The first ones that come to my mind are “money” and “being published in physical books”.
So I think the Review is pretty good at getting good old content, but I think the thing Said is talking about should happen more quickly, and should be more like Royal Society Letters or w/e.
Actually, I wonder about Rohin’s newsletters as a model/seed. They attract more scrutiny to things, but they come with the reward of Rohin’s summary (and, presumably, more eyeballs than it would have gotten on its own). But also people were going to be writing those things for their own reasons anyway.
I think if we had the Eliezer-curated weekly newsletter of “here are the LW posts that caught my interest plus commentary on them”, we would probably think the reward and scrutiny were balanced. Of course, as with any suggestion that proposes spending Eliezer-time on something, I think this is pretty dang expensive—but the Royal Society Letters were also colossally expensive to produce.
