I totally screwed up by not actually reading this post until today, even though I spoke a bunch with Xuan in meatspace about it and related topics.
I want to highlight it as a positive example of how I think epistemic diversity claims should be made! It’s literally like “I found a specific thing in your blindspots that I expect to provide value in these particular ways to help you accomplish your high level goals”, which is great. Making a positive case for “contracts are the primitive units we want to study in alignment, not preferences” really hit hard and gave the author license to have earlier described their unease with the literature’s blindspots.
