Most of the critical comments I see on HN involve accusing LW of being a cult, being too stupid to realize people can’t be fully rational, or being incredibly arrogant and overconfident about analysis based on ass-numbers and ill-researched personal opinion. I don’t see that much engagement with LW arguments around AI specifically.
On Twitter at least, a fair number of the cult allegations seem to be from (honestly fairly cult-ish people themselves) who don’t like what LW people say about AI, at least in the threads I’m likely to follow. But I defer to your greater HN expertise!
