But do they truly taste aspartame, or just behave as they do?
Nice! Might make sense suggest users they might want to estimate the inverse? (e.g. forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/SesLZf... ) Possibly you can detect if it's a similar case by asking Claude/Gemini, or they can provide recommendations in general? (e.g. "use lognormal")
Never made the connection, thanks for sharing, I think the story is better tbh!
Do you know why the METR evaluated GPT-5.1-max before Gemini 3? Mildly interesting if OpenAI shares their models with METR and DeepMind doesn't
Interesting that all LLMs fail this
This was a great one, thanks!
I'm always confused by the concept of preference falsification as used in the rat community. Does it include things like rehab/Alcoholics Anonymous meetings?

I wonder if the main effect is something like "there are a lot of rationalists, mental illness is more frequent than people think, and mentally ill people blame it on whatever their hobby/community is"
Is the mental illness rate in the rat community significantly higher than the population level?
If there are 10k males in the rat community, you should expect ~2.5 suicides a year, right? And for each of those, I guess you should expect ~20x more people who go crazy

www.quora.com/Why-are-NBA-... basketball people seem to say that pro games score more , which imho makes sense as the players are much better at making points and the field is much smaller compared to player size
Seems a bit inconsistent to use "goals" for soccer but not points for basketball. I expect elite basketball games to have more points

I was meaning to post why I'm skeptical that EA is net-negative for young people (I knew young suicidal ppl, none of them EA, they blamed random stuff, and plausibly would have blamed EA if they had been into that)
I kept delaying but CEA now posted this:
forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/mfQoEa...
what stuff?
Curious if that is what caused this change, or is it object-level stuff?
I don't know what Yudkowsky himself believes, but I think a minority of rationalists are worried about the basilisk or similar arguments (e.g. post-singularity Altman torturing simulations of all rationalists for having tried to slow him down)
At the risk of being blocked, I have met people at some rationalist meetup who believe in it, and I recommend reading the comments from Yudkowsky here www.reddit.com/r/LessWrong/...
Where is this from?
