As a note on intellectual history, I think I was influenced by “Four Layers of Intellectual Conversation” (Yudkowsky 2016) and “AI Safety via Debate” (Irving, Christiano, Amodei 2018) when I wrote “Some Thoughts on Metaphilosophy” (2019), and I wonder if “AI Safety via Debate” itself was influenced by Eliezer’s post, even though there’s no direct citation, since both emphasize the problem-solving power of large/unlimited number of layers/rounds of debate.
