i think your comment highlights exactly what i’m trying to get at:
“… a different forum might be a better fit for your style.”
“its tone was probably out of step with how we talk, etc. Downvoting a comment like that amounts to ‘this is not to my tastes and I want to talk about something else.’“
ea is a community with the power to influence research/ policy/ etc with real world implications — to dismiss ideas you simply don’t care for is dangerous in this context. especially when, for example, it is posited that unsafe ai is already here, and ai development arguably has cascading effects/ impacts/ implications on all these other areas of concern on ea — to fail to make an argument for why this is unfounded or incorrect appears as negligence and ultimately a failure of the “better” ea aims to bring about. if it’s been harped on before and addressed, why not then point someone new or misguided in the right direction? discourse/ conversations is how mutual collective progress is made, not by a small few deeming what is worthy or not.
