Welcome to the Future of FHI Institute! FHI: Future of Humanity Institute, a marvellous research group, 2005-2024. https://www.futureofhumanityinstitute.org/ I (Lydia) fell in love with mathematical modeling after reading 'The Unilateralist’s Curse', got a lot out of skimming 'Whole Brain Emulation', & am still working out how to reconcile 'Astronomical Waste' with the rest of my world. I'm interested in the impact such readings can have on our work and our lives. I think lots in them are mind-bending / mind-expanding. And I heard a good success criterion recently -- 'to have ideas we wouldn't just talking to an LLM.’ Also — we are aiming for this to be a small, experimental group. Who knows what the future holds! We'll discuss the readings below over (vegan) dinner. Looking forward to seeing you! Week One: Anthropics - Anthropic Shadow: Observation Selection Effects and Human Extinction Risks https://nickbostrom.com/papers/anthropicshadow.pdf - Are You Living in a Computer Simulation? https://simulation-argument.com/simulation
