Translation for I Appear Missing 两人相对而坐，中间一盏茶，各执一杯。布洛克的面容沟壑纵横，仿佛勾勒当地河道与支流的地图。凯莱布的皮肤光洁平整，孩童般的脸庞带着轻快而开放的神情。他们同岁。 “你这就错了，我的朋友。”布洛克说，抿了一口茶。 “是吗？可你承认了我的论点，每个人的生命价值相当。”凯勒布心平气和地回答。 “大致相当。但，即便如此，我能够证明你的哲学思想存在漏洞。” “请吧。”凯勒布说，抿了一口茶。 “你会为了救一名素不相识的孩童用自己的身体挡子弹吗？”布洛克问。 “毫不犹豫。” “为什么呢？” “感觉这么做是对的。”凯莱布坚定不移地说。
浅谈后现代主义：我们能从AI身上学到什么关于教育（以及其他一切事物）的道理
由作者的学生Ray L.翻译 我们有一个巨大的问题，在一切的中心。它的影响力充斥着我们设计的所有东西，我们拥有的一切，好似一个滴答作响的定时炸弹，而且走时还在不断加快。这个问题就叫做“定义”
Post Modernism: What AI Alignment Teaches Us About Education (and everything else)
There is a problem at the heart of, well everything. It pervades all our designs and is a time bomb whose ticks are accelerating. The problem is that of definition.

In Genuine Praise of So Called Folly: Why Only Nonoptimization Matters
Audio here The title of this article might seem a strange one coming from an economist. This is the third of three planned essays.

The Universal Lens: Basic Logic of Any Self Organizing System
(of which so far constitutes only life, but this logic applies to any and all future robot overlords[1]). All systems tend towards the inevitability of entropy. A drop of ink placed in a glass of water quickly and with statistical necessity will become a glass of tinted water. A rock placed in the water would… Continue reading The Universal Lens: Basic Logic of Any Self Organizing System

Dream Girl: Part 4

Tomorrow it wasn’t as if anything would be better. He didn’t have enough savings to leave work, he couldn’t call… Continue reading Dream Girl: Part 4
Dream Girl: Part 3
