/* 1. Following Gelman et al., I model the vote margin as a normal distribution 1.1. NB: I don't think primary elections are actually well modeled as having normally distributed vote margins? Often there is one very distant frontrunner. But maybe highly contested primaries are well modeled like this and this will be a highly contested primary? caveat emptor 2. Dollars per vote: I loosely based this on a document from Dan Eth about Jay Shooster's campaign but kind of made it up. Better numbers appreciated 3. Primary: 3.1 Default odds of winning: 40%, per Jay Shooster 3.2 Sd of margin: made up by me saying it will be 10% of total votes 4. General: 4.1 Default odds of winning: Jay suggests that the democrat will win this district iff democrats control the house, and probability for the latter is currently ~75% on prediction markets 4.2 Sd of margin: last year was 2.5k, so I vaguely guessed 5k

/* This model compares the expected impact on future AIs' values from two interventions: 1. Conventional animal activism — persuading people to care more about farm animals / eat less meat 2. Creating a friendliness-to-animals LLM benchmark and advocating for AI companies to use it in post-training. My numbers are intentionally overly optimistic toward conventional activism and overly pessimistic toward an LLM benchmark because I was pretty sure the latter was going to look better, and indeed it still looks better by >2 orders of magnitude. I came up with the input parameters by doing approximately three seconds of research, I'm sure they could be much better.
/* If USA unilaterally pauses at a national level and doesn't coordinate with China, is that good or bad? "pause" doesn't have to be a literal pause, could also be a meaningful slowdown. What I have in mind is a significant pause or slowdown to put serious effort into solving AI safety, not just a short pause/slight slowdown. Model was written manually with point probabilities and then run through Squiggle AI to generate boilerplate + documentation, then I manually edited the documentation to make it better. Squiggle AI also turned all my point probabilities into ranges, which is fine I guess. */ // == Part 1: P(doom) ==
