'true name'?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Names

THE cyberpunk book.

Also, his later books are great but the "Across Realtime" trilogy has a special place in my heart. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/167844



I’m pretty sure Yudkowsky read true names and it’s what caused him to focus his life on the alignment problem.

That novella is basically an illustrated warning of misaligned super intelligence (it’s also really good!)


I still want augmented Chess to be a sport. You get a computer not weighing more than X pounds.
