welcome to my web site
hi i’m hill, i don’t pull the lever in the trolley problem and i cooperate in the prisoner’s dilemma, i don’t negotiate with terrorists and i don’t respond to blackmail.
sometimes i try to solve the wrong problems using the wrong methods based on a wrong model of the world derived from poor thinking and unfortunately all of my mistakes fail to cancel out, until i say “ooops” and update my world model, improve my methods and try to figure out what problems actually need solving, then and only then have i learned and improved
like any good truthseeker i try to nourish whatever is nourished by the truth and i try to destroy whatever is destroyed by the truth
as you may or may not have guessed from the text above i am a big fan of rationalism and effective altruism
if you aren’t familiar with either of those communities maybe you should read https://intelligence.org/the-problem/ or https://www.readthesequences.com/. i think this is actually very important. inspiration for the text above was taken from https://thetetra.space/ and to avoid repeating her, maybe you should just read what she has to say on her front page.
i also realize that this is a blog, but it’s not a particularly good one, like most writers i look back on my previous writing with disdain, but i actually have good reason to.
better writers are:
Joe Carlsmith, who’s writing you can read or listen to, I recommend listening to him, his series otherness in the age of agi is fantastic and when he gets emotional reading it, so did i.
Eliezer Yudkowsky, i particularly recommend Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality and Yehuda, both texts made me cry multiple times.
Scott Alexander, he cleared up a lot of muddy thoughts i had, i’d be a less coherent thinker without his essays, still i struggle with thinking coherently.
Ursula K. LeGuin.
at this point I wish to say thank you to everyone who is my friend, everyone who’s writing i’ve enjoyed, thank you to everyone who’s helped me get this far, thank you my estrella, my sol.
