At Festivus, we have the ritual of the Airing of Grievances.
This is a joke, which is funny because airing grievances is usually a terrible idea. It should be done carefully and gently, to avoid making enemies. In this case, we really need to not start infighting within the AI safety movement. Infighting appears to be a major cause of movements failing. Polarization seems much easier to create than to undo.
There are plenty of different opinions on what the best strategy is, and a lot of them are more reasonable than they look at a one-paragraph critique. Each of these is worth a post and discussion. It’s a very complex issue
This manner of Airing of Grievances feels sort of like going to Alice and saying “what do you think Bob does that’s stupid?”. then going to Bob with the same question about critiques of Alice, then telling both of them what the other said. Maybe you should do that in some situations, but you’d usually encourage them to talk to each other, and to be careful and nice about it.
