Is anyone using the book as a funnel to LessWrong? I don’t think MIRI are (afaik). The only (again, afaik) event going on in the UK is being joint hosted by Pause AI, Control AI and some other local community members are helping out, which is not going to be a funnel for LW at all. I assume Lighthaven is doing something (haven’t checked) but are they going to say “If you like this book you’ll love our online forum?”
Moreover, is using LessWrong as the default funnel a good idea in the first place? I’d guess not. I know lots of people (notably Oliver Habryka) don’t approve of Pause AI or Control AI, but I assume there must be other directions for suddenly-invigorated normies to be pointed in (though I’ve not actually looked for them).
