Happy Ozone Day!
The Montreal Protocol, a universally ratified treaty phasing out the use of ozone-destroying CFCs, was signed 37 years ago today.

in reply to: Arturo Macias’s comment on: The Common Sense View on Meat Implies Some Pretty Radical Conclusions
Even assuming cows and egg-laying hens live equally bad lives (egg-laying hens have it far worse), from one hen you can get about 40,000 calories worth of eggs—from one cow it’s 500,000 calories of beef (rough calculations). I’d definitely say buying eggs is far worse than buying beef.

Excited to give this a listen!

Just FYI, the YouTube link at the bottom of your website doesn’t work for me.

How much of an AGI’s self improvement is reliant on it training new AIs?

If alignment is actually really hard, wouldn’t this AGI realise that and refuse to create a new (smarter) agent that will likely not exactly share its goals?
