Out of curiosity, I looked at your post “Here’s the exit.”
Although I didn’t agree with it, all the people harshly criticizing you really made me really feel your frustrations. Yes, this is the LessWrong echo chamber. The internet forum hivemind.
I feel very sorry for being sarcastic etc. you’ve obviously received too much of that from others.
Reading their accusations, I start to feel like I’m on your side :/ and my biased brain decided to remember all the examples of what you’re talking about.
I remember all these discussions where people didn’t just objectively believe that P(doom) was high, they were sort of rude and antagonistic about it. I remember some people villainizing AI researchers similarly to how militant vegans villainize meat eaters. It doesn’t even work, you don’t convince meat eaters by telling them they’re monsters, you’re supposed to be empathetic.
I really wish some of those people should chill out more, and I think your post is very good.
(Strangely, I can’t find these examples right now. All I found was this comment, which wasn’t that bad, and the replies to your “Here’s the exit” post.)
