I don’t think EA has been silent on the issue. Also, I think that there has been pushback against Bostrom’s comments and apology. If you mean to say there is conformism about being anti-Bostrom, that very may well be the case but we’re talking about quite literally one of the most controversial topics. I have provided some pushback (as well as others like Geoff Miller) on comments critical of Bostrom and I’ve received a fair amount of agreement votes/upvotes which surprised me. I actually think the forum is handling it rather well despite disagreeing with many of the more Bostrom-critical comments.
