I did not mean to imply that that was the intention, but I mean, surely in order for it to not need to serve both criteria you wouldn’t release it to the public, yeah?
edit: realize i should have clarified, the “public” i am thinking of when i say the constitution is doing PR, is mostly future AI, not current humans
but also, when i think about other kinds of communication where we wanted to avoid the signaling value of the communication overwhelming the first-order value… well. attorney-client privilege is the main one that my brain sort of pattern-matched to, in a way that made me flinch
but then since lawyers and clients have the choice of making all their communications absolutely private, the way the incentives shook out, any time a lawyer makes a public communication for their client you can be sure it’s PR
and i’m worried that, as these minds get more capable and more strange, some of those same incentives will end up applying here.
