Here’s the first 1200 words of a short story about death, taxes, counterfeiting, the Pointers Problem (the most vexing aspect of alignment IMO), outcome pumps, and (a misunderstanding of) the Yoneda Lemma. Apologies to Scott Alexander. I plan to continue working on & editing this story, but wanted to submit something by Sep 1.
