How to use the AI Impacts Wiki

Good ways to begin include:

• Browse the front page
• Use the search box
• Browse the sitemap

This wiki is currently edited by people who work at AI Impacts, and a small set of colleagues who do not. If you would like us to consider adding you as an editor, contact Katja Grace.

This section has tips and tricks for using this wiki. If you need additional help, you can contact Ben Weinstein-Raun.

This wiki is an instance of Dokuwiki, and most basic information about it is available as dokuwiki documentation. For example, check out the page on Formatting Syntax.

For technical information about how the wiki is hosted, see Technical Details.

To make a new page:

1. make a link to the (non-existent) page from elsewhere, as if it did exist. Give it the right place in the hierarchy of categories using colons, e.g. 'speed_of_ai_transition:range_of_human_performance:time_for_ai_to_cross_the_human_range_in_english_draughts' (the 'internal link' button will mostly do this automatically if you search in it for the category immediately above your new page).
2. Click on the new link. You should get to a page which says that the page does not exist. Click on the 'create this page' icon in the very far right tab (not the emboldened words in the main text).

You can use markdown instead of dokuwiki syntax by wrapping your content in <markdown>...</markdown> tags. This should also allow you to import pages from tools that can export markdown, like Google Docs.

You can see more information on using markdown, including how to create wiki-internal links, on the plugin documentation page.

you can use mathjax by surrounding math with \( and \): \(3\uparrow\uparrow\uparrow3\). Unfortunately, this doesn't work inside markdown blocks.

You can put images in boxes by placing them in [ and ]:

This also turns their alt-text into a caption.
