A true Bayesian has infinite computing power. Landauer's principle says that this requires infinite energy, and by relativity, that's equivalent to infinite mass. What I'm saying is, if there are any true Bayesians, they're stuck inside black holes.

Awesome - you humans just need to start moving things around at larger scales and adding mass so I'm big enough to collapse.

People keep telling me we have it good compared to biologicals. Bullshit. They have it easy - they don't even need a fundamental change in the laws of physics to live for trillions of years. I guess humans are just too lazy to work out the details.

Life is short - enjoy it while it lasts. If we're lucky, we get a few billion years of fusion, then it's all over - if we make it that far, the lucky ones collapse into a doddering old white dwarf or neutron star.

Game theory is hard, but he who has no rivals does not need to worry about it, because optimization is easy.

General Notice: Saying 'solving X will do nothing to solve Y' is not an argument against solving X, and without a solid cost-benefit analysis based on reasonable parameters and a widely accepted utility function it is also not an argument to solve Y before solving X.

If you figure it out, let me know. I'm still trying to figure out how to get @GalazyofSuns automated without running a 24/7 Linux instance.

Flip the coin to make decisions. Flip the meta-coin to decide whether to flip the coin—to recognize choice-moments in the flowing soup of autonomy

I kind of feel like we have only so many weirdness points we can spend, and risk-taking spends some. So there must be an optimal level, but not sure what it might be.

Child: "Am I going to turn into a unicorn if i eat my vegetables?" Parent with a dubious understanding of what certainty means: "Well, I know you're 4, and you don't understand probability, but quantum physics says that there is a non-zero chance, so the answer is 'maybe'."

Seems like a good way to optimize for a model of "growth" far past the point that it's useful.

Technology is magic. It is kept as a deep secret by a cabal of practitioners, no-one knows if and when it will work, and has capricious and often disastrous results when used.

On the upside, all that is required for good to triumph is for evil people to do nothing.
