What do you think should be said, that hasn’t been said?
I think AI existential risk and short timelines are extremely much more mainstream topics now than they were in 2020/2022 (when I distinctly recall being wary of being thought insane by people who weren’t following LessWrong or adjacent communities), with a lot more being said everywhere, not just on LessWrong. Eliezer published a book that sold well. If I could think of something that should be said on this topic that hadn’t been said better than I can say it, I’d speak up about it (and I do, in less-informed communities where the information is still news to them), but no thing of that type comes to mind. But meanwhile, I do still come here for analysis of new information as it comes out, and refer people who want to get up to speed to things that are written here. Often they’re from a few years ago, but are still relevant to people who haven’t read them yet.
