(This is more of a vision than a solution, hope it still helps)
I have a dream! And in this dream, there is a central place to have each conversation, as opposed to having each conversation in multiple places.
As an example to imagine: “Does Org X advance safety more or capabilities more?”
This has sub questions, like “is advancing capabilities bad?” and so on.
Instead of having each conversation again and again each place it comes up, I think it would be much better to have a community-built “FAQ” or so, organically built, by linking conversations to each other.
I imagine someone replying “the question of whether capabilities are good or bad is discussed in this LINK”, which has the best arguments for each side, and the best sub-arguments, and so on.
The situation today is often more like “the question [...] was discussed in at least 10 different places, here are some of them: …”, which is hard to read, hard to add to the conversation, hard to know if I got all the important viewpoints, and so on.
I think we can do better, and I specifically think this could be an important step towards the forum becoming a place with high quality conversations, and with readable+accessible information, clear marked curxes, and so on.
I’m not sure how to do this; my starting point would maybe be “look for some of these things that are discussed several times”, and then ask people (or something?) why they didn’t add it all to the same place (?) I’m not sure, this seems like non-trivial product work which is too advanced for me to just pull out of my hat or to invent many features around; so I’m just pitching it as a vision for now
