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: Live Theory Part 0: Taking Intelligence Seriously, published by Sahil on June 27, 2024 on LessWrong. Acknowledgements The vision here was midwifed originally in the wild and gentle radiance that is Abram's company (though essentially none of the content is explicitly his). The PIBBSS-spirit has been infused in this work from before it began (may it infuse us all), as have meetings with the Agent Foundations team at MIRI over the past ~2 years.

Published while at CEEALAR. Disclaimers Very occasionally there are small remarks/questions from a remarkable human named Steve, since this and the next two posts are an edited transcript of me giving him a talk. I left them in to retain the conversational tone. Steve has also consistently been a fantastic ground for this channeling. I use the term "artefact" a fair amount in this sequence. Unfortunately for you and me, Anthropic also recently started using "artifact" in a different way. I'm using "artefact" in the common sense of the word. The British spelling should help remind of the distinction. Taking Intelligence Seriously Sahil: I gave a talk recently, at an EA event just two days ago, where I made some quick slides (on the day of the talk, so not nearly as tidy as I'd like) and attempted to walk through this so-called "live theory". (Alternative terms include "adaptive theory" or "fluid theory"; where the theories themselves are imbued with some intelligence.) Maybe I can give you that talk. I'm not sure how much of what I was saying there will be present now, but I can try. What do you think? I think it'll take about 15 minutes. Yeah? Steve: Cool. Sahil: Okay, let me give you a version of this talk that's very abbreviated. So, the title I'm sure already makes sense to you, Steve. I don't know if this is something that you know, but I prefer the word "adaptivity" over intelligence. I'm fine with using "intelligence" for this talk, but really, when I'm thinking of AI and LLMs and "live" (as you'll see later), I'm thinking, in part, of adaptive. And I think that connotes much more of the relevant phenomena, and much less controversially. It's also less distractingly "foundational", in the sense of endless questions on "what intelligence means". Failing to Take Intelligence Seriously Right. So, I want to say there are two ways to fail to take intelligence, or adaptivity, seriously. One is, you know, the classic case, of people ignoring existential risk from artificial intelligence. The old "well, it's just a computer, just software. What's the big deal? We can turn it off." We all know the story there. In many ways, this particular failure-of-imagination is much less pronounced today. But, I say, a dual failure-of-imagination is true today even among the "cognoscenti", where we ignore intelligence by ignoring opportunities from moderately capable mindlike entities at scale. I'll go over this sentence slower in the next slide. For now: there are two ways to not meet reality. On the left of the slide is "nothing will change". The same "classic" case of "yeah, what's the big deal? It's just software." On the right, it's the total singularity, of extreme unknowable super-intelligence. In fact, the phrase "technological singularity", IIRC, was coined by Vernor Vinge to mark the point that we can't predict beyond. So, it's also a way to be mind-killed.

Listen in to this "Quick Bites" version of On The Grill, as Paul goes one on one with Matt from @farrbecue, for an in-depth Q&A with this must follow renaissance man.

Matt Farr talks to us on how he left a high-paying banking job to follow his real passions of mountaineering and exploration that finally led him to establish his own adventure travel company, Mountain Quests. He shares how being open to ideas and being a risk-taker helped him convert his true passion for adventure travel into a profitable business. Things we discuss How a holiday plan to Thailand landed him to a doctor and opened his eyes towards a whole new lifestyle What made him leave a high-paying banking job and establish an adventure travel company without any business plan How being open to ideas and being a risk-taker helped him find his true passion Learning to tread slowly and making sure that it’s a solid business Opening up to new kinds of clientele like schools Learning to be an entrepreneur through the power of relationship-building Working with your competitors and helping each other grow Why credibility and trust is the most important factor when it comes to convincing Being innovative when it comes to offering bespoke experiences Finding the right business partner at the right time Why seeking help is so important How investing in your skill and yourself is the best thing you can do Notable Moments (10:31) - I had the idea. I was presented with this opportunity and then I really had to learn how to set up a business and how to be an entrepreneur. Because from my entire life, going to school, going to work, I was molded into being an employee who is successful. Who works for a bis business, big company, a bank. And that’s my path. That’s what I was told by everyone is what you do in life. And I just accepted that. (13:40) - In a small business, you wear so many hats. And you have to explain that to people you hire. (17:02) - I love it! Students are different prospects to adults. So as an adult, we have been molded a certain way, either by ourselves or by society, and it’s much harder for us to break that mold. Whereas a child or a young adult, they are still open. They are still learning. They are still trying to find in the world and see things. So to watch a student have this transformation with their teachers and friends on this journey is very rewarding. (27: 14) - Gone are the days when people wanted to be sold to. Nowadays it’s all about sharing value. And that’s how we try to approach things. ------------- If you enjoyed this episode of Successful Marketing for Small Businesses in Dubai, check out the show notes on: https://www.abovedigital.com/podcast/ Follow Namita Ramani: https://www.instagram.com/namitaramani/ https://www.facebook.com/ramani.namita/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/namitaramani/ https://www.youtube.com/c/namitaramani Above Digital: https://www.abovedigital.com/

In the latest episode of the pod Ant and Amaechi are joined by guest host and resident GS PC gamer Matt Farr. We discuss the merits of multi-player modes in so many new games like Tomb Raider, Mass Effect 3 and the Last of Us.  News In this weeks news: The Steam sales provide many great bargains and becomes a mini games in itself with trading cards Crowd Funded space combot sim game Star Citizen gets Ant's money LoveFilm ends game rentals League of Legends Pro Gamers get athlete recognition in the US  The Oculus Rift VR headset is the real deal Micosoft ponders bringing back Family Game share feature Reviews In the reviews section we show some love to PC gaming with a review of Guild Wars 2 and we also review The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC.

Late?  What do you mean, late?  We've been here for ages, honest! (Okay, it's a fair cop - but better late than never, eh?) Once again the Geek Syndicate Network presents our annual array of panel games and silly banter. The First Lady of Scrolls starts things off with her version of Just A Minute, in which the contestants struggle to speak on a given topic without deviation, hesitation or repetition.  Clover's subjects range from grumpy dragons to horny time-travellers, while the clock ticks ever downwards.  You can practically hear the sweat. Next up is newcomer Tim Swann with Pointless, in which the contestants vie to find the most obscure but accurate answers.  For folk unfamiliar with the quiz show, think Family Fortunes in reverse.  Under the microscope are Firefly, Doctor Who, Star Trek and Star Wars. but what everybody really wants to know is how did Tim managed to split his brain in two? We follow up with chameleonic truths and outrageous lies as Dion chairs the classic game of Call My Bluff.  Each contestant presents three definitions of a word or phrase related to film, tv, radio, book, comic, or game.  Their opponents must ask them questions and try to work out the facts from the fibs.  Technical difficulties hit us at this point, but we've preserved most of the show. Finally, Matt Farr (the otherwise genial Grampus) dons his alter-ego as Lord Alan Sidious, weeding out the wastrels in his sour-faced search for the next Sith Apprentice.  The contestants each take on the role of a villain from anywhere in space and time, pitching their plans for domination to Lord Alan. Who will impress the Enterprising Emperor and who will be summarily executed? We lost Mr Ambler's game of Geeking Talk to gremlins, but two hours ought to be enough for you all. So, grab some nibbles, pop your party hat on and help us drain the last dregs of Christmas spirit as Dissecting Scrolls Solves Christmas! [Musical snatches come from Eddie Reader's album The Songs Of Robert Burns.  I think she's fab.  You should buy all her stuff.] Stay In Touch. You can follow most of the contestants on Twitter under the following monikers @thegrampus @Dion_Scrolls @Phlambler @tetrarchangel What do Points make?  Prizes! Sadly, we have no faith in our scoring systems, so the decision is YOURS.  Tell us who you think THE WINNER is. You have until the end of January to get your votes in as to who is the Overall Winner.  For impartiality, e-mail scrolls@hotmail.co.uk with the subject heading 'Dissecting Scrolls Champion.'  Tell us who you think deserves the bragging rights, and why. A voter will be chosen at random to win a prize. Deadline is 11:59 GMT Jan 31st 2013.

Welcome to the latest installment of Stacey's Pop Culture Parlour, in which Stacey is joined by fellow podcaster and all-round fun guy; Matt Farr of Dissecting Worlds! As a warning to those who haven't yet seen The Dark Knight Rises (why the chuff not?!); this episode contains a good half hour of reviewing on this, with a few tangents thrown in for good measure, containing some mild and some pretty whopping spoilage. Listen at your own peril! On top of all the Batman fun, Stacey and Matt have a good old chinwag about other nerd-tastic films, such as The Hunger Games, the Avengers and X-Men First Class, as well as a bunch of comics and TV chat too! Expect ruminations on Fables, Atomic Robo, Once Upon A Time, Doctor Who, Punk Rock Jesus and much more! PLEASE NOTE: There's a fair bit of spider talk, and Stacey takes no responsibility for potentially blowing out your eardrums when attacked by an evil arachnid during recording... Enjoy! Episode Theme - 'Ziggy Stardust' by David Bowie End Theme - 'Ladybug' by The Presidents of the United States of America

In which we focus in a little on the latest books that we've plucked from the top of our bookstacks.  In the absence of Mattie we are joined by 'The Grampus' a.k.a Matt Farr from Dissecting Worlds.  He kicks things off with Adrian Tchaikovsky's insect-themed fantasy, the Shadows of the Apt.  Clover follows this up with Juggernaut, an explosive zombie actioner by Adam Baker set in the Gulf conflict.  Next up, Phil tells us about Stacia Kane's stylish and grungy urban fantasy, Unholy Ghosts.  Dion then waxes lyrical about Jenny Nimmo's The Snow Spider, a beautiful children's fantasy with a tragic heart.  Finally Matt gives us a flavour of the prolific but oft under-appreciated weird fiction writer Clark Ashton Smith.  All of this is of course spiced with our usual blend of good humor and pettiness.Stay tuned also for Adam Baker's first recorded interview on Juggernaut, after the main programme.Feedback is always welcome.  You can post comments here on GS, e-mail us at scrolls@hotmail.co.uk or tweet us @scrollscast if you like.If you want to get personal you can send abuse to @phlambler or pedantic diatribes to @thegrampus.  @Dion_Scrolls is more partial to flattery or sponsorship deals from major ice-cream producers.  I'm just saying...Anyway, that's enough waffle.  Keep reading.
