There’s been a lot of discussion about how Less Wrong is mostly just AI these days.
If that’s something that folk want to address, I suspect that the best way to do this would be to run something like the Roots of Progress Blog-Building Intensive. My admittedly vague impression is that it seems to have been fairly successful.
Between Less Wrong for distribution, Lighthaven for a writing retreat and Less Online for networking, a lot of the key infrastructure is already there to run a really strong program if the Lightcone team ever decided to pursue this.
There was discussion about an FHI of the West before, but that seems hard given the current funding situation. I suspect that a program like this would be much more viable.

We’ve actually been thinking about something quite related! More info soon.
