I really like you're putting up your proposal for all to read. It lets stumps like me learn a lot. So, thanks for showing it!


You asked for some ideas about things you want clarity on. I can't help you yet, but I'd like to ask some questions first, if I can.
Some about the technical implementation and some more to do with the logic behind your proposal.

First some technical questions:
1) What if the original AI is not some recurrent 'thinking' AI using compute steps, but something that learns a single function mapping from input to output? Like a neural net us... (read more)

I think the proposal is not to force the AI to funnel all its state through the human, but instead to make the human-simulation available as extra computing resources that the most-effective AIs should take advantage of.

tl;dr as of 18/2/2022
The goal is to educate me and maybe others. I make some statements, you tell me how wrong I am (please).

After input from P. (many thanks) and an article by Paul Christiano this statement stands yet uncorrected:

In the worst case, the internal state of the predictor is highly correlated within itself and multiple mappings with zero loss from the internal state to the desired extraction of information exist. The only solution is to work with some prior belief about how the internal state maps to the desired information. But as by design o... (read more)
