“Optimistic Assumptions, Longterm Planning, and ‘Cope’” by Raemon

  • Resumen

  • Eliezer Yudkowsky periodically complains about people coming up with questionable plans with questionable assumptions to deal with AI, and then either:

    • Saying "well, if this assumption doesn't hold, we're doomed, so we might as well assume it's true."
    • Worse: coming up with cope-y reasons to assume that the assumption isn't even questionable at all. It's just a pretty reasonable worldview.
    Sometimes the questionable plan is "an alignment scheme, which Eliezer thinks avoids the hard part of the problem." Sometimes it's a sketchy reckless plan that's probably going to blow up and make things worse.
