The central idea (avoid single-factor models, while acknowledging this is itself just a single factor among many) is entirely mine.
Several of the sub-threads, such as Structural Defenses (e.g. non-AI methods to prevent one-shottedness), the Activist-Ideologue distinction, and Metastasization of the Local Frame were suggested during discussion with Claude and GPT5 about the central idea, and I chose to incorporate them after further discussion. Many potential sub-threads did not make the cut.
Others of the sub-threads, such as Why This Persists, the Self-Own, and and the general importance of factors and difficulty of multi-factor thinking are my ideas that were deepened through discussion with AI.
Dimensionalization and Conceptual Rhyme are my ideas that I have written previously about how to get AI to perform on command; I developed these working closely with AI.
Some phrasing is AI-written, but most of the writing is my own.
This is the first essay in what I intend to be a brief series about using AI to help automate and scale perspective-taking.
Could you tell us what role collaboration with AI played, in the production of this essay?
