A Venn diagram of people interested in how AI will shape our future, and members of the effective altruism community (often abbreviated to EA), would show a lot of overlap. One of the rising stars in this overlap is our guest in this episode, the polymath Jacy Reese Anthis.Our discussion picks up themes from Jacy's 2018 book “The End of Animal Farming”, including an optimistic roadmap toward an animal-free food system, as well as factors that could alter that roadmap.We also hear about the work of an organisation co-founded by Jacy: the Sentience Institute, which researches - among other topics - the expansion of moral considerations to non-human entities. We discuss whether AIs can be sentient, how we might know if an AI is sentient, and whether the design choices made by developers of AI will influence the degree and type of sentience of AIs.The conversation concludes with some ideas about how various techniques can be used to boost personal effectiveness, and considers different ways in which people can relate to the EA community.Music: Spike Protein, by Koi Discovery, available under CC0 1.0 Public Domain DeclarationSome follow-up reading:https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/https://jacyanthis.com/

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: Unpacking "Shard Theory" as Hunch, Question, Theory, and Insight, published by Jacy Reese Anthis on November 16, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. I read several shard theory posts and found the details interesting, but I couldn't quite see the big picture. I'm used to hearing "theory" refer to a falsifiable generalization of data. It is typically stated as a sentence, paragraph, list, mathematical expression, or diagram early in a scientific paper. Theories range from extremely precise like Newton's three laws of motion to extremely broad like Frankish's consciousness illusionism (i.e., consciousness is an illusion). I have also been generally confused about what it means to "solve alignment" before AGI arrives given that there is not (yet) consensus around any pre-AGI formalization of the alignment problem itself: Wouldn't any proposed solution still have a significant number of people (say, >10% of Alignment Forum users) who think that it doesn't even pose the problem the right way? What should our "theories" even be aiming for? With help from Nathan Helm-Burger, I think I now better understand what's referred to as shard theory and want to share my understanding as an exercise in problem and solution formulation in alignment. I think "shard theory" refers to four sequential components: a Shard Hunch that motivates a two-part Shard Question, the first part of which is currently being answered by the gradual development of an actual Shard Theory of human values, which hopefully provides answers to the second part with Shard Insight that can be implemented in AI systems to facilitate alignment. Namely: Shard Hunch: A human brain is a general intelligences, and its intentions and behavior are reasonably aligned with its many shards of values (i.e., little bits of "contextual influences on decision-making"). Maybe something like that alignment can work for AI too! Shard Question: How does the human brain ensure alignment with its values, and how can we use that information to ensure the alignment of an AI with its designers' values? Shard Theory: The brain ensures alignment with its values by doing A, B, C, etc. Shard Insight: We can ensure the alignment of an AI with its designers' values by doing X, Y, Z, etc. mapped from shard theory. This is exciting! Now when I read shard theory research, I feel like I properly understand it as gradually filling in A, B, C, X, Y, Z, etc. For example, Assumptions 1, 2, and 3 in "The Shard Theory of Human Values" are examples of A, B, and C, and the two arguments in "Reward is Not the Optimization Target" and "Human Values & Biases are Inaccessible to the Genome" are examples of X and Y. I also think the specific idea of a "shard" is less central to these claims than I thought; it seems the first of those posts could parsimoniously replace "shard" with "value" (in the dictionary sense) with very little meaning lost, and the latter two posts don't even use the word. I wonder if something like "Brain-Inspired Alignment" would be a clearer label, at least until a central concept like shards emerges in the research. Shard research is also at a very early stage, so it is inevitably less focused on stating and validating the falsifiable, non-trivial claims that could be an actual shard theory (which is usually what we discuss in science) and instead seems to mostly be developing a language for eventually specifying shard theory—much like how Rubin's potential outcomes (POs) and Pearl's directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) were important developments in causality research because they allowed for the clear statement of falsifiable, nontrivial causal theories. Pope and Turner also use the terms "paradigm" and "frame," which I think are more fitting for what they have done so far than shard "theory" per se though less specific than "language." For ...

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: A central directory for open research questions, published by MichaelA on the effective altruism forum. Write a Review Quite wonderfully, there has been a proliferation of research questions EAs have identified as potentially worth pursuing, and now even a proliferation of collections of such questions. So like a good little EA, I've gone meta: this post is a collection of all such collections I'm aware of. I hope this can serve as a central directory to all of those other useful resources, and thereby help interested EAs find questions they can investigate to help inform our whole community's efforts to do good better. Some things to note: It may be best to just engage with one set of questions that are relevant to your skills, interests, or plans, and ignore the rest of this post. It's possible that some of these questions are no longer “open”. I've included some things that aren't explicitly written as collections of research questions, as long as research questions could very easily be inferred from them (e.g., from the problems people identify, or the posts people want written).

His acclaimed book, The End of Animal Farming (https://jacyanthis.com/book), analyzes the development & popularisation of food technologies such as plant-based & cultivated meat. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what's real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here​​​​​​ on YouTube. We discuss: 0:00 Welcome 1:26 Jacy's Intro Utilitarianism, Effective Altruism, Buddhism, neuroscience, community building, Animal Charity Evaluators, Sentience Institute, The End of Animal Farming, Sociology PhD & moral expansion. 3:22 What's Real? - Growing up around Baptist & Catholic churches near Houston but in an agnostic family - Attending church "lockins" - "I wasn't even told Santa was real growing up" - Interested in Buddhist views of suffering, but not the supernatural aspects - Naturalism has a connotation that there is nothing supernatural. "That's an empirical claim about which I remain uncertain" - Would multiverses, our universe being a simulation or pre-Big Bang history be seen as "supernatural"? - The varieties of religious identity: metaphysics, ethics, community 9:20 What Matters? - Moral heuristics & their conflicts - Adopting utilitarianism at 12 yrs old & looking for a "proof" - From moral realism to anti-realism (per Brian Tomasik) - It's up to us to decide which mental phenomenon to put in the "sentience" and "consciousness" categories - Objectivity, relativism, nihilism & arbitrariness - Even most religious people would act morally if there was no god - Rejecting "mind-independent" truth as the next step up from rejecting supernatural truths - Non-objective morality can still be compelling - Grounding morality in a concern for the experiences of others - The priority balance between reducing suffering vs. enhancing flourishing 18:20 Moral Scope & Expansion - Utilitarianism led to vegetarianism then veganism - Focusing initially on human issues, working at GiveWell - Cause prioritisation led back to non-human issues - Persuading sentiocentrists to be more effective & effective altruists to be sentiocentric - The bias against helping other species - Non-human animal causes can seem sentimental until you engage w/the arguments - Far future/long-termism - Effective Altruists have the highest veg*n % of almost any human group - Ancient roots of sentiocentrism/veganism & naturalism - "Everything has been said before" ...

In this episode, we talk with Jacy Reese Anthis about expanding the moral circle. Jacy is an animal rights activist and founder of the Sentience Institute. 

Spencer Case and Jacy Reese Anthis, a co-founder of the Sentience Institute, discuss effective altruism, vegan activism and debate whether strong moral convictions presuppose moral realism.

In Australia, vegan and animal liberation activism has recently become intense and disruptive, invading farms, restaurants, and city centers. They’re doing everything from rescuing animals to blocking traffic, and occupying steakhouses. Some argue that these new activists are needlessly victimizing innocent farmers, business owners, and consumers. Others argue that the activists are only doing what’s necessary to stand up for the innocent victims of farmers, business owners, and consumers. For any cause, when change does not seem to happen, or happen quickly enough, movements can turn to more confrontational styles of protests, or “uncivil disobedience.” Is this morally defensible, or is civility a must in any kind of protest?  Guest voices include Kimberley Brownlee, Chris Delforce, Candice Delmas, Lauren Gazzola, Paula Hough, David Jochinke, Joanne Lee, Brian Leiter, Clare McCausland, Tyler Paytas, Jacy Reese, Jeff Sebo, and Peter Singer.

This podcast is of a recent presentation given at the University of Tasmania.  "Reese will trace out a roadmap for how humanity is transitioning to the end of animal farming. The timeline has four stages: Foundation, Revolution, Stigmatization, and Follow-Through. Reese will trace out the most important developments of technological and social change in each of these stages, such as the advent of clean meat (real meat made without animal slaughter), a shift in outrage against factory farming alone to outrage against animal farming as a whole, and a shift from individual diet change (e.g. veganism) to a society-wide trend towards animal-free food production. The talk will also explore what in general makes social movements succeed and how the end of animal farming will spark fundamental changes in the human-animal relationship.Jacy is the author of the upcoming book, The End of Animal Farming, which illuminates humanity's upcoming transition to an animal-free food system. Jacy is the Research Director at Sentience Institute, a think tank researching the expansion of humanity's moral circle."Jacy Reese  http://jacyreese.com/Sentience Institute https://www.sentienceinstitute.org/
