I’m an admin of this site; I work full-time on trying to help people on LessWrong refine the art of human rationality. (Longer bio.)
I generally feel more hopeful about a situation when I understand it better.
Non-disclosure agreements I have signed: Around 2017 I signed an NDA when visiting the London DeepMind offices for lunch, one covering sharing any research secrets, that was required by all guests before we were allowed me access to the building. I do not believe I have ever signed another NDA.
We are currently at 270 attendees for LessOnline! It’s gonna be a busy weekend.
Also (if you haven’t seen) lots of new great writers confirmed attending including Scott Sumner, Agnes Callard, and Patrick McKenzie.
