They don’t want to dilute the field with their “noise”
I think it would be great regarding posts and comments about AI on LessWrong if we could establish a more tolerant atmosphere and bias toward posting/commenting without fear of producing “noise”. The AI Alignment Forum exists to be the discussion platform that’s filtered to only high-quality posts and comments. So it seems suboptimal and not taking advantage of the dual-forum system for people to be self-censoring to a large degree on the more permissive forum (i.e. LessWrong).
(This is not at all to dismiss your concerns and say “you should feel more comfortable speaking freely on LessWrong”. Just stating a general direction I’d like to see the community and conversation norms move in.)
