On what is lacking: It was written for reading groups, which is already a softly gatekept space. It doesn’t provide guidance on other communication channels: what people could write blogs or tweets about, what is safe to talk to LLMs about, what about google docs, etc. Indeed, I was concerned about infinitely abstract galaxy-brain infohazard potential from this very post.
On dissent:
I wanted to double down on the message in the document itself that is preliminary and not the be-all-end-all.
I have reached out to one person I have in mind within EA biosecurity who pushed back on the infohazard guidance document to give them the option to share their disagreement, potentially anonymously.
Thanks for your comment!
