I can’t escape the thought that if you are at the point of kicking out Scott Alexander you should consider if you are contributing to evaporative cooling.
Again- Scott speaks for a vast group of people within AI safety. He is not paid mouthpiece for the labs or CG or any of the powerful actors. He is ideologically very close to y’all—his views are probably more than doomer than 90% of people in AI safety broadly. I know Habryka vehemently denies this but from the outside it does very much seem like the narcissism of small differences.
I think I’ve heard your perspective and you’ve heard mine / Habryka’s, and communicating that is I think most of what’s happening here, I’ll bow out of this thread for now.
