ProjectLawful.com: Eliezer's latest story, past 1M words — LessWrong

So if you read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, and thought... …

“glowfic” apparently. written in a roleplay forum format.

This is not a story for kids, even less so than HPMOR. There is romance, there is sex, there are deliberately bad kink practices whose explicit purpose is to get people to actually hurt somebody else so that they’ll end up damned to Hell, and also there’s math.

start here. or don’t, of course.

    Interesting commentary on LessWrong

    I don’t think this would fit into the 2022 review. Project Lawful has been quite influential, but I find it hard to imagine a way its impact could be included in a best-of.

    Including this post in particular strikes me as misguided, as it contains none of the interesting ideas and lessons from Project Lawful, and thus doesn’t make any intellectual progress.

    One could try to do the distillation of finding particularly interesting or enlightening passages from the text, but that would be

    • A huge amount of work[1], but maybe David Udell’s sequence could be used for that.

    • Quite difficult for the more subtle lessons, which are interwoven in the text.

    I have nothing against Project Lawful in particular[2], but I think that including this post would be misguided, and including passages from Project Lawful would be quite difficult.

    For that reason, I’m giving this a -1.
