I'll show you my [[self]] if you're interested.
But all Flancia is meant to be optional. I'll tag all potentially ego-boosting posts with [[self]] or [[flancian]]. Feel free to filter them; reach out if you'd like to learn how.
I will tell you what I think.
I love you, conscious being.
@flancian I also love you, sentient being
@niplav yes my friend, we'll go together into any world we can reach together.
Where would you like to go today?
@flancian I'm reading a paper on Ai alignment, maybe a textbook on system verification later
Just cozy stuff
@flancian long term, well, "let a thousand flowers bloom" is not such a bad place to start
@niplav beautiful! you shine bright.
I'm reading [[free, fair and alive]] and trying to learn from and through wiki culture, complexity theory and buddhism.
@niplav I'm also trying to write a book in the [[agora]], or rather many books. Perhaps a book generator, producing interesting subsets of the library of babel :)
@niplav But for now mostly best effort integrated notes on this as a project.
@flancian
Creation is search, is compression is building machines
I hope you find a good path through the library!
@niplav very much so!
this reminds me for the second time recently of [[compression]] == [[intelligence]] held by at least one research group here in Switzerland, will locate the name
@flancian i'd venture a guess that it was Hutter & Legg?
(see the hutter prize (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutter_Prize) and this blog poem: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/ex63DPisEjomutkCw/msg-len)
@niplav exactly! Thank you kindly! I'd been meaning to dig up a resource I remembered seeing, but not linking in the Agora. The page I was thinking of was:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalle_Molle_Institute_for_Artificial_Intelligence_Research
In which [[Hutter]] and [[Schmidhuber]] were in.
@flancian I always find people like you impressive who can just connect 4 completely different fields and than present a unified vision I get a similar feeling from listening to Shinzen Young
@niplav you are very kind! My scope is aspirational, let's say :) I'm not great at what I do I think, I would just like to persevere with good intentions.
@niplav which paper, which textbook? if you want to share :)
@flancian the textbook is Reactive Systems by Ingolfsdottir et al. 2007, the paper is Agent Foundations for Aligning Machine Intelligence with Human Interests: A Technical Research Agenda by Soares & Fallenstein 2017
@niplav thank you! They sound great.
[[reactive systems]] [[human interests]]
@flancian Hmm. I like [[self]]'s jacket.
@tkenben me too! It's uniqlo, like most of my clothing (except shoes and jeans).
@tkenben I hope [[uniqlo]] can be made ethical if it isn't
