| | | | | Suffering risks, or s-risks, are "risks of events that bring about suffering in cosmically significant amounts" (Althaus and Gloor 2016).1 This article will discuss why the reduction of s-risks could be a candidate for a top priority among altruistic causes aimed at influencing the long-term future. The number of sentient beings in the future might be astronomical, and certain cultural, evolutionary, and technological forces could cause many of these beings to have lives dominated by severe suffering.

| | | | | Artificial intelligence has made incredible progress in the last decade, but in one crucial aspect, it still lags behind the theoretical computer science of the 1990s: namely, there is no essay describing five potential worlds that we could live in and giving each one of them whimsical names. In other words, no one has done... | |

| | | [AI summary] The article discusses the development of computational simulations to model meditative cessations and peak 5-MeO-DMT experiences. It introduces three key simulations: (1) Gestalt Detector, which explores how specific points of view interact with our ability to detect gestalts, modulating scene fabrication through the Near Miss parameter. (2) Standing Wave Pattern Across Multiple Fields, which allows comparison of emergent resonant modes in coupled oscillators using Coupling Kernels and switches between 3D and 2D distance functions, hypothesizing that cessations occur when waves travel identically regardless of distance function. (3) Fractal Recursive Coherence, which models recursive projections between sensory fields to create synesthetic const... | ||
