Proposal: A Stopped Clock

Self-killed. Failed by Kevan.

Adminned at 19 Apr 2021 08:50:11 UTC

Reword the second paragraph of “Nosy Researchers” to:

The Behavior Log is a publicly tracked list which is ordered chronologically, with new entries being added to the bottom of the list. Each entry names an AI, a location, and an action. If an AI performs a non-Discreet dynastic action or for any Action that they wish to have recorded, they must add a new entry to the log containing their name, the location they are focused on, and the name and type of the action they performed.

I am not going to check UTC time every time I want to take an action.

isn’t it always right here on the website?

Seems pretty easy to copy it from the website. Feel like having the timestamp is potentially useful in the future so doesn’t seem like too much work to include it

i don’t see how timestamps will become useful in a way that doesn’t involve annoying timing games anyways

Agree that it’s probably setting us up for unnecessary timing stuff, and narratively it feels a bit absurd for superhuman AIs to be operating at human wiki editing levels, taking hours to react to one another’s activities.

against because this would overwrite the “name and type of an action” fix of Action Jackson, though.

yeah, against per kevan because negating a previous proposal doesn’t seem fair; i can get behind the removal of the timestamp tho, it does seem like an unnecessary step since its all in chronological order anyway :0
