I have tried thinking about what’s the best way to avoid the groupthink that exists on most social media forums and also on lesswrong. I’m not yet convinced it can be solved at the level of software, the underlying social graph is fucked up.
There is no agreed upon definition of “good” on lesswrong. Theres people pro and against:
various AI alignment research agendas
various AI governance agendas
human genetic engineering
utilitarianism
longtermism
transhumanism of various types—such as human genetic engg, whole brain emulation, etc
Getting questions like this right or wrong is going to affect everything. Literal billions of people may well end up living or dying based on how these discussions go. (And yes I mean present day people, not hypothetical future people.)
I’m morally against a majority of the ideas proposed on lesswrong so I’m well aware it’s a hostile place for me.
I understand you are not here to discuss longtermism or whatever, but I’m just making you aware that’s what the “mob” also does at this place so ofcourse the same behaviour carries over to your replies.
