If I make a post or comment starting from the assumption that we are not doomed, and in fact ignore AI x-risk entirely, where would that stand on these moderation guidelines? My reading of the post was that in such a context I would be redirected to read the sequences rather than engaged with.
(Notably the post you link to doesn’t disagree with AI risk, just argues for a long timeline. She explicitly states she agrees with EY on AI x-risk.)
such posts are generally not banned to my knowledge but, ah, won’t have positive score unless you can describe mechanistically why a lot of hyperskeptical people should be convinced you’re definitely right. Can you demonstrate a bound on the possible behaviors of a system, the way I can demonstrate a bound on the possible behaviors of a safe rust program?
I don’t think it’s quite that; a more central example I think would be something like a post about extrapolating demographic trends to 2070 under the UN’s assumptions, where then justifying whether or not 2070 is a real year is kind of a different field.
