Hey! We do both work at ControlAI. I didn’t know there was a strict norm about disclosing being colleagues with people when commenting on their posts (I’m fairly new to using LW): is that the case?
But just in case anyone is wondering, it’s not like I was told to comment positively on this. Alex mentioned he wrote it in a personal capacity on Slack and I just read it and thought it was good.
It’s helpful, I think, to do so; I don’t know if the mods have declared it an explicit norm, but I do know some folks who’ve had negative experiences when folks thought they were trying to pull a fast one.
(And just to reaffirm—don’t think Max was doing that, that’s why I wrote “misconstrued” above—just trying to help everyone keep their trigger fingers nice and relaxed here)
