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: "AI Safety for Fleshy Humans" an AI Safety explainer by Nicky Case, published by habryka on May 3, 2024 on LessWrong. Nicky Case, of "The Evolution of Trust" and "We Become What We Behold" fame (two quite popular online explainers/mini-games) has written an intro explainer to AI Safety! It looks pretty good to me, though just the first part is out, which isn't super in-depth. I particularly appreciate Nicky clearly thinking about the topic themselves, and I kind of like some of their "logic vs. intuition" frame, even though I think that aspect is less core to my model of how things will go. It's clear that a lot of love has gone into this, and I think having more intro-level explainers for AI-risk stuff is quite valuable. === The AI debate is actually 100 debates in a trenchcoat. Will artificial intelligence (AI) help us cure all disease, and build a post-scarcity world full of flourishing lives? Or will AI help tyrants surveil and manipulate us further? Are the main risks of AI from accidents, abuse by bad actors, or a rogue AI itself becoming a bad actor? Is this all just hype? Why can AI imitate any artist's style in a minute, yet gets confused drawing more than 3 objects? Why is it hard to make AI robustly serve humane values, or robustly serve any goal? What if an AI learns to be more humane than us? What if an AI learns humanity's inhumanity, our prejudices and cruelty? Are we headed for utopia, dystopia, extinction, a fate worse than extinction, or - the most shocking outcome of all - nothing changes? Also: will an AI take my job? ...and many more questions. Alas, to understand AI with nuance, we must understand lots of technical detail... but that detail is scattered across hundreds of articles, buried six-feet-deep in jargon. So, I present to you: This 3-part series is your one-stop-shop to understand the core ideas of AI & AI Safety* - explained in a friendly, accessible, and slightly opinionated way! (* Related phrases: AI Risk, AI X-Risk, AI Alignment, AI Ethics, AI Not-Kill-Everyone-ism. There is no consensus on what these phrases do & don't mean, so I'm just using "AI Safety" as a catch-all.) This series will also have comics starring a Robot Catboy Maid. Like so: [...] The Core Ideas of AI & AI Safety In my opinion, the main problems in AI and AI Safety come down to two core conflicts: Note: What "Logic" and "Intuition" are will be explained more rigorously in Part One. For now: Logic is step-by-step cognition, like solving math problems. Intuition is all-at-once recognition, like seeing if a picture is of a cat. "Intuition and Logic" roughly map onto "System 1 and 2" from cognitive science.[1]1[2]2 ( hover over these footnotes! they expand!) As you can tell by the "scare" "quotes" on "versus", these divisions ain't really so divided after all... Here's how these conflicts repeat over this 3-part series: Part 1: The past, present, and possible futures Skipping over a lot of detail, the history of AI is a tale of Logic vs Intuition: Before 2000: AI was all logic, no intuition. This was why, in 1997, AI could beat the world champion at chess... yet no AIs could reliably recognize cats in pictures.[3]3 (Safety concern: Without intuition, AI can't understand common sense or humane values. Thus, AI might achieve goals in logically-correct but undesirable ways.) After 2000: AI could do "intuition", but had very poor logic. This is why generative AIs (as of current writing, May 2024) can dream up whole landscapes in any artist's style... yet gets confused drawing more than 3 objects. ( click this text! it also expands!) (Safety concern: Without logic, we can't verify what's happening in an AI's "intuition". That intuition could be biased, subtly-but-dangerously wrong, or fail bizarrely in new scenarios.)

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: Logical Line-Of-Sight Makes Games Sequential or Loopy, published by StrivingForLegibility on January 19, 2024 on LessWrong. In the last post, we talked about strategic time and the strategic time loops studied in open-source game theory. In that context, agents have logical line-of-sight to each other and the situation they're both facing, which creates a two-way information flow at the time each is making their decision. In this post I'll describe how agents in one context can use this logical line-of-sight to condition their behavior on how they behave in other contexts. This in turn makes those contexts strategically sequential or loopy, in a way that a purely causal decision theory doesn't pick up on. Sequential Games and Leverage As an intuition pump, consider the following ordinary game: Alice and Bob are going to play a Prisoners' Dilemma, and then an Ultimatum game. My favorite framing of the Prisoners' Dilemma is by Nicky Case: each player stands in front of a machine which accepts a certain amount of money, e.g. $100.[1] Both players choose simultaneously whether to put some of their own money into the machine. If Alice places $100 into the machine in front of her, $200 comes out of Bob's machine, and vice versa. If a player withholds their money, nothing comes out of the other player's machine. We call these strategies Cooperate and Defect respectively. Since neither player can cause money to come out of their own machine, Causal Decision Theory (CDT) identifies Defect as a dominant strategy for both players. Dissatisfaction with this answer has motivated many to dig into the foundations of decision theory, and coming up with different conditions that enable Cooperation in the Prisoners' Dilemma has become a cottage industry for the field. I myself keep calling it the Prisoners' Dilemma (rather than the Prisoner's Dilemma) because I want to frame it as a dilemma they're facing together, where they can collaboratively implement mechanisms that incentivize mutual Cooperation. The mechanism I want to describe today is leverage: having something the other player wants, and giving it to them if and only if they do what you want. Suppose that the subsequent Ultimatum game is about how to split $1,000. After the Prisoners' Dilemma, a fair coin is flipped to determine Alice and Bob's roles in the Ultimatum game. The evaluator can employ probabilistic rejection to shape the incentives of the proposer, so that the proposer has the unique best-response of offering a fair split. (According to the evaluator's notion of fairness.) And both players might have common knowledge that "a fair split" depends on what both players did in the Prisoners' Dilemma. If Alice is the evaluator, and she Cooperated in the first round but Bob Defected, then she is $200 worse-off than if Bob had Cooperated, and she can demand that Bob compensate her for this loss. Similarly, if Alice is the proposer, she might offer Bob $500 if he Cooperated but $300 if he Defected. Since Bob only gained $100 compared to Cooperating, his best-response is to Cooperate if he believes Alice will follow this policy. And Bob can employ the same policy, stabilizing the socially optimal payoff of ($600, $600) as a Nash equilibrium where neither has an incentive to change their policy. Crucially, this enforcement mechanism relies on each player having enough leverage in the subsequent game to incentivize Cooperation in the first round. If the Ultimatum game had been for stakes less than $200, this would be less than a Defector can obtain for themselves if the other player Cooperates. Knowing that neither can incentivize Cooperation, both players might fall back into mutual Defection. Bets vs Unexploitability Even if Alice knows she has enough leverage that she can incentivize Bob to Cooperate, she might be uncert...

"Siamo ciò che guardiamo - modelliamo i nostri strumenti e poi gli strumenti modellano noi" si apre con questa citazione (approsimata) di Marshall McLuhan il videogioco di cui vi parlo oggi, un giochino che dura pochi minuti e che ci fa riflettere su come le cose che guardiamo finiscano poi per influenzare i nostri pensieri. Vi invito a giocare.LINKQui potete giocare al giocohttps://ncase.itch.io/wbwwbTESTO TRASCRITTO (English below)"We become what we behold", diventiamo quello che guardiamo è un mini gioco che si fa gratuitamente sul computer, dall'inizio alla fine dura poco meno di 5 minuti. Ha un paio di cose un paio di caratteristiche e per questo ve ne voglio parlare. È un gioco semplicissimo: quando si schiaccia 'play', gioca, appare uno schermo con dei personaggi, alcuni con la testa quadrata alcuni con la testa rotonda, e con il mouse possiamo cliccare e fare praticamente una foto di una porzione dello schermo che di volta in volta avrà dentro dei personaggi con la testa tonda con la testa quadrata, e i personaggi all'inizio sono felici e contenti, poi man mano che va avanti il gioco cominciano a litigare tra loro e alla fine c'è 'SPOILER ALERT', c'è un massacro eccetera. All'inizio del video, che tra l'altro è stato creato da Nicky Case con un programma 'open source' che lui invita tutti a riutilizzarlo, a tradurlo, infatti è stato tradotto in molte lingue anche l'italiano, a utilizzarlo come meglio la gente crede, e quindi lo invita proprio, è una riflessione su quello che noi guardiamo, su come quello che noi guardiamo sul computer o alla televisione poi finisce per influenzare il modo in cui noi pensiamo e il modo in cui noi reagiamo, e la sua particolarità è che non è per niente un videogioco raffinato dal punto di vista del design, dal punto di vista del tratto, però una volta che si inizia a giocarlo, anche grazie ai rumori che si sentono è abbastanza immersivo, e questi personaggi che sono disegnati in modo molto rudimentale, proprio come disegnano i bambini coi bastoncini e coi cerchietti, un po' ci si affeziona e un po' dispiace quando poi il gioco comincia a diventare quello che... va beh si sapeva dall'inizio che sarebbe finita male. Ma ci sono anche poi degli altri messaggi, ogni volta che si scatta una foto, diciamo così, con il mouse che si riprende una porzione dello schermo, se si fa la foto a qualcosa che non è una cosa violenta, appare il messaggio 'beh fai le foto quando succede qualcosa di interessante non fare foto dove non succede niente'. No, dicevo che è una riflessione interessante, metterò il link nelle note al programma, vi invito ad andare a esplorare, ripeto c'è anche in italiano, ma anche in inglese si capisce benissimo anche perché vi ho spiegato un po' di cosa si tratta. Son curiosa se qualcuno va a giocare magari che poi mi dica se gli è piaciuto.Versione con i sottotitoli in inglese / with English subtitles https://youtu.be/PVJQDY7ohuAENGLISH TRANSLATION"We become what we behold" is a mini game that is played for free on the computer, from start to finish it lasts just under 5 minutes. It has a couple of things a couple of features and that's why I want to tell you about it. It is a very simple game: when you press 'play', a screen with characters appears, some with a square head, some with a round head, and with the mouse we can click and basically take a screenshot of a portion of the screen that from time to time will have characters with a round head and with a square head inside, and the characters at the beginning are happy and content, then as the game goes on they start arguing with each other and in the end there is 'SPOILER ALERT' there is a massacre and so on. At the beginning of the video, which by the way was created by Nicky Case with an 'open source' program and he invites everyone to reuse it, to translate it, in fact it has also been translated into many languages, including Italian, he invites to use it as people see fit to, it is a reflection on what we watch, on how what we watch on the computer or on television ends up influencing the way we think and the way we react, and its peculiarity is that it is not at all a refined video game from the point of view of design, from the point of view of the stroke, but once you start playing it, also thanks to the sounds you hear, it is quite immersive, and these characters who are drawn in a very rudimentary way, just like children draw with sticks and circles, we get a little fond and we are a little sorry when then the game turns into... well you know from the beginning that it is going to end in tears. But there are also other messages, every time you take a picture, let's say, with the mouse taking a screenshot, if you take the picture of something that is not something violent, a message appears 'take pictures when something interesting happens don't take pictures in which nothing happens'. As I was saying, it is an interesting reflection, I will put the link in the notes to the program, I invite you to go and explore, as I said, there is also an Italian version, but it's easy to understand in English too, also because I told you what is it about. I'm curious if someone has a go playing, let me know if you liked it.

Jonathan and Jeff continue their discussion about the name of this very podcast by talking about the idea of the Subject, but not before trying to discern their apostolic succession to famous philosophers of the past. (It is a bit of a stretch, actually.) But once they get back on to that topic, they explore where philosophy gets the necessary kick in its pants to dig into the subject of the Subject, especially via the Masters of Suspicion (Marx, Freud, and Nietzsche). (The discussion of this term raises questions surrounding Paul Ricoeur's idea of the hermeneutics of suspicion vs the hermeneutics of generosity). In the second half of the podcast, Jeff and Jonathan start to dig into some of Julia Kristeva's contributions to the Subject along with other psychoanalytical concepts, such as "the mirror stage," Lacan's typology of the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real, Kristeva's idea of "the semiotic" and "the symbolic," and ultimately "the subject of enunciation" (that tries to explain and position itself in the world symbolically) and "the subject-in-process" (that is constantly being constrained and unable to express itself in its entirety clearly in language). They likely overly (and unfairly) merge Lacan's and Kristeva's thought, particularly with regards to the Real. As they slow their roll on this, though, they begin to ask whether it's absolutely necessary for the Real to be horrific, or whether the Real could be experienced as a miracle and how the Real might be a sign of hope. (Although they do not discuss Kristeva's idea of "abjection".) Jeff and Jonathan also mull the following competition for listeners: Write a short story of 500 words or less that describes what happens when Martin Heidegger, Owen Barfield, and Jean-Paul Sartre look at a tree.

Nicky Case’s presentations are as ingenious, compelling, and graphically rich as the visualizing tools and games Nicky creates for understanding complex dynamic systems. Case writes: “We need to see the non-linear feedback loops between culture, economics, and technology. Not only that, but we need to see how collective behavior emerges from individual minds and motives. We need new tools, theories, and visualizations to help people talk across disciplines.” Nicky Case is the creator of Parable of the Polygons (02014), Coming Out Simulator (02014), We Become What We Behold (02016), To Build A Better Ballot (02016), and LOOPY (02017).

We have Nicky Case on the show to talk about "explorable explanations," interactive simulations that help people understand complex issues.
