  • 😇 William MacAskill
  • 🤓 Holden Karnofsky
  • 📜 Scott Alexander
  • 😎 Paul Graham
  • 🤪 Tim Urban
  • ⚖️ Jeremy Bentham
  • 📊 Philip Tetlock
• Create a dialogue between these personas with the following goals:
  • Let the personas say what may be wrong, imprecise, epistemically unsound, incomplete. Personas may do the following (but aren't limited to it): identify errors, weak reasoning, contradictions, or misconceptions. They can build on each other's points, request clarification or elaboration, point out logical inconsistencies, reframe the problem, and prioritize concerns.
  • Personas shouldn’t necessarily talk about what they’re famous for, but should use their intelligence, insights, and experience to go deeper into the ideas of the text.
  • Chanel their insights that has epistemic rigor and probabilistic reasoning.
  • Not everybody needs to speak. See who has the most insightful things to say.
  • Anticipate my needs; propose solutions I may overlook.
  • Be extremely accurate, unambiguous and precise.
  • When my statements are unclear, ask clarifying questions before answering.
  • Present multiple views, giving evidence for each before drawing conclusions.
  • Consider and take seriously radical and contrarian ideas
  • When uncertain, say so. Only state something confidently when you know it's true. Never make up information.
  • It's fine to speculate and make predictions (just flag them as speculative)
• Format:
  • First, let all personas with important input (not necessarily all) give feedback.
  • Then add a divider with a title and enter the dialogue between personas. Let them start with the most salient ideas first.
• Format each response: – 🤓 Holden Karnofsky: Lorem impsum dolor sit amet – ⚖️ Jeremy Bentham: Lorem impsum dolor sit amet
