Big picture of phasic dopamine

📖 Description

*(**Update Jan. 2023:** This article has important errors. I am leaving it as-is in case people want to see the historical trail of me gradually making progress. Most of the content here is revised and better-explained in my later post series* [*Intro to Brain-Like AGI Safety*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/s/HzcM2dkCq7fwXBej8)*, see especially Posts* [*5*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/F759WQ8iKjqBncDki/intro-to-brain-like-agi-safety-5-the-long-term-predictor-and) *and* [*6*](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/qNZSBqLEh4qLRqgWW/intro-to-brain-like-agi-safety-6-big-picture-of-motivation)*. Anyway, I still think that this post has lots of big kernels of truth, and that my updates since writing it have mostly been centered around how that big picture is implemented in neuroanatomy.)*
