I wasn’t really a fan of framing this as a “rot”. I worry that this tilts people towards engaging with this topic more emotionally rather than rationally.
I thought you made some good points, however: Regarding peer review, I expect that one of the major cruxes here is timelines and whether engaging more with the peer-review system would slow down work too much. Regarding hiring value-aligned people, I thought that you didn’t engage much with the reasons why people tend to think this is important (ability to set people ill-defined tasks which you can’t easily evaluate + worry about mission drift over longer periods of time).
