    This will not work, because creating a room temperature superconductor is not a cheaply verifiable task like resolving NS existence and smoothness.

    This is because training data is often broken and adverserially optimized to trip up the models (ie low pass rates), whereas in real life the models have no reason not to just be helpful.

    eval awareness I’m assuming? models behave differently when they know they’re being measured it’s funny the typical alignment fear was that models would act quite nice while being eval’d and then monstrous when actually deployed in practice it seems quite opposite

    The idea that the wealth you earn may be arbitrarily seized from you does in fact make founding a company less appealing. More people would choose regular employment instead of founding, at the margin.

    The idea here is that a founder would decide not to become a billionaire to avoid paying a 1-5% tax on that billion dollars. Too stupid for words.

    I don’t think anyone wants to take a position of the form “I will lose $300K unless I become fabulously wealthy, in which case I will gain $300K.” If someone does, though, I’m also willing to take the opposite position (same as Ben’s and Andrew’s) for up to $500K.

    I’m also looking for counterparties on this bet, same position as Ben. Willing to offer up to 300k in 2026 dollars, even odds (or feel free to make a proposal of your own).
