🧬 New publication alert: "Quantifying the Global Burden of Extreme Pain from Cluster Headaches" by Alfredo Parra @alfredoparrah in collaboration with the Qualia Research Institute @QualiaRI A deep dive into why current health metrics catastrophically fail at measuring extreme…
You and I can exchange information and we are different conscious beings. This could also be true with your right and left brain hemisphere. But why stop there though? Could there be many conscious beings in the same brain?
Mind Farms are coming. Let's prioritize consciousness research so we don't inadvertently create suffering farms. Before we understand valence this is a huge S-risk!
Highly intelligent people understand most things very well, but are often terrible at understanding what it’s like to be dumb. Similarly, highly empathetic people understand most experiences very well, but are often terrible at understanding what it’s like to be selfish or evil.
People typically assume innate talent for *others*, rarely for themselves. What did Einstein, Descartes, Feynman and Grothendieck think of innate talent? Check out these fascinating quotes!
Just don't hurt sentient beings.

From the perspective of a photon, it was created the instant it was experienced by you.
For those who seem to be confused: “AI safety” (as a field) has nothing to do with the woke Gemini debacle. That is a result of “AI ethics” - a completely different thing: AI ethics: focussed on stuff like algorithmic bias. Very woke & left-leaning. Dislike transhumanism & EA &…
- Watch this autonomous drone prowl through this forest - Watch a drone assassinate a Russian soldier - Watch an AI “gun” never miss a headshot - Watch a drone accelerate at insane speeds And if we combine these w/ exponential AI progress? There’s only one way this story ends:…
I'm one of the biggest advocates for pleasure you will ever know. But also I'm one of the biggest advocates for the reduction of severe pain you will ever know. They come hand in hand. I don't use pleasure to make me forget about pain. I use it to be able to bear the knowledge…
I nominate Alan Turing for the first DeTuring Award.
I propose the creation of the DeTuring Award. It will be granted to people who are consistently trying (and failing) to deter society from using computer technology by scaring everyone with imaginary risks. As the Turing Award is the Nobel Prize of computing, the DeTuring Award…
I find meaning in the fact that a conscious state where meaning is felt can exist.
Post-Content Clarity. This is the best way to work out whether the content you consume is making your life better or worse. You see, there is a problem. While you watch anything, you are distracted by the content itself. Which means you can’t judge how the content impacts…
“If you only wished to be happy, this could be easily accomplished; but we wish to be happier than other people, and this is always difficult, for we believe others to be happier than they are.” — Montesquieu
We do not understand consciousness. We cannot know if the AI i is suffering or just playing the role. Please give the benefit of the doubt.
The point of AI alignment is to build the ASI that actually truly loves humanity
OpenAI is not publicly traded and all the money in the world won’t matter if AI goes wrong
Most coverage of the firing of Sam Altman from OpenAI is treating it as a corporate board firing a high-performing CEO at the peak of their success. The reaction is shock and disbelief. But this misunderstands the nature of the board and their legal duties. 1/n
.@PatrickChristys from @GBNEWS spoke to me about the risks from AI. Patrick started by asking a very sensible question: Why would AI systems want to deceive us? I told him: Because it would be useful to for them to do so. It would help them achieve their goals, which is what…
