Pause Dice

Creating a unique and memorable handout that will remind people of PauseAI and not get thrown away.

Bulk dice (100) are less than 8 cents each, and bulk stickers (300) are less than 4 cents each.

The thought is that the risk of AI doom is about 1/6, and dice are a good reminder of that. They also never get thrown away.

I feel like this is saying "there's 1 on 6 chances of getting a pause" which is a random thing to say and probably not what you had in mind}

I mean, I can make one with a nuclear explosion

Or a skull

Maybe some of the faces could be pause, and some could be AI explosion? That makes it not much of a die, though, in terms of actual utility.

I could - I just think those would be harder to push onto people because it's clearly not useful to them if multiple sides are covered or the dice are blank.

The AI explosion is the most important one, because it implies the 1/6 chance of doom. The logo not being in the dice is less important, because you aren't advocating the group, you are advocating awareness on the X-Risk of AI with this sort of incentive. Very well done

Okay, I've swapped the logo with the explosion, and I've drafted some business cards to go along with them. We'll see how this goes in a few weeks.

After I put stickers on hundreds of dice

Like Russian Roulette, there is something visceral about the similarly 1/6 dice metaphor.

Google define:dicey
adjective INFORMAL
"unpredictable and potentially dangerous"

popular-magentaOP•6/27/24, 2:30 PM

Yeah. I'll also probably joke somewhere that there's a 1/6 chance we all die.

colossal-harlequin•6/28/24, 8:02 AM

"Hey. Do you want a die?"

popular-magentaOP•7/25/24, 9:57 PM

Okay, this project (dice plus business card) was REALLY successful at connecting with tech-focused people at a mixer. Still don't know whether the public will be as interested, but we'll see on Wednesday.

colossal-harlequin•7/26/24, 8:23 AM

Cool! Interested to hear your reports on both.

@HydraandSeek Now I'd love to get some of these dice.

Is this something you can ship to me, or some instructions for creating them myself?

popular-magentaOP•1/24/25, 1:09 AM

Yeah, I can ship you some. DM me an address and you should have it before the end of the month.
