Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Formalizing the Informal (event invite), published by abramdemski on September 11, 2024 on LessWrong.
Formalizing the Informal
One way to view MIRI's Agent Foundations research is that it saw the biggest problem in AI safety as "human preferences are informal, but we need to somehow get formal guarantees about them" -- and so, in response, it set out to make a formal-informal bridge.
Recently, I've been thinking about how we might formally represent the difference between formal and informal. My prompt is something like: if we assume that classical probability theory applies to "fully formal" propositions, how can we generalize it to handle "informal" stuff?
I'm going to lead a discussion on this tomorrow, Wednesday Sept. 11, at 11am EDT (8am Pacific, 4pm UK).
