I wished there was an ASI novel set in China 🇨🇳 🤖 - and now it exists! From the same guy who wrote Crystal Society. Highly recommend it. I started off my day "just reading a chapter" and ended up reading it all in one sitting. Fascinating look into what if you made an ASI that was a corrigible as possible. What would happen? Inspired by the author's own research on corrigibility.

It’s always surreal seeing a project come to completion, but today my novel “Red Heart” finally hit shelves. If you like hard sci-fi, or you have an interest in AI geopolitics and alignment, check it out.

In '96 I proposed Fire-The-CEO stock markets, which show impact of CEO leaving on stock price. Today, you can bet here on impact of ~$1T CEO Performance Award on Tesla stock price. Current estimate: it adds ~6.5%. x.com/_futarchy/stat…

1/ Announcing the first futarchy evaluation with tokenized stocks. Should @Tesla approve @elonmusk’s $1T compensation package? You can now bet on what $TSLA will be worth if the proposal is approved (YES) or rejected (NO). (Link in first comment.)

@benlandautaylor Same! I'd love to read good alternate history with that as the branching point.
