worrying about making sure they formulate those ideas to the point where they'd merit their own post. If you have several ideas, please post them in separate comments so that people can consider each of them individually. Unless of course they're closely related to each other, in which case it might be best to post them together - use your best judgment. [This post was also inspired by a suggestion from Zvi to create something similar to my AGI Safety FAQ / all-dumb-questions-allowed thread, but for ideas / potentially dumb solutions rather than questions.] Thanks for listening.
