lmfao at noted idiot Nick Bostrom standing in front of a whiteboard with “sqrt(n) < n” and a few nonsense logarithms on it like it makes him look smart
Presumably he scratched out log sqrt log x because someone told him that was the same as log log x
Nick Bostrom was inspired to write “Superintelligence” after he had a five minute conversation with an economist who got a B in Real Analysis and wondered “what if we could create something even smarter than this”
