Small-Scale Question Sunday for January 7, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Yeah, I was in the same boat.

I think the main concerns would be AIs that are more directly trained for things, like AlphaZero (but then, we do need to consider whether it's more that they are trained into a set of habits/intuitions or something, rather than goals that they rationally optimize for), or, as you said, turning them into agents. Which, unfortunately, there will probably be substantial incentives to do at some point.
