Thanks, Dave. That would be pretty silly of me (I don’t like feeling I’m talking to a wall, and I don’t want you to either), and I’m glad you asked for clarification rather than just concluding that was what I meant to do.
I’m sad that landed this way for you. I’ll try and say this again, and I hope this lands as the appreciative and cooperative reply I aimed to write: - there were a lot of things to say in this post, and there are several important things we didn’t have space to go into (seriously, that post would have been unbearably long). - the whole PauseAI and PauseAI US ‘parallel ontogeny’ arc is not central to this overview, especially since PauseAI US are their own entity and we don’t want to muddle that distinction by including them in this already long overview of our own org (it’s already pretty confusing to people that there should be 2 orgs with a related name/brand that aren’t the same org). - we do want to say more about that whole arc, and we will. If politicians’ or customer service agents’ promises leave you expecting that we won’t honour what we’ve committed to doing, you have my commiserations, and I hope you’ll assume good faith for a few days.
We’re resource-constrained and have other things to attend to; we’re working through comments at the pace at which we can reply clearly and thoughtfully, and we want to make sure everything we say about our ~shared history and present with PauseAI US is accurate. I replied to you over the weekend because I got the sense that there was some urgency on your side in knowing whether we intended to say more about this, and it seemed like a reasonable thing to do to confirm that. I only joined PauseAI’s federation as a staff member a few months ago, so it wouldn’t make sense for me to try and address this area I’m not super familiar with in a comment, but we do want to answer you, as well as other people who’ve asked questions we haven’t yet got round to replying to (substantively or at all).
Please give us a few days to work through comments.
Thanks, I appreciate you following up. I admit that I have very little expectation that PauseAI will substantively respond here, but I hope that expectation to be proven wrong.
