The AI Does Not Hate You: Superintelligence, Rationality and the Race to Save the World by Tom Chivers
4.0
A previous review mentioned that Gwern makes a cameo. TBH, this was what I was most excited about because he seems like a fascinating character who I'd like to learn more about. Unfortunately, he was only mentioned once, so I didn't learn anything about him. I already knew most of the content of this book, but here's the few things which were new to me:
* A disproportionate number of Tetlock's superforcasters came from Lesswrong
* Story about a rationalist woman who is considering having a baby, so starts carrying a robot baby around to get a sense of what the disruptions to her life would be like so she can make a more informed decision.
* Strategy for efficiently splitting bills: randomly generate a number from 0 to the total, then run a cumulative sum down the bill, and whoevers meal is on the random number has to pay for everything. Thus only one person pays and on average you pay for what you order.
