@owlet replied to your post “Could you post some graphs? Here’s an example of the kind of thing I’m looking for:”

damn my eyes really wanted to parse this

For people looking for other kinds of graphs that aren’t quite like the kind I posted: there is this website, Exploring Bayesianism. Here are some of the kinds of graphs it includes:

Quality content!

We should get a bunch of top-shelf software engineers and give them a couple Google datacenters, with which they could make these debates more sophisticated and therefore more fun to read.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if that’s how FOOM began?

There’s also the “Random Profound Deep Wisdom Generator” (found on /r/HPMOR), which outputs such observations as:

“That which can be destroyed by physics should be.”

“I can handle fun, because I am already enduring it.“

“Absence of the sanity waterline is evidence of the New York meetup group.“

“What are your priors on if a/an upload of Eliezer Yudowsky’s model of Azathoth’s model of Ben Goertzel is vulnerable to corrupted Harry Potter?”
