These tags are filtered for quality. See the "All Tags" page [? · GW] for the unfiltered list.

Tagging is new and many key tags that should exist do not yet exist. If you think we have a clear omission, please contact us.

To assist with the new tagging system, see the Quick Guide to Tagging [LW · GW].

AI [? · GW]

Everything to do with the effects of advanced artificial intelligence on the world, especially ensuring the outcomes are good.

• AI Boxing (Containment) [? · GW]
• Factored Cognition [? · GW]
• Mesa-Optimization [? · GW]
• Orthogonality Thesis [? · GW]
• Value Learning [? · GW]
• Utility Functions [? · GW] (also #Rationality)
• Instrumental Convergence [? · GW]
• GPT-2 [? · GW]

Meta

• Research Agendas [? · GW] (not exclusively AI Alignment)

See also Forecasting & Predictions which contains AI-related forecasts.

Rationality [? · GW]

Thinking in ways that lead to true beliefs and optimal decisions. “Rationality” is used here specifically for content that relates to cognitive algorithms. 

Object-level stuff not directly about minds, e.g. practical advice, is clustered under World Modeling and Practical.

Formal / Theoretical

• Conservation of Expected Evidence [? · GW]
• Decision Theory [? · GW]
• Game Theory [? · GW]
• Solomonoff Induction [? · GW]
• Utility Functions [? · GW]
• Value of Information [? · GW]
• Robust Agents

Models of the Mind / Agents

• Perceptual Control Theory [? · GW]

Techniques & Skills

• Techniques [? · GW]
• Focusing [? · GW]
• Trigger Action Planning / Trigger Action Patterns [? · GW]
• Goal Factoring [? · GW] (also under #Practical)
• Hamming Questions [? · GW]
• Identity [? · GW]
• Betting [? · GW]
• Forecasting & Prediction [? · GW] (methodology)
• Forecasts [? · GW] (concrete predictions)
• Scholarship & Learning [? · GW]
• Replicability [? · GW] (see also #World Modeling)
• Dark Arts [? · GW] (also a Failure Mode)

Failure Modes

• Bucket Errors [? · GW]
• Compartmentalization [? · GW]

Communication / Argument

• Inferential Distance [? · GW]
• Information Cascades [? · GW]
• Steelmanning [? · GW]

Other

• Rationality Quotes [? · GW]

World Modeling [? · GW]

How the world is. Science. Math. Statistics. History. Biology. Sociology. Engineering. That kind of stuff.

Models that pertains to minds/thinking, how to improve the world or oneself, and AI are mostly excluded from this cluster. They can be found under the Rationality, World Optimization, and AI Alignment tags.

• Biology [? · GW]
• Causality [? · GW]
• Consciousness [? · GW] (also #Rationality)
• Economics [? · GW]
• Cost Disease [? · GW]
• History [? · GW]
• Machine Learning [? · GW]
• Probability & Statistics [? · GW]
• Programming [? · GW]
• Social Reality [? · GW]
• Fact Posts [? · GW]

Meta (see also #Rationality)

• Epistemic Review [? · GW]
• Replicability [? · GW]

See #Rationality and #World-Optimization for content on scholarship, learning [? · GW], and research.

World Optimization [? · GW]

Changing the world so that it’s better. Figuring what “better” is.

• Moloch [? · GW]
