On evals, I think it is good for us to be doing as much evals as possible, firstly because both sorts of evaluations are important, but also more (even self imposed) regulatory hurdles to jump through, the better. Slow it down and bring the companies under control.
Indeed, the call is a broader political coalition building. Not everyone, not all the time, not on everything. But on substantially more than we currently are.
Yes
There are a number of counterarguments to this post, but I didn’t include them because a) I probably can’t give the strongest counterarguments to my own beliefs b) This post was already very long, and I had to cut out sections already on Actor-Network Theory and Agency and something else I can’t remember c) I felt it might muddle the case I’m trying to make here if it was intersperced with counterarguments. One quick point on counterarguments is I think a counterargument would need to be strong enough to not just prove that the extreme end result is bad ( a lot more coalition building would be bad ) , but probably that the post is directionally bad (some more coalition building would be bad).
Ye I basically agree with this.
